Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.102
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (30 April 2013), five songs from five different movies (plus one Non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |

We observe that three movies (out of five) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with two unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (30 April 2023).
“Nishaan”(1949) is one of the two unYIPPEED movies for today’s BTYC.
“Nishaan”(1949) was produced and directed by S S Wasan for Gemini Pictures, Madras. The movie had Bhanumati (as Ranjana), Ranjan (as Vijay Singh and Vikram Singh), R.Nagendra Rao (as Zorawar Singh), J.S.Casshyap (as Doctor Shanker), Maya Banerji (as Neelam), Balkrishna Kalla (as Madho Singh), M.S.Sengar (as Chandan), Suryaprabha (as Al Beli), Narayan Rao as (Zorawar`s Valet ), Ramakrishana Rao (as Messenger), D.Bal Subramanyam (as Mahendra Singh), V.P.S.Mani (as Himmat), G.Pattu Iyer (as Raj Sekhar), Venkatamba (As Mahendra Singh`s wife), Krishna Bai (as Doctor`s sister), Shyam Sunder (as doctor`s brother in law), Vijay rao ,Anand, Sampat Kumar (as Zorawar`s Soldiers), I.M.Ram , Y.S.S.Rao (as Mahendra Singh`s Soldiers), M.K.Radha etc in it.
“Nishaan”(1949) had 8 songs in it. Five songs have been covered in the blog so far.
Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali and Moti. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by B K Kalla. The song is picturised as a stage dance song which is watched by a houseful crowd as was the case in all stage dance performance picturisations of those days.
Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra. Audio and video versions differ from each other in some lines. The two versions are clubbed together in the lyrics provided below..

#the Decade of Fourties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Romeo And Juliet-1947’.
‘Romeo And Juliet-1947’ was directed by Akhtar Hussaain for ‘Nargis Art Concern, Bombay’ (home production of actress Nargis). It had Nargis, Sapru, Anwar Hussain, Sunalini Devi, Nisar, John Cavas, Hameed Murad, Nazir Kashmiri, Violet, Pushpa, Abdul Rasheed, Amanullah and others.
This movie has eight songs in it penned by five lyricists as per details given below.
| S.No. | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Mast jawaani aayi mast jawaani aayi | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Zohrabai Ambalewali | 28.12.2020 |
| 02 | Mausam ye suhaanaa, ahaa ahaa | Manohar Khanna | Zohrabai Ambalewali | 26.07.2017 |

| 06 | Kya bataayen ishq zaalim | Jigar Moradabadi | Zohrabai Ambalewali | 08.06.2022 |
| 07 | Wo yaad aa rahe hain, laaye unhe kahaan se *not mentioned in HFGK Vol-II |

| 08 | Donon jahaan teri muhabbat mein haar ke | Faiz Ahmed Faiz | Khayyam, Zohrabai Ambalewali | 12.08.2014 |
From the above table we can see that out of the eight songs in this movie, Manohar Khanna was the lyricist for three songs.
One song each was written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, Akhtar Shirani, Jigar Moradabadi and Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
Lyricist’s name for one song is not mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950).
Today’s song is the seventh song from this movie being presented on the blog. It is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali.
Lyrics of the song are by Manohar Khanna. Music is composed by Husnlal Bhagatram.
Today’s song is a beautiful ‘falling in love’ category song and it is a nice song to listen to …
With this song we bring ‘Romeo And Juliet-1947’ at the door-step of ‘Yippeeee-land’ and will be saying ‘Yippeeee’ to this movie soon 🙂
Till then enjoy this song …

