chhed kar taaron pe dil ke
ek adhoori ragini
aur deewaane ko deewaana bana jaate ho tum

24 February 2024 marked the birth centenary of legendary singer and actor Talat Mahmood. Born on 24 Feb 1924, he passed away on 09 May 1998 at the age of 74. This write up was planned to coincide with the Birth centenary, but the article got delayed. The remembrance day today (9 May 1998) offers us another opportunity to pay our tributes to Talat Mehmood (24 Feb 1924-9 May 1998).

I have inordinately delayed paying tributes to one of my favorite singers on his birth centenary and express sincere regrets for this lapse.

I did not see much fanfare or homage on his centenary day on social media and news items in laudation of one of the most popular voices HFM has ever seen. Or maybe, I must have missed them.

His biography by his relative Sahar Zaman, was also unveiled and launched just a couple of months before his 100th birthday. One would have expected it to be released on his centenary date which was just about two months away from the launch date, but I suppose, the biographer found it more prudent to release the biography at the 16th Global Film Festival held in December 2023 at Marwah Studiosm (at Noida, close to Delhi).

His son Khalid Mahmood maintains his father’s website ‘A Golden Voice – Talat Mahmood‘. It’s a well-maintained website containing ample information and pictures on the life and career of Talat Saab. Of particular interest to self and readers would be the page on Talat Saab’s song list wherein most of the details are provided barring the names of the respective lyricists and the year of release of the films. However, the list is of immense help particularly in tracing his unheard and hitherto unavailable songs. The list also has details on songs from unreleased films. For example, a solo and a duet with Lata Mangeshkar have been listed from an unreleased film ‘Preet Na Jaane Reet’. What caught my attention was the composer’s name. Sajjad Husain. Wow. The combo will inevitably remind fans of ‘Sangdil’ (1952). I understand from our Sudhir ji that the lyrics are also mentioned in the Talat Geet Kosh. He is also on the job of tracing the audio of the songs.

Coming to his songs it is easy to sum up his career as a singer of less than 750 odd songs, about a dozen films as an actor, multiple state and club awards, pioneer of foreign concerts and a Padma Bhushan in 1992.

But then, Talat Mahmood’s career is not about numbers. In fact, it is more than mere class or quality also. His voice is about a phenomenon and the legendary cult that continues to enthrall listeners all over the world to this day.

Talat Saab has sung for himself as well as provided playback. However, hardly 450 odd songs are on record, compared to few thousands by his notable contemporaries. Of these, 400 plus songs are already showcased on the blog. That’s a good 90% coverage and I am sure it will not be long before all available HF songs of his are represented here. There are around 167 geet, ghazal, bhajans etc. according to this website. Hardly 14 of these NFSs have been represented on our blog. So, we still have a lot of ground to cover as far as his NFSs are concerned.

Of all the singers of the golden era, his was the distinct voice which has its own aura and has stood the test of time. When a Talat song comes on radio / TV programs or our own collection of songs, it’s always about the voice that the mind steps back and ponders about the rare element in his renderings. He neither has the numbers nor the range, but whatever has been exhibited continues to glow in gold.

I was under the impression that I have written only one post on Talat Saab, but then, I was pleasantly surprised to trace 3 of my posts on Talat Saab wherein I seem to have covered quite a few aspects on his songs, his voice and his special association with Mukesh. Of special mention are the two songs from ‘Yahudi’ (1958) and ‘Sujata’ (1959) associated with his good friend Mukesh. I would request readers to visit the following 3 posts for these mentions and the stories behind the two songs.

Song Post Number Song Title Movie (Year) Date of post
11658 Mitne de meri zindagi Meharbani (1950) 15 December 2015
12724 Mujhko mohabbat ho gayi hai Biwi aur makaan (1966) 22 December 2016 Sung by Mukesh, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood and Joginder
14996 Aao baadal chain re royen Aawaara Ladki (1967) 19 April 2019

On reading the above posts once again, it seems I had a better flair for writing, a decade back than what I possess now. Again, on discovering the contents of the above posts, my efforts in this post have been cut to size. I have even listed 15 of his best songs (my selection) in one of the posts; something which I normally avoid because great songs of legends cannot be short-listed.

