ہر ایک بات پہ کہتے ہو تم کہ تو کیا ہے

تمہیں کہو کہ یہ انداز گفتگو کیا ہے

نہ شعلہ میں یہ کرشمہ نہ برق میں یہ ادا

کوئی بتاؤ کہ وہ شوخ تند خو کیا ہے

یہ رشک ہے کہ وہ ہوتا ہے ہم سخن تم سے

وگرنہ خوف بد آموزی عدو کیا ہے

چپک رہا ہے بدن پر لہو سے پیراہن

ہمارے جیب کو اب حاجت رفو کیا ہے

جلا ہے جسم جہاں دل بھی جل گیا ہوگا

کریدتے ہو جو اب راکھ جستجو کیا ہے

رگوں میں دوڑتے پھرنے کے ہم نہیں قائل

جب آنکھ ہی سے نہ ٹپکا تو پھر لہو کیا ہے

وہ چیز جس کے لیے ہم کو ہو بہشت عزیز

سوائے بادۂ گلفام مشک بو کیا ہے

پیوں شراب اگر خم بھی دیکھ لوں دو چار

یہ شیشہ و قدح و کوزہ و سبو کیا ہے

رہی نہ طاقت گفتار اور اگر ہو بھی

تو کس امید پہ کہیے کہ آرزو کیا ہے

ہوا ہے شہہ کا مصاحب پھرے ہے اتراتا

وگرنہ شہر میں غالبؔ کی آبرو کیا ہے

हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम कि तू क्या है
तुम्हीं कहो कि ये अंदाज़-ए-गुफ़्तुगू क्या है

न शो’ले में ये करिश्मा न बर्क़ में ये अदा
कोई बताओ कि वो शोख़-ए-तुंद-ख़ू क्या है

ये रश्क है कि वो होता है हम-सुख़न तुम से
वगर्ना ख़ौफ़-ए-बद-आमोज़ी-ए-अदू क्या है

चिपक रहा है बदन पर लहू से पैराहन
हमारे जैब को अब हाजत-ए-रफ़ू क्या है

जला है जिस्म जहाँ दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख जुस्तुजू क्या है

रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं क़ाइल
जब आँख ही से न टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है

वो चीज़ जिस के लिए हम को हो बहिश्त अज़ीज़
सिवाए बादा-ए-गुलफ़ाम-ए-मुश्क-बू क्या है

पियूँ शराब अगर ख़ुम भी देख लूँ दो-चार
ये शीशा ओ क़दह ओ कूज़ा ओ सुबू क्या है

रही न ताक़त-ए-गुफ़्तार और अगर हो भी
तो किस उमीद पे कहिए कि आरज़ू क्या है

हुआ है शह का मुसाहिब फिरे है इतराता
वगर्ना शहर में ‘ग़ालिब’ की आबरू क्या है

No need to say here that the above ghazal is the kalam of Mirza Ghalib. His takhallus is his signature in the last Shair. Like the painters sign at the bottom of the canvas. Newer trend here is the thumb impression, biometric is the new signature. Going back in time.

The trigger for the above ghazal is here in the last stanza of this song:

aakaash se taare toot padey
aankh se tapki jo meri daastaan

Today’s song is from a Costume film – Nagma E sahra aka The song of Desert- 1945.

The film was produced and directed by Master Bhagwan, for his own banner, Jagriti Pictures, Bombay. In those days the name of Master Bhagwan was well known for making C grade films for the lovers of stunt and action films. He had come up the hard way in this field. We know Bhagwan as a bulky comedian, but can you believe that Bhagwan had a great muscular body in the early days of his career ? He was not much educated, but he was not illiterate. He could not speak English like others, but he used to see English films regularly to get new ideas for his stunt films.

Today’s song is from the film Roop Kahani-50, a bi-lingual film( Roop katha-50 in Bangla), made by New Theatres during their last years. It was probably after this film that they closed shop forever.

The film was directed by Souren Sen. Souren Sen was a product of New Theatre’s policy of producing directors from within the company. Examples are Premankur Atorthy ( ex writer), Nitin Bose ( ex Editor) and Bimal Roy ( ex Editor). Souren Sen had started as an Art Director for film Desher Mati or Dharati mata-3 and followed it by films like Kashinath-43,Dui Purush-45, Milan-46, Desher Dabi-47, Nauka Dubi-47, Ramer Sumati-47, Manzoor-49 etc. He got a break as Director only in the last film of New Theatres Roop katha-50 Bangla and Roop kahani-50 Hindi version. Later he also directed one more film from Ashok Films, Calcutta- Chitrangada-54 in Bangla and Hindi. Thereafter he shifted to Bombay and he was an Art Director in Sahib bibi aur Ghulam-56, he did Shankar Narayan Bank-56 and Girls school-5 in Calcutta again. He did in Bombay Ek musafir ek haseena-62,Leader-64, Baharen phir bhi aayengi-66, Shikar-68 and Abhilasha-68.

The cast of the film was Ashita Bose, Asit Baran Mukherjee, Vijay Kumar, Tulsi Chakraborty, Zahar Roy and others. Music was by Pankaj Mullick.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dukh Sukh-1974’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 11.11.1974. This seems to be an obscure movie of its time as I could not find any video of the movie or its’ songson internet or any information about this movie except in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980). The details about this movie as mentioned in the Geet Kosh-Vol-V are as given below. I had shared these details earlier while presenting a Rafi song from this movie,‘mere paas aao de do sahaaraa’.

When I presented the above song from this movie more than five years back, only couple of songs from this movie were available, whereas many more songs from this movie have now become available.

‘Dukh Sukh-1974’ was directed by Majid Maqbool for Nausheen Films, Bombay. This movie had Sandeep Kumar, Shreedevi (I am not aware if she is the same Sreedevi that we know), Chaand, Majid Maqbool, Farshori, Swaroop, Shams, Lalitashri, Jyoti, Chandermohan, Revati, Hafeez, Khan, Pritam, Vijaya and others. As per HFGK Vol – V (1971-1980) this movie had five songs written by Javed Qadri and composed to music by Vitthal-Mumtaz. Geet Kosh has left space indicating more songs might have been recorded for this movie. The singers for the five songs listed in Geet Kosh are Manna Dey, Shashilata Virk, Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, and Krishna Kalle.

Today’s song is one of the very few songs sung by the Music Director Anil Biswas. Today’s film is Bhookh-1947.

In olden days, there were 3 major film centres-Bombay, Lahore and Calcutta. After 1947, all the Hindi film activity at Lahore shifted to Bombay. By mid 50’s even Calcutta almost stopped making Hindi films. Many Hindi speaking artistes in various disciplines of film making shifted to Bombay and finally Bombay became the only and the main Hindi film making Centre.

Today’s song is from a non descript C grade stunt film, Namumkin aka Impossible – 1946.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.
