Mukesh and his Co-Singers – 8
——————————————–
Today, we take up Mukesh’s association with playback singer Jagjit Kaur wherein there is a solitary duet and that too in an unreleased film called ‘Hum Ek Hain’.
There are 3 released movies named ‘Hum Ek Hain’ and one unreleased. Mukesh has sung one solo in one of the released movies under Usha Khanna and one solo and a duet in the unreleased movie under Khaiyyam. Confused? Well, me too and hence the table below.

Further, I came across a rather familiar song which is again represented by the name “Hum Ek Hain” – “Awaaz Do Hum Ek Hain“. And seeing that popular actors have been featured in the video version of the song, one is left to imagine which of the above films, the said song belongs to.
Fortunately, I did not have to struggle much to trace the details as it was amply clear that it was a stand-alone NFS (1962) patriotic song produced by Govt of India’s Films Division and sung with much gusto by Rafi Saab. Details of the said song are represented on our blog in this link here. Of all the composers Khayyam Saab scored music for the album thereby creating additional curiosity as well as confusion for me.
Now, an original film booklet sheet of 1969 film in which Mukesh has a solo is easily available on the net and is reproduced below.
For some strange reason, Mukesh’s name is missing in the list of playback singers. I am not sure if the song was dropped from the film soundtrack, but the solo does exist in audio form.
Coming to Mukesh’s combo with Jagjit Kaur, I have said in the beginning of the post that there is a solitary duet. It’s a surprise that the two artists did not collaborate more in spite of Mukesh seemingly to be close to Khayyam Saab family. However, we should remember that Khayyam Saab himself engaged Jagit Kaur sparingly for playback songs and relied more on the two Mangeshkar sisters.
As we are well aware, both Khayyam Saab and his wife Jagjit Kaur left for their heavenly abode in the very recent past.
Khayyam Saab: 18 February 1927 – 19 August 2019 Jagjit Kaur: 1930 – 15 August 2021
I pay tributes to both the artists and bring forth this duet of Jagjit Kaur and Mukesh from an unreleased film titled ‘Hum Ek Hain’ and composed by Khayyam Saab. Jagjit Kaur sings in unison with Mukesh and her voice is not heard separately. Such is the rarity of this only duet of the combo.
Song – Ram Kaho Ya Rahim Kaho Tum Krishn Kaho Ya Kareem Kaho (Hum Ek Hain) (UR) (1960s) Singer – Mukesh, Jagjit Kaur (only in chorus with Mukesh), Lyrics – Jaan Nisar Akhtar, MD – Khayyaam Mukesh + Jagjit Kaur Mukesh + Jagjit Kaur + Chorus Chorus

वो है अल्लाह
वो है ईश्वर
वो है मुक्ति धाम
एक नहीं सौ रूप हैं उसके
एक नहीं सौ नाम
राम कहो या रहीम कहो
तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो
राम कहो या रहीम कहो
आवाज़ तुम्हारी पहुंचेगी
मालिक तक जो भी नाम भजो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो
मंदिर मस्जिद एक हैं दोनों उसके आगे
उसकी लीला देख ना पाएँ महल अभागे
दुनिया रस्ता भूल गई है ऐसा लागे
मन में कोइ खोट रहे ना मन तब जागे आपस में मतभेद ना बरतो इतना मत अभिमान करो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो आवाज़ तुम्हारी पहुंचेगी मालिक तक जो भी नाम भजो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो
ज़ातें पातें वर्ग नियम सब झूठे सारे
रस्में हों या रीत के बंधन ढोंग हैं सारे
नादानों ने आप किए हैं ये बटवारे
वो है सबका आज भी उसको सब हैं प्यारे दीन यही है धर्म यही है मानवता का मान करो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो आवाज़ तुम्हारी पहुंचेगी मालिक तक जो भी नाम भजो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो
कौन ये मंदिर द्वार खड़ा है शीश झुकाये (आ आ आ आ)
तरसे पर भगवान के दर्शन कर ना पाये (आ आ आ आ)
सब पर मंदिर द्वार खुलें कब वो दिन आए (हम्म हम्म हम्म हम्म)
कब तक ये अंधेर कहाँ तक ये अन्याय॰॰ए॰॰ए कब तक ये अंधेर कहाँ तक ये अन्याय॰॰ए॰॰ए जिसने सबको एक बनाया उसका मत अपमान करो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो आवाज़ तुम्हारी पहुंचेगी मालिक तक जो भी नाम भजो राम कहो या रहीम कहो तुम कृष्ण कहो या करीम कहो राम कहो या रहीम कहो

Today, 25th of October 2017, is the thirty seventh ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the great ‘poet-lyricist’ Sahir Ludhianvi. He passed away this day in 1980 leaving behind the great legacy of his poems and leaving behind his immortal poetry which people are still enjoying, discussing, and even doing research on it and writing about his life and his poetry. And like me there will be many who will agree that Sahir and his poetry will be discussed as long as Hindi Cinema and HFM exists and his poetry will be discussed so long as humanity and human relations, emotions exists.