‘King of Ghazals’, ‘India’s Frank Sinatra’, ‘Velvet voiced’ and many other sobriquets have been rightly used and reused for him. So instead of writing on his voice, I will try to emphasize on a few songs, especially for the lyrics and the flawless rendition and the empathy conveyed by him.

a. abhi zinda hoon lekin sochata rehta hoon ye dil mein
ki ab tak kis tamannaa ke sahaare jee liyaa maine

These lines from the song “Muhabbat Tarq Ki Maine, Gharebaan See Liya Maine” of film ‘Doraaha’ (1952) are like a sharp knife cutting through the heart so much so that you tend to sympathize with the feelings. Each stanza in this song written by Sahir Saab and composed by Anil Da is a textbook case of composing songs of melancholy genre.

b. jab kisi ke rukh pe zulfen, aa ke lehraane lagin
hasraten uthh uthh ke, armaanon se takraane lagin

Talat Saab has his own inimitable style in rendering romance. Listen to the complete song penned by DN Madhok and tuned by Vinod, from ‘Anmol Ratan’ (1950).

c. har baat bane afsaana jahaan
har naam pe tohmat aati ho
uthte hi koi masoom nazar
bas ruswaayi ho jaati ho
ae dil aisi mehfil se to
behtar tanhaayi hai

These lines are from the song “Ye Kya Hai Dhang Zamaane Ka” Prem Dhawan in ‘Daak Babu’ (1954) came up with these beautiful verses.

d. koi jab yeh geet sunega
pyaar ka phir woh naam na lega
pyaar kiya to yoonhi jalega
tadpega aur royega

hum to hain pathhar ke insaan
hum to yeh dukh seh gaye

The song “Aise Toote Taar Ke Mere Geet Adhure Reh Gaye” by Shewan Rizvi in Ram Ganguly’s ‘Gawaiyya’ (1954)

e. aane se tere pahle aata hai ek ishaaraa
sooraj se pahle jaise ek roshni ki dhaaraa
hamne wahi ishaaraa dil mein basaa liyaa hai

Rajinder Krishan wrote these lines in the song “Tere Raaste Pe Hamne Ek Ghar Banaa Liya Hai” in the 1954 film ‘Kavi’. Fast paced romantic numbers were not exactly his forte, but Talat Saab comes up with excellent rendition in his indelible voice for this duet with Lata.

f. duniya mujhe dhoondhe,
magar mera nishaan koyi na ho

and

chalna hai sab se door-door
ab caravan koyi na ho

Majrooh Saab’s lyrics for the song “Ae Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal” in the film Aarzoo (1950).

I have taken just a small sample of a few lines of only five lyricists just to showcase the amazing blend of the voice and the thoughts of the poets. Such couplets and verses from various songs of Talat Mahmood are my personal favourites.

Coming to today’s song and celebrating the centenary yearr of the silken voice, I have selected this solo from the film ‘Bindiya’ (1955).

The film has ten songs in all, and two solos in the voice of Talat Saab. One solo – “Hai Dil Mein Milan Ki Aas” is already posted on the blog. The music is composed by Snehal Bhatkar, The ten songs are written by Arsh Haideri, Bharat Vyas and SH Bihari. Both solos of Talat Saab are from the pen of SH Bihari.

On our blog, 401 songs carrying the voice of Talat Sb are showcased. This song is 402th offering of his rendition in the blog.

Talat Mahmood Saab, a hundred years and a perpetual legacy of a voice that is distinctive and a class apart.

Editor’s Note: This Talat Mehmood tribute article post on his birth centenary year is the 18300th post in the blog. With this post, the blog achieves yet another century milestone. We take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continuous support and encouragement. Here is hoping that this musical bandwagon will keep rolling on and on and we will keep reaching many more milestones in the days to come.

This article is the 17800th song post in the blog.

Blog Day :

5426 Post No. : 17800

From this new year 2023, we made a couple of new year resolutions. Unlike most new year resolutions, we have so far stuck to them. One resolution was, we will have a blog Century post every month. Second resolution was we will have 100 songs every month.

We are nearly halfway into the year 2023. When the year 2022 ended, we had exactly 17300 song posts in the blog. Today (27 May 2023), nearly five months later, we are onto post number 17800 !

