Yesterday, I had posted the song “Tumhen Dil Se Jaane Nahin Denge Hum” from the 1945 film ‘Sanyaasi’. The song came at the request of Sikander Esmail Sb who currently resides in the USA. Yesterday morning Atul ji had
forwarded to me an email from Sikander Sb, wherein he has requested for three songs from the 1940s that he is trying to locate. There are some wonderful memories of some departed friends associated with these songs.

“Abhi Naa Jaao Chhod Kar, Ke Dil Abhi Bharaa Nahin”.
The manner of expression, the selective emphasis, the slow measured pace of eloquence, the first rendering of this line – and the soft melody simply steals your heart away. And the mind wants to beseech the departed souls, to kindly tarry, and stay for a bit more, for the heart is not satiated as yet. Words from the pen of Sahir Sb, the touching expression in Rafi Sb’s voice, and one can imagine the balding, somewhat simple and frail, bespectacled Jaidev, conducting the instrumentalists, as the song progresses.

People who are into watching Hindi movies must have noticed that the lead actors do not seem to do anything for their livelihood in Hindi movies. The hero in these movies is seen wooing the leading lady, first by singing a teasing song, then a romantic song. Then there would be a separation song, a misunderstanding song, a reconciliation song etc. Thinking about his/her love interest appears to be the full time job with Hindi movie lead actors which certainly cannot be one’s means of livelihood unless their names happen to be Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, who actually earned their livelihood by this method.

Mukesh, a name synonymous with the sounds of the soul, a name the evokes memories of music that wouldn’t have been possible, but for him, a name that sits so simply and comfortably within the strands and threads of a thousand songs that have been blessed with the touch of this expressive and poignant voice. Songs, that may otherwise have been relegated to anonymity and obscurity, had they not been sung by this vocalist of Gods.