#the Decade of Fourties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
In this post I once again present a song from the year ‘1947’. Ever since I became aware that in this year ‘1947’ there were maximum number of movies released in a single year, and this record was only broken in the year ‘1985’ (reference Shri Arunkumar ji’s post on the blog) I have become curious to go through the songs of ‘1947. And also try to bring more from ‘1947’ on the blog.
That also gives me an opportunity to listen to songs which I have not listened to so far or refresh my memory for the songs those I have heard earlier and those I am familiar with earlier.
In this post, I am presenting a song from the ‘1947’ movie ‘EK Kadam’.
One song from this movie has already been posted on the blog earlier on 14.12.2017.
I am reproducing the text below about this movie and its songs which Atul ji has mentioned while presenting the first song from this movie on the blog.
“Ek Kadam”(1947) was directed by Ramnik Desai for ‘Sunrich Productions, Bombay’. This “social “movie had Damyanti Sahni, Ansari, Raj Kachlu, Gayatri, Baburao etc in it. Neither the movie nor the actors ring any bells. That is how obscure this movie is.
Even the numbers of songs in this movie are not known. HFGK lists six songs and leaves blanks indicating that the movie had other songs as well whose details are not known.
I am adding below the detail of the six songs that HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) has mentioned for this movie.
Mohd Rafi
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Chalo biraadaro chalo | Various artistes |
| 02 | Kaate naa kate re mora dinwaa | Kusum Mantri, Zohrabai Ambalewali |
| 03 | Ek kadam aur ek kadam | Shamshad Begum |
| 04 | Tub hi rah main bhi | Shamshad Begum |
| 05 | Panchhi bhool gaya wo gaana | Shamshad Begum |
| 06 | Ab phir se, phir phir se yaad aaye kyun | Shamshad Begum |
As mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) the lyricist for this movie was Avtar Visharad and music for this movie was composed by Prakash Nath Sharma.
Today’s song is sung by Kusum Mantri and Zohrabai Ambalewali.
The song is a nice song wherein the girl is expressing her feelings to her saheli and telling how she is excited about the ‘piya-milan’.
Only the audio of this song is available.

Today’s song is from the film Hip Hip Hurray-1948.
How many of us really know what ” Hip Hip Hurray ” means in reality ? I am sure all of us have used this slogan several times during our school and college days, whenever we were celebrating a victory of our team over the rivals or someone had earned a coveted Reward or an Honour from the authorities. I have used it many times myself, as a victory slogan etc. That was not an age when we cared for the dictionary meaning of popular words or phrases like this one. The colloquial meaning was sufficient for us.
Out of curiosity, I checked a few English dictionaries like the Oxford and the Concise Cambridge dictionary. I found that ” HHH ‘ is a cheer slogan called out to express congratulations towards someone or something. It also denoted appreciation and approval of a victory. ” So much for the meaning of this phrase !
I could not find the story of this film, despite my efforts. There was another film made in 1984 with the same title. That film was based on an Inter-Collegiate Football competition, with a background of a love story of Raj Kiran and Dipti Naval. Then there was also a TV serial, with the same title. It ran from 21-8-1998 to 25-5-2001, with 80 episodes, followed by its second season with 45 episodes , after 15 years.
Anyway, the film Hip Hip Hurray-1948 was produced by Navin Yagnik and Hari Kashmiri, for the banner ‘ Kashmir Films’. The film was directed by Arvind Sen. He had earlier acted in 2 films-Doctor-1940 and Devdasi-1945. Hip Hip Hurray -1948 was his Debut film as a director and he went on to direct another 10 films till Nasihat (1986). His 2 films Muqaddar-(1950) and Kafila-(1952) became successful. They had excellent music also.
The film’s Music Director was Pt. Hanuman Prasad. The name Hanuman Prasad paints a picture of a Pehelwan playing kushti in an akhaada. Guru Hanuman and his akhaada in North India were quite famous. In the late 50s and 60s,there were many Wrestling Championships played in India. Many Pehelwans from other countries also came here to participate. Through these bouts the name of Dara Singh became very famous and later he appeared in Hindi films. The name Hanuman rekindles memories of that era.