Yes, this post marks, 178th century post for the blog that is song post number 17800 for the blog ! So we are now quite close to the magic number of 18000 songs in the blog !

Most songs that we are covering non a days fall into certain predictable categories. One is Blog Ten Year Challenge songs, where lyrics are typically sent by Prakashchandra. In these posts, we look at the songs that were covered on the same date ten years ago. We then cover a song from movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore their songs are available for discussion.

Other categories of songs are those that are written by Avinash Scrapwala. These songs either introduce new movies, or they are less heard songs of 1970s or 1980s. Then we also have articles by our senior contributors M/s Arunkumar Deshmukh and Sadanand Kamath. Peevesie’s mom sends articles that typically combine two or more anniversaries of artists. Then on rare occasions, we are pleasantly surprised to find long interesting articles by Sudhir jee.

I too would like to write a few long articles. But the resolutions of one blog century every month and 100 plus songs every month takes up considerable toll on me and I am unable to find quality time that is required for long articles that need time. Still I managed to write one long article (on World Happinees Rankings) that gave me considerable satisfaction. It was followed by an article on World Donkey Day. I wonder how I used to find time for such articles fairly frequently in the past. It is very essential that I regain that lost form and write such articles that give me satisfaction. Now that I have achieved the target of Blog Century post for this month, and the monthly century post too is within striking distance, I should write at least one such article. So I hope to come up with another long article on a topic that we all are familiar with still we lack indepth knowledge on the topic. Hopefully this article that I am planning will be as well received as my article on world Happiness rankings.

As is my wont, these days I decide on the century song at the last moment. When the blog reached nervous ninetees a couple of days ago, I began to wonder what song to go for. I looked at various landmarks of artists, various anniversaries etc. Finally I zeroed in to an individual landmark. I found that an artist was reaching his century mark in the blog. No, not the maiden century but what would be his final century in the blog keeping in view the total number of songs that he has sung in his career.

The artist was three songs short of the century. When I started searching for songs by him, I realised that searching for his not yet posted songs wss a tall order, seeing that most of his songs are already covered in the blog. Finally I managed to locate three songs. The song that I decided to use as the century song was certainly a fit song for the occasion, but somehow I was not satisfied with the choice. Then I came across another song. This song was a bit unusual and less known song. I had never heard this song before. So hopefully most music lovers too may find this song a “never heard” song. Moreover, it is a rather unusual genre of song for this artist. That is what makes this song special.

The artist is Talat Mehmood. He sang a little over 450 songs in his career. This post introduces his 400th song in the blog.

When one thinks of Talat Mehmood, one typically thinks of a ghazal sung in a soothing velvety voice. This song is sung in a soothing velvety voice but it is not a ghazal. Surprise surprise, it is a bhajan ! Here Talat Mehmood is singing the praises of Lord Ram. This bhajan is being sung by Lord Hanuman in the movie !

The movie is “Lanka Dahan”(1952). “Lanka Dahan”(1952) was produced by Mohanlal Vahay (?) and directed by Raja Nene for Rani Productions, Bombay. The movie had Ranjana, Paro, Sapru, Ranjeet Kumari, Vijay Bali, Brij Kumar, Leela Gupte, Usha Marathe (Usha Kiran), S K Singh, Bachchalal Patel, Gadadhar Sharma, Bhujbal Singh, Battu, Minni etc in it.

This mythological film based on Ramayana had eight songs in it. One song has been covered in the past. Here is the second song from “Lanka Dahan”(1952). This song, a forgotten gem is sung by Talat Mehmood. S P Kalla is the lyricist. Music is composed by Hansraj Bahl.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

With this song, the blog now has 17800 songs and Talat Mehmood now has 400 songs in the blog. Talat Mehmood now has just over 50 more songs to go in the blog.

I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued and sustained support and encouragement which has enabled this musical bandwagon to keep going on and hope. Here is hoping that this musical bandwagon will continue to roll and we will keep reaching many more destinations during this journey, and will continue to discover many musical gems along the way.

Thinking of musical gems, here is one such musical gem. Let us enjoy and savour this lovely bhajan.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post I present a song from the movie “Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953”.
When I came across this movie while browsing the blog I realised that I had heard about the movie, but I had not listened to any songs from this movie.

