Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 12

maiñ akelā hī chalā thā jānib-e-manzil magar
log saath aate ga.e aur kārvāñ bantā gayā
मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब ए मंज़िल मगर
लोग साथ आते गए और कारवां बनता गया
(Majrooh Sultanpuri)

dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām hī to hai
lambī hai ġham kī shaam magar shaam hī to hai
दिल नाउम्मीद तो नहीं नाकाम ही तो है
लम्बी है ग़म की शाम मगर शाम ही तो है
(Faiz Ahmad Faiz)

hayāt le ke chalo kā.enāt le ke chalo
chalo to saare zamāne ko saath le ke chalo
हयात ले के चलो कायनात ले के चलो
चलो तो सारे जमाने को साथ ले के चलो
(Makhdoom Mohiuddin)

मुश्किलें मुझ पर पड़ीं इतनी के आसान हो गईं

ऐसा कुछ कर के चलो यहाँ के बहुत याद रहो
(Meer Taqi Meer)

koshish bhī kar umiid bhī rakh rāsta bhī chun
phir is ke ba.ad thoḌā muqaddar talāsh kar
कोशिश भी कर उम्मीद भी रख रास्ता भी चुन
फिर इस के बाद थोड़ा मुकद्दर तलाश कर
(Nida Fazli)

apnā zamāna aap banāte haiñ ahl-e-dil

अपना ज़माना आप बनाते है एहल ए दिल
हम वो नहीं के जिनको ज़माना बना गया

चला जाता हँसता खेलता मौज ए हवादिस से
अगर आसानीआं हों ज़िंदगी दुश्वार हो जाये

ye kah ke dil ne mere hausle baḌhā.e haiñ
ġhamoñ kī dhuup ke aage ḳhushī ke saa.e haiñ
ये कह के दिल ने मेरे हौसले बढ़ाए हैं
ग़मों की धूप क आगे खुशी के साये हैं
(Mahirul Qadri)

pyāso raho na dasht meñ bārish ke muntazir
maaro zamīñ pe paañv ki paanī nikal paḌe
प्यासों रहो ना दश्त में बारिश के मुंतज़िर
मारो ज़मीं पे पाँव के पानी निकाल पड़े
(Iqbal Sajid)

baḌh ke tūfān ko āġhosh meñ le le apnī
Dūbne vaale tire haath se sāhil to gayā
बढ़ के तूफान को आगोश में ले ले अपनी
डूबने वाले तेरे हाथ से साहिल तो गया
(Abdul Hamid Adam)

yaqīn ho to koī rāsta nikaltā hai
havā kī oT bhī le kar charāġh jaltā hai
यकीं हो तो कोई रास्ता निकलता है
हवा की ओट भी लेकर चराग़ जलता है
(Manzoor Hashmi)

tū samajhtā hai havādis haiñ satāne ke liye
ye huā karte haiñ zāhir āzmāne ke liye
तू समझता है हवादिस हैं सताने के लिए
ये हुआ करते हैं ज़ाहिर आज़माने के लिए

kashtiyāñ sab kī kināre pe pahuñch jaatī haiñ
nāḳhudā jin kā nahīñ un kā ḳhudā hotā hai
कश्तीयां सब किनारे पे पहुँच जाती हैं
नाखुदा जिन का नहीं उनका खुदा होता है
(Ameer Minai)

mere junūñ kā natīja zarūr niklegā
isī siyāh samundar se nuur niklegā
मेरे जुनून का नतीजा ज़रूर निकलेगा
इसी सियाह समुंदर से नूर निकलेगा
(Ameer Qazalbash)

There are few forms of expression in this civilization, more expressively nuanced than Urdu poetry. The number of amateur poets among the millennials trying their hand at this form of creativity are staggering. There is hope for the ‘tehzeeb’ to flourish. I am able to visualise the coming generation of ghazal/sufiana & qawwali vocalists to continue this tradition. I have quoted the above asha’ar as a sample of urdu motivating poetry. It is a sea out there of such poetry. I have given a deliberate miss to Allama Iqbal’s qata’at, which have graced the pages of calendars & almanac’s for more than a century now.