However, one would be reasonably surprised if I tell that Pt. Hanuman Prasad ( Sharma/Triloki) was a well known Hindi Film Music Director in the 40s and 50s. Hanuman Prasad was a complete musical package, in the sense that he composed, wrote lyrics ( Gaali, Jasoos, Saudagar and Rasilee) and sung a song also in film( Rasili)-as Sharma. He even directed the film Rasilee-46. Geeta Dutt fans will remember him as the one who discovered her and gave her the first break in Playback singing in Hindi films in 1946.
There were 2 lyricists for 9 songs (actually 11 songs). The 9th song had 3 parts on 2 different records. It was sung by different singers). However, HFGK failed to credit every song with its lyricist’s name. The cast of the film was Balwant Singh, Navin Yagnik, Nirupa Roy, Mangala, Prabhu Dayal, Kumkum, Gulab etc. and a battery of comedians like Dikshit, Bhudo Advani, Radha Kishen and Gope.
Balwant Singh was an actor and a singer. He had no song in this film and from the film ‘Apni chhaya’-1950, with Mohd. Rafi giving him the playback, his singing came to a close.
BALWANT SINGH was born in Pandoga village of Hoshiarpur on 9-12-1918 in a Jahagirdar’s family. He was quite rich. After a training from Pt. Bhishmadev in classical music, he came to Bombay and joined Bombay Talkies at the age of 18 years. He first gave Playback in Jeevan Prabhat-37.In Nirmala-38 he acted and also sang a song. Then came Durga-39 where also he acted and sang. V. Shantaram cast him in Padosi-41 and his songs in this film were hits.
He was Hero in Darpan (1941),Swapna (1942),Malan (1943),Naukar (1943),Paraya Dhan (1943), Ashirwaad (1943), Collegian (1944), Dr.Kumar (1944), Bhanwar (1947,Hip hip Hurray (1948) and Apni Chhaya-(1950) etc. As a hero he sang less songs. His songs with Shanta Hublikar (Malan) and Parul Ghosh and Khan Mastana (Bhanwar) were very popular. He also acted in Nirmala, Vachan and Kangan.
In all, he acted in 18 films, sang 20 songs in 10 films and also wrote 6 songs in the film Sumitra-1949.
He married a girl from the royal family of Palanpur, Gujarat. After leaving films, he worked in All India Radio for 4 years. Then he settled in Ahmedabad, directing Dramas and Teaching music. Finally, he shifted to Ludhiana where, after a long illness, he died on 4-12-1985.
When Balwant Singh worked for A.I.R., it was claimed that he was responsible for the making of the famous morning Signature Tune of the A.I.R., and despite all presentations to several authorities, he was not given the credit for this. His son also claimed this in his interview given to our friend Shishir Krishna Sharma, for his Blog ” Beete hue din”. When I read his interview on the Blog and the You Tube, I wrote to Sharma ji, pointing out to him that this tune was made by the German refugee in India- Walter Kaufmann and NOT Balwant Singh. My E Mail dated 21-4-2021, to him is given here….
Dear Sharma ji,
I visited YouTube and heard your presentation.
I have also read what is written in your post about Balwant Singh on your Blog.
I would like to bring to your notice that it seems this Signature Tune of A.I.R. was NOT made by Balwant Singh,
but by one Walter Kaufmann, when he worked for All India Radio from 1934 to 1946.
There is a book ” THE MUSIC THAT STILL RINGS AT DAWN, EVERY DAWN”
Walter Kauffmann in India, 1934 – 1946
Author – Amrit Gangar
Published by Goethe Institut, Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai. 2013Chapter 3 in this book is THE ALL INDIA RADIO, on page 36.
In this chapter it has been given in detail, with proofs in terms of several letters etc about the signature tune made by him for A.I.R.
There is an interview of the son of Dinkar Amembel, station Director, Bombay AIR, who says that Dinkar had played the Tanpura and
Mehli Mehta played the Violin.I have this book, gifted to me by the author.
When you come back to Mumbai, you can visit me and see the book entries yourself.
I am fully convinced that the tune was done by Walter Kaufmann only.
It is possible that that is the reason why Balwant Singh’s claim was not entertained ever !
However, for whatever reasons, the said point was neither removed from his Blog nor the YouTube presentation.
Today’s song is sung by 4 singers namely, Geeta Roy, Zohrabai Amabalawali, G.M. Durani and Shamshad Begum. It is a good song. Enjoy….