When I checked for the songs of this movie from HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960), I noticed that it has as many as sixteen songs in it. I also discovered that it had two songs sung by Talat Mahmood which were yet to be represented on the blog. Fortunately these songs are available on the internet. So, today, I present one of the Talat Mahmood songs from this movie.

“Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953” had made its debut on the blog on 09.11.2013 when our respected Shri Arunkumar ji had presented its song ‘bol mukund madhav jai ghanshyaam’.

Two more songs from this movie were posted after that.

“Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953” was directed by Vijay Bhatt for ‘Prakash Pictures, Bombay’. It was a ‘devotional genre’ (or ‘bhakti pradhaan) movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 03.12.1953.

The cast of this movie included Bharat Bhushan, Ameeta, Durga Khote, Kanhaiyya Lal, B.M. Vyas, Krishnakumari, Sulochana Chatterjee, Rai Mohan, Madan Puri, Ram Mohan, Umakant, Kamlakant, Pinakin Shah, Shravankumar, Gadadhar Sharma, Kusum, Rajkumar, Narbada Shankar, Tribhuvan Sinha, Kamlesh Thakkar, Narendra, Bhimji Bhai, Balwant Loban, Radheshyam Sharma, Sitaram, Tikaram, Athawale, Ramesh and others.

Here is the story of this movie which Shri Arunkumar ji described while covering a song of this movie:-

It happened in the fifteenth Century. . The tyranny of the rulers, the hypocrisy of the priests, the meaningless austerity of the pedantic Pandits who had turned away from God and the apathy of the rich towards the poor – all combined together to create a chaos in the midst of which the soul of the country prayed for a Messiah. And a Messiah was born in the house of Jagannath Misra, in the year 1486, on the night of Lunar eclipse when the sky was rent up with the sacred name of Hari. Chaitanya was that Messiah. . After the death of eight children, Biswarup was the ninth son and Chaitanya was the tenth issue. . He was named as Vishwambhar but was called by his mother Sachi Devi as Nimai, whereas the neighbours used to call him Gouranga because he was extremely fair-looking. Nimai was very wild in his childhood and resembled very much the boy Krishna.

As Nimai grew up the economic condition of the family became very bad. Kalipada Basu, the money-lending neighbour, began to press hard for his dues. He was an evil-minded man who was associated with a low- spirited Tantrik named Bhairabananda and used to blaspheme and belittle the Vaishnavas. Nimai became young and completed his education only to lose his father for ever. He earned reputation as a Pandit, won the love of all for his sacrificing, loving nature and his devotion to God. Kalipada tried to occupy his house but failed.

Nimai started a school of his own. A career being settled Nimai was now married to Vishnupriya, daughter of the Court-Pandit Sanatan Misra. The death anniversary of his father approached and Nimai went to Gaya. After having a darshan of the Vishnu-Pada-Padma in the temple and after listening to the Krishna-Leela from a Sadhu named Iswarpuri, Nimai fainted. The power that was so long waiting and lying dormant in him now broke up. Thereafter he seemed a changed man. He was lost as a husband to Vishnupriya, lost as a son to Sachi Devi. He was lost IN Krishna and was all the time crying.
Thereafter he changed totally to Krishna Bhakti. He started many keertan schools and hundreds of people became his followers. He did lot of miracles too.
He converted the local Qazi to Krishna bhakti, who had come to convert him to Islam. Chaitanya travelled to Puri and from there toured South India, up to Cape Comarin (Kanyakumari), winning many learned scholars to his following.

He came back to Puri and after 18 years in Puri, one day simply disappeared with his soul and body, while doing keertan.

Today’s song is the fourth song from this movie. This song is sung by Talat Mahmood. It is a very nice soothing song to listen to. Only audio of the song is available.

Lyrics are by Bharat Vyas and music is composed by R.C. Boral.

Let us listen to the song now…

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

Today 09th May’2023 is the ‘twenty-fifth’ ‘Remembrance Anniversary of the legendary singer and actor Talat Mahmood.

He was born on 24th February’1924 and he passed away on 9th May’1998.