Calender of every new year, which were booked and bought weeks or months ago in anticipation of the coming new year, have also lost their importance. ‘Kalnirnay’ for example, which came in all languages and gave the various information about different festivals and customs.

Someone gifted me a table décor piece a few weeks ago, which is a wooden box/shelf, open from the top and front. It has 4 cubes of metal with name of months and two larger wooden cubes for the dates, with numerical, which can be set to display the date.

The paper calendar would serve us for the whole year, with each page displaying 1, 2 or 3 months. Over the decades, these old faithful have undergone many changes and upheavals, to survive till now. Just like wristwatches, which have become mere ornaments or fashion statements. Some people still buy and wear them, some are having collection of wrist watches. Wall clocks have weathered the storm better, and every household still has them. But I have found it difficult to find shops selling good quality wall clocks, rather than the ornament ones which are available in gift shops. In effect, if I want a wall clock, I got to gift one to myself. Which brings me back to the gift of décor piece. I like it a lot, as I have a weakness for wooden décor pieces.

Back to the starting point of this post, which is Majrooh Sultanpuri’s Sha’iri . I had given up the hope for finding a Rafi song by SD Burman, to include in this series. But still there is a ray, which kept the hope alive that some Rafi recording will appear, from somewhere. Even the last snippets of small renditions from ‘Pyaasa’ were posted in the blog.

But I am beyond delight to find this wonderful rendition and recording of the peppy tune SD Burman for the Guru Dutt film ‘Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi’ (1966). The story behind this recording, going into oblivion all these decades, in here:

  • Ye Dil Na Hota Bechara – In an interview with lyricist Gulzar, RD Burman revealed that he had adapted the tune of the whistle in the theme of the film ‘The Bridge On The River Kwai’ (1957) for the mukhda of this song. The same tune was used in the title song of the film ‘Paltan’ (2018).
  • Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara – SD Burman had offered the tune of this song to Guru Dutt for the film ‘Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi’ (1966). Not liking the tune, Guru Dutt had declined it and gone ahead with OP Nayyar instead. •
  • “Ye Dil Na Hota Bechara” – Guru Dutt first approached S.D. Burman to compose the music for this film. According to Raju Bharatan, Dutt did not like the title tune composed by Burman and opted for OP Nayyar instead. SD Burman later used this tune for “Ye Dil Na Hota Bechara” (‘Jewel Thief’, 1967). Some account says that Dutt opted for Nayyar due to Burman’s prolonged illness. A close associate/friend of RD Burman had saved this recording and released it to the public recently. This is likely written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, so it is a classic combination of Rafi-Majrooh-SDB, which is a must for any list of ‘Legendary Associations of Rafi Sahab’. As necessary as a Lata-Rafi song or a Rafi-Shakeel-Naushad song, I have hopes of finding Rafi songs of these teams too, as a couple of songs still are to be covered in the blog.

A list of all songs of combination of Rafi-Majrooh-SDB is in the table below.

Sr No Songs Film Year Singer
1 Aaja Panchi Akela Hai Nau Do Gyarah 1957 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
2 Kali Ke Roop Mein Chali Ho Dhoop Mein Kahn Nau Do Gyarah 1957 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
3 Achha Ji Main Haari Chalo Maan Jaao Na Kala Pani 1958 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
4 Hum Bekhudi Mein Tum Ko Pukare Chale Gaye Kala Pani 1958 Mohd Rafi

16 Dil To Hai Deewana Na Maanega Bahana Na Manzil 1960 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
17 Aaj Ka Din Bhi Pheeka Pheeka Baat Ek Raat Ki 1962 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
18 Akela Hun Main Is Duniya Mein Baat Ek Raat Ki 1962 Mohd Rafi
19 Jo Hain Deewane Pyar Ke Baat Ek Raat Ki 1962 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
20 Jo Ijaazat Ho To Ek Baat Kahun Baat Ek Raat Ki 1962 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
21 Sheeshe Ka Ho Ya Patthar Ka Dil Baat Ek Raat Ki 1962 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
22 Ghabra Kar Tumse Mohabbat Kar Baithe Dr Vidya 1962 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
23 Main Kal Phir Milungi Isi Gulistaan Mein Dr Vidya 1962 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
24 Yun Hans Hans Kar Dekho Na Idhar Dr Vidya 1962 Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
25 Aise To Na Dekho Ke Humko Nasha Ho Jaaye Teen Deviyan 1965 Mohd Rafi
26 Kahin Bekhayal Hokar Yun Hi Chhoo Liya Kisi Ne Teen Deviyan 1965 Mohd Rafi
27 Dil Pukare Aare-3 O Abhi Na Ja Mere Saathi Jewel Thief 1967 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
28 Junali Raat Ma..Aaj Ko Jhunli Raat Maa Talash 1969 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
29 Palkon Ke Peeche Se Kya Tumne Keh Daala Talash 1969 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
30 Teri Bindya Re Re Haye Teri Bindiya Re Abhimaan 1973 Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar

So, the present song recorded for ‘Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi’ becomes the 31st song.  The list starts with “Aaja Panchhi Akela Hai” from ‘Nau do Gyarah’ (1957) to end with “Teri Bindiya Re” from ‘Abhiman’ (1973).  On way this team gave us such memorable duets “Palkon Ke Peechhe Se Kya Tum Ne Keh Daala“, “Dil Pukaare Aa Re Aa Re Aa Re“, “Deewaana Mastaana Hua Dil” and “Achcha Ji Main Haari Chalo Maan Jaao Na“, and soulful solos as well which are all time classics. Individual tally of this team:

SD Burman (1946-1976)

645

87 movies (666)

Majrooh Sultanpuri

1171

2053

Rafi

3237

4846

SDB-Rafi songs are 105+ and Rafi-Majrooh songs are just short of 400.  For SDB’s 666, Rafi songs at 105 are a little bit less than what Lata and Asha must have, around 150 each or less at a guess.  Geeta Dutt will also account for some 100 odd songs or may be more. Kishore Kumar could also be around 100 or a little more, as he was giving playback only to Dev Anand for some time.   As for Majrooh, at 2053 career songs he is the poet with 3rd largest number, first being Sameer and second Anand Bakshi. For Rafi Saab 400 out of 2053 is very good turnout.

This new song, which was recorded as a sample title song for ‘Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi’ is also an example of how SDB could mould Rafi Saab’s singing to sound like a solo happy traveler, yet so soft and so convincing in the optimistic expressions.

This newfound song gives hopes for other songs, surfacing sooner or later.  I am waiting along with countless Rafi Saab fans, for the discovery of such new Rafi songs.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 67
————————————————————————————–

This date ten years ago (viz 9 July 2012) saw five songs from five different movies getting covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6201 Jo dil ki baat hoti hai Baaz (1953) Movie YIPPEED by now
6202 Nigaahen kyun milaayin thhin Laal Kunwar(1952) 8 songs covered out of 11
6203 Khilona jaan kar tum to mera dil tod jaate ho Khilona(1970) Movie YIPPEED by now
6204 Agar tu aabroo apni bachaa leti to achcha thhaa Ladki Pasand Hai(1971) One song covered out of 8
6205 Maana teri nazar mein Aahistaa Aahistaa (1981) 4 songs covered out of 8

One can notice that two movies (out of five) whose songs were covered ten years ago on this date have since been YIPPEED. That leaves us with three movies that are eligible for blog ten year challenge today.

“Ladki Pasand Hai”(1971) is one of the eligible movies.

“Ladki Pasand Hai”(1971) was produced by B L Rawal and directed by C L Rawal for Rawal Films, Bombay. The movie had Mumtaz and Deepak Kumar in lead roles. The movie also had Rajendranath, Sajjan, Sulochana, Jeevan, Manmohan, Siddhu, Jayshree T, Guddi, Mehmood Junior, Tabassum, Manorama, Randhir, Mumtaz Begum, Uma Dutt, Niranjan Sharma, Radhe Shyam, Ram Avtar, Ramlal etc in it.

“Ladki Pasand Hai”(1971) had eight songs in it. One song has so far been covered. That song was covered exactly ten years ago on this date.

So after exactly ten years to the date, here is the second song from “Ladki Pasand Hai”(1971) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. G L Rawal is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sonik Omi.

Only audio of the song is available. It appears that the song was excluded from the movie.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
