Expressions of love are varied and come in multitude of flavors. And probably the largest collection of such flavors are the songs of Hindi films. It is remarkable that in each film, the poets, and the directors get together and attempt to present these expressions of love in novel and as yet untried ways. And so also in this film and this song. The entire song is presented with the hero firmly clasping one hand of the heroine and not letting her go, while all the time he is singing words, exhorting her to leave if she wants to, nobody is stopping her – Jaaiye Jaaiye Huzoor, Aapko Kis Ne Rokaa Hai.

When I look at the lyrics of this song from “Shaahi Luteraa” (1965), I wonder if the lyricist Gulshan Baawra had ever thought of becoming an anatomist/ physician as an alternative career option. 🙂 One can find mention of so many body parts in this song, viz. “Chehra” (face), “Zulf” (tress of hair), “Aankh” (eye),”Pehloo” (side),”Palken” (eye brows),”dil” (heart), “Jigar” (liver) etc. 🙂 But in the lyricist’s scheme of things, “jigar” is more valuable than “dil”, which few medical practitioners would agree with.

The general impression of a qawwaali is that is sung by a group of singers and musicians together. Either it is one group that is presenting, with one or two lead singers, a number of other singers providing the chorus, and some members of the group are playing the musical instruments. Or it is a presentation by two groups composed as described above, who may be competing with each other, in presenting ideas about a specific theme. This latter variation is called ‘baitbaazi’ .