As per this blog statistics Talat Mahmood has sung around 450 songs for Hindi Films.

I am big fan of Talat Mahmood and today as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Ghamand-1955’ which is a solo song sung by Talat Mahmood.

The today’s song is the only song that Talat Mahmood has sung for this movie ‘Ghamand-1955’.

“Ghamand-1955” was directed by Deepak Asha for ‘Kirtan Pictures, Bombay’. It was produced by Rijhumal Sewaram. It had Shyama, Sheela Ramani, Rajkumar, Kamal Mehra, Ramlal, Seeta Bose, Mohini, Manjeet Kumari, Shakeel, Thakur, Ishwar, Bajaj, Jaani, Murad and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 15.01.1955.

“Ghamand-1955” has ten songs which were shared among five lyricist viz. Naqsh (Lyallpuri?), Uddhav Kumar, Kaif, Naazi, P. Ziya(details given below).

Music for this movie was composed by Gulshan Soofi.

Here is the list of songs from this movie.

SNo Song Title Lyricist Singer/s Posted On

Only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog so far.

This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time, as no video for the movie or its songs seems to be available on internet.

As mentioned above today I present a song sung by Talat Mahmood from this movie which is written by P. Ziya. (I guess that the lyricist is making his debut on the blog. Knowledgeable readers can throw more light on this. The audio link of ‘saregama’ for this song mentioned the lyricist name as Ziya Sarhadi (?). )

Let us now listen to the song…

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

I have been mentioning in my earlier write-ups that even though we are regularly adding songs from the yesteryear on the blog, there are still many hidden gems that need to be brought here on the blog. When one comes across such gems, one is surprised why such songs or such movies were still left unrepresented. We still have a vast treasure-trove that is yet to be un-earthed.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Swaami Vivekanand-1955’.

This movie was launched on the blog on 14.10.2011 with its song ‘choor karo choor karo abhimaan ko mere choor karo’. This song remains the only song from the movie in the blog.. The movie even missed getting covered during its ‘blog ten-year challenge’ date.

Today, we present the second song from this movie here on the blog.

“Swaami Vivekanand-1955” was directed by Amar Mallick for ‘Amar Mallick Productions’. It was produced by Bharati Devi & Phani Malick.

This movie had Ajit Prakash, Bharati Devi, Manoranjan Bhattacharya, Suprava Mukherjee, Anuva Gupta, Uddalak Chatterjee and others.

‘Swaami Vivekanand-1955’ was passed by Censor Board on 17.02.1955.

Here is a brief about this movie mentioned by our in-house encyclopedia Shri Arunkumar ji in his comments on the blog on the first song from this movie.

SWAMI VIVEKANAND (1955), a Amar Malik Production film, it was produced by Bharati Devi and Phani Malik and directed by Amar Malik.
This film was made in Hindi and Bengali at the same time and for Hindi version the Dialogues were by Pandit Bhushan. The entire film was in pure Hindi and partly this was a minus point for the film. Even in Bengali, people complained that, very old and pure Bengali language was used.
I had seen this movie, as I was and am an admirer of this great soul.
The main role of S. Vivekananda was done by Ajit Prakash and his mother’s role was done by Bharati Devi. She had played a major role in Narendra’s life before he became Vivekanand. Ramkrishna Paramhans’s role was played by Manoranjan Bhattacharya.
In the film, major events of Vivekananda’s life were covered, like, his early years, meeting with Ramkrishna, his turn around to Bhakti marg, going to America, with help from Maharaja of Khetri, his famous speech at the Parliament of Religions, Chicago in 1893,visit to London, Bhagini Nivedita’s induction, few speeches and his Maha Nirvan on 4-7-1902.
There were 2 lyricists, Shankar Sen and Tandon Jodhpuri.
I feel it was not a movie for entertainment but for bringing Vivekananda’s life to common people to inspire them.

As mentioned above this movie has six songs. Three songs were written by Shankar Sen, two songs by Tandon Jodhpuri and one song is a traditional Surdas bhajan.

As per information given in HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) Talat Mahmood, Mohd Rafi, Hemant Kumar and Sandhya Mukherjee had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Today we listen to the second song from this movie. It is sung by Talat Mahmood.