“Romeo And Juliet-1947” was directed by Akhtar Hussaain for ‘Nargis Art Concern, Bombay’ (home production of actress Nargis). It had Nargis, Sapru, Anwar Hussain, Sunalini Devi, Nisar, John Cavas, Hameed Murad, Nazir Kashmiri, Violet, Pushpa, Abdul Rasheed, Amanullah and others.
This movie had eight songs as listed below;
| S.No. | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Mast jawaani aayi mast jawaani aayi | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Zohrabai Ambalewali | 28.12.2020 |
| 02 | Mausam ye suhaanaa, ahaa ahaa | Manohar Khanna | Zohrabai Ambalewali | 26.07.2017 |
| 03 | Tumhe sitaaron ne be-akhtiyaar dekha | Akhtar Shirani | G.M. Durrani | 21.09.2014 |
| 04 | Koyi dil mein samaaya jaaye | Manohar Khanna | Zohrabai Ambalewali | |
| 05 | Kisko khabar thi, dil ki ye duniya | Manohar Khanna | ||
| 06 | Kya bataayen ishq zaalim | Jigar Moradabadi | Zohrabai Ambalewali | |
| 07 | Wo yaad aa rahen hai, laaye unhe kahaan se | Majrooh Sultanpuri | G.M.Durrani | |
| 08 | Donon jahaan teri muhabbat mein haar ke | Faiz Ahmed Faiz | Khayyam, Zohrabai Ambalewali | 12.08.2014 |
We can see from above that four songs of this movie have been posted on the blog so far.
This movie had made its debut on the blog on 12.08.2014 with a song sung by Khayyam Saab and Zohrabai Ambalewali.
The second song from this movie followed immediately in next month and it was posted on 21.09.2014 which was sung by G.M. Durrani.
Thereafter it was a gap of almost three years after which the third song from this movie was posted on 26.07.2017. This song was a solo song sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali.
The fourth song from this movie again took more than three years to appear on the blog, and it was posted on 28.12.2020. This song again was a solo sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali.
Out of the eight songs, Manohar Khanna is the lyricist for three songs. Two songs are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the remaining three songs are written by Akhtar Shirani, Jigar Moradabadi and Faiz Ahmed Faiz – one song each.
Incidentally, the four songs that are already coveredon the blog are written by four different lyricists viz. Majrooh Sultanpuri, Manohar Khanna, Akhtar Shirani and Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
That leaves us four songs from the movie that yet to be posted. They are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri (one song), Manohar Khanna (two songs) and Jigar Moradabadi (one song).
Here I am presenting the fifth song from this movie. It is a solo song sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali. Jigar Moradabadi is the lyricist.
Jigar Moradabadi (born on 06.04.1890 and passed away on 09.09.1960) was a prominent Urdu Poet of yesteryears.
Here is a brief information about his biography written by our respected Shri. Sadanand ji in his post ‘sharma gaye lajaa gaye daaman chhudaa gaye’ (I am reproducing the same here so that readers can also read it here).
“Jigar Muradabadi (06/04/1890 – 09/09/1960) has been often called as ‘shaayar of beauty and love’. Jigar confined his poetry mostly covering his admiration for beauty, love, and emotions. It is said that his poetry has some influence of Daagh Dehlvi and Momin Khan Momin.
I have read through almost all of his ghazals that are available online and in Hindi (or Roman Hindi). There are no philosophical or spiritual tones in almost all of his ghazals. Likewise, I have not come across any poetry depicting the situations during the British rules though he had spent much of his life under British rule. Even if such poems do exist, perhaps they have not been well publicised. After independence also, his poetry did not venture much into the socio-economic situations in the country which had been the main plank of Urdu poets associated with PWA.Jigar says :
Unka jo farz hai wo ahl-e-siyasat jaane
Mera paighaam mohabbat hai jahaan tak pahunche
[What is their duties only politician would know.
I give the message of love wherever it reaches]As in the case of some Urdu poets like Majaaz Lucknawi, Jigar’s ghazals are a sort of his own autobiography. From 1920 to 1938, his life was captivated by alcohol and the beauty. Married at an early age, he had numerous love affairs, all of which turned out to be failures. These are all reflected in his ghazals. But unlike Majaaz who rued his failed love affairs in his poetry, Jigar can find joy even in his unfulfilled love because, for him, the experience of love itself is a joy.
It has been stated that he had a huge fan following encompassing both the elites and the masses. The respect he got cut across the religious lines. It is said that participation of Jigar Muradabadi was a sure success of a mushaira due to his poetry and the melodious renditions.
Jigar did not formally become guide to the budding young Urdu poets of his time. But he was a source of inspirations and mentors for poets like Behzad Lucknawi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shakeel Badayuni, Khumar Barabankvi etc.”
Today’s song is a melancholic song.
Let us now listen to today’s song…
Song-Kya bataayein ishq zaalim kya qayaamat dhhaaye hai(Romeo Aur Juliet)(1947) Singer-Zohrabai Ambalewaali, Lyrics-Jigar Moradabadi, MD-Husnlal Bhagatram
Lyrics
Kya bataayein
Kya bataayein ae
Ishq zaalim
Kya qayaamat dhhaaye hai
Yoon samajh lo jaise dil
Seene se niklaa jaaye hai
Jab nahin tumko tasavvur bhi
Tumhaara kya garoor
Jab nahin tumko tasavvur bhi
Tumhaara kya garoor
Is se bhi keh do ke
Ye taqleef kyun farmaaye hai ae
Is se bhi keh do ke
Ye taqleef kyun farmaaye hai
Kis taraf jaaun
Kidhar dekhoon
Kise aawaaz doon
Kis taraf jaaun
Kidhar dekhoon
Kise aawaaz doon
Ae huzoome naamuraadi
jee bahot ghabraaye hain ae
Ae huzoome naamuraadi
jee bahot ghabraaye hai
Kya bataayein ae
Ishq zaalim
Kya qayaamat dhhaaye hai

