Though I have not kept track of it, I have a feeling that most songs picturised on Shammi Kapoor (in his Shammi Kapoor style movies) have been covered in this blog. I need to put all these songs in some proper tags so that keeping track of them becomes easier.

In this post I present a qawwaali written by Sahir Saab. In the string of qawwaalis, I had some time back posted the iconic qawwaali from the film Kaala Samunder (1962), with the mukhdaa (title) “Meri Tasweer Le Kar Kyaa Karogey Tum” . There is one more qawwaali from the same film, not as well known, and is somewhat rare and obscure. But then, bless this YouTube that I am able to trace this qawwaali finally.

In Hindi movies, most activities are carried out according to a set piece pattern, and that included songs as well. Teasing songs, romantic songs, expression of love song, all of them seem to follow some well laid down guidelines.

I apologize to the readers if they feel that I seem to be stuck in the second half of 60s, while I am selecting songs from Usha Khanna’s films. It seems to be true. Hard as I may try, I am not able to extricate myself from the films of the years from 1966 to 1970. And the reason is that I simply keep bumping into one wonderful gem after another, and the music itself compels me to continue writing about this era of Usha ji’s career. From all counts that I can admit so far, the 60s was the most prolific and the also the most tuneful decade for this composer.