Lyrics are by Shankar Sen and music is composed by R.C. Boral.

Only the audio of this song is available. I have not been able to note the correct words at a couple of places. I would request knowledgeable readers to please help to provide the correct words there.

Let us now listen to this song.


Song-Man chalo nij niketan mein (Swaami Vivekanand)(1955) Singer-Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Shankar Sen, MD-R C Boral

Lyrics

Ten years back on this date viz on 8th October 2012, eight songs from eight different movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 168 # Missing Films of 1972 – 16#
——————————————

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shaayar-e-Kashmir Mahjoor’.

I had never read or heard about this movie earlier till I become aware of this in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980). It seems to be an obscure movie and very less information about it is available so far. Luckily though few of its songs have been uploaded by music lovers and I sincerely express my gratitude towards them.

‘Shaayar-e-Kashmir Mahjoor’ was directed by Prabhat Mukherji. It seems that Prabhat Mukherji was also the producer of this movie, as HFGK mentions the production company as Prabhat Mukherji (Producer, Calcutta).

The star cast of the movie is listed as Balraj Sahni, Ajay Sahni (Parikshit Sahni), Miss Kaul, Kalpana Sahni, Pran Kishore Kaul, Badgami, Raja Hamid, Kishori Kaul, Rajani Gupta, Gitanjali Desai, Shazda Zameer Ahmed, Ghulam Muhammad Pandit, Ghulam Muhammad Sufi, Krishna Pandit, Zehar Rai, and others. It was passed by Censor Board on 24.08.1972.

Here is brief about this movie which is mentioned on its song-link on YouTube by the uploader of the today’s song.

Mahjoor (Peerzada Ghulam Ahmad) was a poetic legend in the valley of Kashmir, known for his revolutionary poetry of 20th Century, Unfortunately, not much documented and heard beyond the valley. Balraj Sahni was amazed with the popularity of the poet in the region and decided to document the poet’s life on celluloid in mid 60s. He opted his son Parikshit to play the role of the poet in biopic, while he himself played father of Mahjoor. The music was given by Prem Dhawan with songs penned by Kaifi Azmi & Prem Dhawan (a few translations of Mahjoor’s works). The bilingual film directed by Prabhat Mukherjee got delayed in making and release and could only be released in 1972. The song gives some insight, how Mahjoor was the poet & the VOICE of the folk, the common people of the valley with his images, and characters from common walks of life.

As per HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) this movie had ten songs written by two songwriters – six songs by Prem Dhawan and three songs by Kaifi Azmi. One song is a traditional and famous ghazal penned by Mirza Ghalib. Though HFGK mentions Prem Dhawan’s name for six songs it does not mention Kaifi Azmi’s name for the remaining four songs. However, for lyricists of the movie the credit is given to both.

The list of songs in this movie is as given below (as provided in HFGK).

Sl. No.  Song Title Singer/s Lyricist
01 Phir Mujhe Deed-Ay-Tar Mahendra Kapoor Ghalib
02 Aaja Aaja O Mere Dilbar Usha Mangeshkar, chorus
03 Chaman Waale Mahendra Kapoor, chorus
04 Aazaadi Hamaare Ghar Aayi Mahendra Kapoor, chorus
05 Subah Ki Hansmukh Dulhan Manna Dey, chorus Prem Dhawan
06 O Kheton Ki Shahazaadi Talat Mehmood Prem Dhawan
07 Maine Naye-Naye Phool Choone Usha Mangeshkar Prem Dhawan
08 Ruk Jaa Aaj Ki Raat Krishna Kalle, chorus Prem Dhawan
09 Tamanna Kab Se Hai Dilbar Suman Kalyanpur Prem Dhawan
10 Jaane Kab Aaoge O Dilbar Manna Dey, chorus Prem Dhawan

Today’s song is sung by Talat Mehmood. I had not listened to this song earlier and when I discovered the link for this song, I got a pleasant surprise. Besides being a song sung by Talat Mehmood it was also not posted on the blog and I got this opportunity to present it on the blog.

With the today’s song ‘Shaayar-e-Kashmir Mahjoor’makes its debut on the blog.

