HASEENA (1955) was produced under the banner of Shabaab Productions and directed by J P Advani. The star cast included Jairaj, Shyama, Krishna Kumari, Amarnath, Manmohan Krishna, Durga Khote etc. I had not heard of this film until few days back. With Jairaj in the film, my guess turned out to correct that the film was a costume drama as the story unfolds below.

The lines of this song “dil deewaana dil mastaana maane na” may remind most music lovers of the “Maine Pyaar Kiya” (1989) song that goes “dil deewaana bin sajna ke maane na”. The song “dil deewaana dil mastaana maane na” is not from that movie though. It is from a much older movie viz. “Aawaaz” (1956) and it is regarded as a timeless classic.

“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.

During the early 70s when I got interested in Hindi film songs of the golden era. I had heard from my seniors in this field talking about singers, music directors and lyricists of 30s and 40s with some anecdotes. While, I had almost forgotten many of the unfamiliar names over a period of time until the advent of the internet technology, one of very few names which firmly remained in my mind was that of D N Madhok. From their discussions, I had then realised that he must have been an influential lyricist of his time. He was stated to be one of very few lyricists of that time who used to give lyrics to music director with tunes. While this may be a boon for the struggling music directors, my guess is that the established and self-respecting music directors must have surely resented his ‘value addition’ to the lyrics. One of the music directors of the 40s ( I am not very sure but it was probably Shyam Sundar) had a tiff with him on this issue and he never worked with him.