Today’s song is from the ‘Golden Years’ of ‘Hindi Film Music’. It is from the movie ‘Garibi-1949’.
I had come across this song more than seven years back and I had shared it as well however this song remains to be posted till now.
This song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali.
Regulars on the blog must be aware that I have also shared many Zohrabai Ambalewali songs as I like them very much. I had been listening to her many songs during 2013-2014 when I used to browse and listen to her songs regularly.
Today’s movie ‘Garibi’ was directed by Ramchandra Thakur. It had Geeta Bali, Jayraj, Nirupa Roy, P. Kailash, Usha Kiran, Banke Bihari, Ramesh Thakur, M.K. Hasan, Bhoopat Rai, Tarabai, Jayram, Jawahar Kaul and others.
Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our Respected Arunkumar ji in his comments on one of the song-posts of this movie
GARIBI (1949), a Ranjit movietone film had music by its contracted composer B C Rani and lyricists were Rajendra Krishna, Shevan Rizvi, B.R. Sharma and M G Adeeb.
I don’t know whether Chandulal Shah ever knew on what storylines their movies were being produced on the assembly line, because not only all 4 set-sections of Ranjit studios were always shooting some films but sometimes they used to hire the neighboring Sharda studios also.
This was one movie which eulogized the virtues of poverty (Garibi) as compared to Riches (Amiri). Geeta Bali, hailing from a poor family loves and gets married to rich Jairaj. She finds it difficult to adjust to the rich ways of her sasural, particularly Saas-Sasur (Tarabai-Bhupat Rai),while her poor mother(Nirupa Roy) and Father(P. Kailash) get poorer but they have very high ideals and come to the rescue of their rich relatives when there is a problem with their daughter(Usha Kiran),who is in trouble with her husband(Jawahar Kaul).
Having learnt that only Money cannot give happiness, the rich family respects the poor and poverty. This was a very unconvincing storyline and badly handled too. The only saving grace was its superb music.
This movie has eights songs as mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950).
Music for this movie was composed by Bulo C. Rani. Four lyricists contributed the eight songs in this movie and they are Rajinder Krishan (three songs), Shewan Rizvi (two songs), B.R. Sharma (two songs) and M.G. Adeeb (one song).
Here is the list of songs of this movie :-
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Lyricist | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Dard dil hi mein chhipaa le, muskurana seekh le | Geeta Roy | Rajinder Krishan | |
| 02 | Kisi se hamne ye poochha, muhabbat kisko kehte hain | Mohd Rafi | Rajinder Krishan | 02.11.2017 |
| 03 | Mastana nigaahon ke deewaane hazaaron hai | Shamshad Begum | Shewan Rizvi | |
| 04 | Haay ye maine kya kiya jo tumhe thukraa diya | Shamshad Begum | Rajinder Krishan | |
| 05 | Ik din ik armaan bhara dil, ulfat se do chaar huaa | Mohd Rafi | B.R. Sharma | 28.10.2011 |
| 06 | Sun mujhse ki … do roz ka jeena hai | Zohrabai Ambalewali | B.R. Sharma | |
| 07 | Dukhon mein jo muskuraa rahe thhe | Geeta Roy | Shewan Rizvi | |
| 08 | Ae saamne aane waale bataa, kyon chaand mera mujhse hai khafaa | Shamshad Begum, Mohd Rafi | M.G. Adeeb | 21.10.2011 |
From the above table we can see that three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. The first song of this movie was posted on 21.10.2011 and the second song followed a week later on 28.10.2011. However, after that this movie was forgotten and the third song of this movie appeared on the blog after a gap of almost six years.
Now, today, we are going to discuss the fourth song from this movie after a gap of another four and half years.
Today’s song is written by B.R. Sharma and it is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali. This is a nice philosophical/ motivational song and I like it very much.
Music is composed by Bulo C. Rani.
Let us now listen to today’s song …
Song-Do roz ka jeena hai jee jee ke jiye jaa (Gareebi)(1949) Singer-Zohrabai Ambalewaali, Lyrics-Butaram Sharma, MD-Bulo C Rani
Lyrics

Tu donon ki masti ko
Pehlu mein liye jaa