Let us have a look on the list of movies of 1972 alphabetically after adding the today’s movie. For brevity the list given below includes the list of movies missing on the blog and list of all movies from the last post “Is Duniya Mein Rehnewaale Sab Hon Ek Samaan” from the movie ‘Samaanta’ to today’s movie song-post.

Lyrics

o kheton ki shehzaadi
qurbaan tujh pe vaadi

qurbaan tujh pe vaadi
tu jab bhi muskura di
har phool ne dua di
har phool ne dua di ee ee
o kheton ki shehzaadi

khushboo ki tarah hardam
awaara jungalon mein
khushboo ki tarah hardam
awaara jungalon mein
kaatib ka chaand jaise
bechain baadlon mein
rangeen sabaab jitna aa aa aa
rangeen sabaab jitna
utni hi seedhi saadi
utni hi seedhi saadi
o kheton ki shehzaadi
qurbaan tujhpe vaadi

jhoomar hain motiyon ka
maathhe ka ye paseena
jhoomar hain motiyon ka
maathhe ka ye paseena
karti hai rashq tujh pe
mehlon ki har haseena
sab ki muraad lekin
sab ki muraad lekin
qismat ne naa muraadi

o kheton ki shehzaadi
qurbaan tujhpe vaadi

Blog Day:

4680 Post No. : 16360

This post is coming two days late. Talat Sb’s anniversary of passing away was two days ago (9th May). In preparation and delayed, this post remembers Talat Sb, the velvet voiced wonder who is one of the mainstays of the fond memories of the golden age of Hindi film  music – an era when melody was the queen.

A rare and opportune gathering of talented stars, singers, music makers and writers once came together at the coordinates of a place called Bombay (now Mumbai).  Fortune has a timing of its own, and blessed are those who witnessed this gathering, and also those who continue to enjoy their creations and their histrionics. An august assembly that pulled together in 1940s, it continued gathering momentum along with the fervor of the newly independent India.

But as all good things, this assembly waned and started to fade away after three decades of having held spellbound a young nation, with a full spectrum of emotional flavors. The resonance of those times still rings in the ears and flows with the wind and water of this land. The echoes still entertain, still charm and engross multiple generations of music lovers.

Introduction to Talat Sb is not necessary. But the memories are. And more importantly, it is the celebration of the memories that is essential. Celebrities and performers abound in every generation, every century. But the history remembers only them who are remembered by later generations.

Searching for a song from his earlier films, I chanced to find this one which has not yet been posted on our blog. The film is ‘Ratnadeep’ from 1952. As I check the lists, I find that the film has 8 songs listed in the Geet Kosh. Of these, 5 songs are already showcased on our blog. Talat Sb has sung three songs for this film. Two are duets with Geeta Dutt, and one solo. The two duets are already present here. I bring on the solo song of Talat Sb today.

The film ‘Ratnadeep’ is a production of Chitramaya, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and is produced and directed by Debaki Kumar Bose.  The film is based on the famous novel of same name by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay (1873-1932). Prabhat Kumar was a barrister by profession and later a professor of law at University of Calcutta. He started writing while still studying at school, and his poems were published in Bangla magazines. He became famous for his short stories which looked at life using a light-hearted lens. As an author he has published more than 100 short stories and 14 novels. ‘Ratnadeep’ is the most well known of his novels.

The cast of actors of this film is listed as Anuva Gupta, Manju Dey, Molina Devi, Chhaya Devi, Tangamani, Harini, Bakul Ghosh, Abhi Bhattacharya, Pahadi Sanyal, Niteesh Mukherji, Tulsi Chakravarty, Kamal Mishra, Raj Kumar Soni, Sudheer  Chakraborty, Gokul Mukherji and Gauri Shankar.

Music for this film is composed by Robin Chatterji. Two songs of this film are traditional verses, one by Vidyapati and another by Meerabai. The remaining six songs have been penned by Pt Madhur and Pran Mahendra. However, the sharing of songs between these two lyricists is not known. So the tag for lyricist is indicated as ‘Unattributed’.

This is a true vintage Talat song – the perfect voice picked by the music director to render it. The words in the song tells about unfulfilled love, expressing aspirations and longing for things that could have been. The words are lovely, and the rendition by Talat Sb touches the strings of the heart inside.

Listen and enjoy this lesser known, lesser heard wonderful song of Talat Sb.

 

Song – Agar Dil Ke Taaron Pe Main Chhed Sakta (Ratnadeep) (1952) Singer – Talat Mehmood, Lyrics – [Unattributed], MD – Robin Chatterjee

Lyrics

agar dil ke taaron pe
main chhed sakta
nai zindagi ka naya sa taraana
agar dil ke taaron pe

na manzil ki chaahat
mere dil mein hoti
na manzil ki chaahat
mere dil mein hoti
meri pyaas ulfat ke
naghmon mein khoti
mere naqsh e paa hi
mere naqsh e paa hi
bataate thikaana
agar dil ke taaron pe

main lehron ke haa..aathon mein
patwaar de kar
jo baste hain dil mein
unhen saath le kar
bahut door saahil se
le jaata kashti
na wo rehte wo
aur na main meri hasti
na wo rehte wo
aur na main meri hasti
magar haa..aaye
adhoora rahega apna fasaana
nai zindagi ka naya sa taraana
nai zindagi ka naya sa taraana
agar dil ke taaron pe

Hindi Script Lyrics

अगर दिल के तारों पे
मैं छेड़ सकता
नई ज़िंदगी का नया सा तराना
अगर दिल के तारों पे

ना मंज़िल की चाहत
मेरे दिल में होती
ना मंज़िल की चाहत
मेरे दिल में होती
मेरी प्यास उलफत के
नग़मों में खोती
मेरे नक़्श ए पा ही
मेरे नक़्श ए पा ही
बताते ठिकाना
अगर दिल के तारों पे

मैं लहरों के हा॰॰थों में
पतवार दे कर
जो बसते हैं दिल में
उन्हें साथ लेकर
बहुत दूर साहिल से
ले जाता कश्ती
ना वो रहते वो
और ना मैं मेरी हस्ती
ना वो रहते वो
और ना मैं मेरी हस्ती
मगर हा॰॰य
अधूरा रहेगा अपना फसाना
नई ज़िंदगी का नया सा तराना
नई ज़िंदगी का नया सा तराना
अगर दिल के तारों पे

“Paataal Bhairavi”(1952) was a remake/ dubbing of a blockbuster Telugu movie of the same name. This movie was produced by B Nag Reddy and Chakrapani and directed by K V Reddy for Vijaya Vauhini Productions, Madras. The producers were the same people who were also behind the publication of the popular Children’s magazine “Chandamama”, which was published in many languages of India.

The movie had N T Rama Rao, S V Ranga Rao, C S R Relangi, Balakrishnan, Padmnabhan, Malti, T G Kamla, Laxmikantham, Hemaltamma Rao, Girija, Surbhi Kamala, Chitti etc in it.

The movie had nine songs in it. Three songs have been cobvered in the past.

Here is the fourth song from “Paataal Bhairavi”(1952) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Talat Mehmood. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ghantsala.

The song is picturised as a background song in the movie.

I am unable to identify the actors who are seen in the picturisation. I request our knowledgeable readrs to help identify them.


Song-Prem panthh ko chala musaafir ban kar deewaana(Paataal Bhairavi)(1952) Singer-Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Pt Indra Chandra, MD-Ghantsala

Lyrics

Prem panthh ko chala musaafir
ban kar deewaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana
Prem panthh ko chala musaafir
ban kar deewaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana
kathhin dagariya door nagariya
sambhal sambhal kar jaana
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa
aa aa
kathhin dagariya door nagariya
sambhal sambhal kar jaana
laagi najariya baali umariya
na jaana pahchaana
Prem panthh ko chala musaafir
ban kar deewaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana

pyaar bhara hai dil maata ka
usko na bisraana
pyaar bhara hai dil maata ka
usko na bisraana
koi na apna sangi saathhi
saara desh begaana
Prem panthh ko chala musaafir
ban kar deewaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana

rang bhari dulhan ki aahen
dil ka dard na jaana
rang bhari dulhan ki aahen
dil ka dard na jaana
rahi tadapti shama akeli
roothh chala parwaana
Prem panthh ko chala musaafir
ban kar deewaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana
musaafir ban kar mastaana
