“Chunariya”(1948) was directed by Ravindra Dave for Kuldeep Pictures, Bombay. Mulkraj Bhakri had written the story, dialogues, screen-play and lyrics. For all practical purposes, Mulkraj Bhakri was the producer of the movie as well, though Kuldeep Sehgal was credited as producer and Lekhraj Bhakri as production controller. Almost all persons involved in the making of this movie were displaced from Lahore during partition and this movie was their attempt to establish themselves in Bombay fil industry.
This movie had Wasti, Manorama, Pran, Randhira, Cuckoo, Narbada Shanker, Sofia, Chaand Burke,Ramesh, Sarita, Baij Sharma, Shrimati Motipal,Krishn Duggal, Menhdi Raza Raja etc in it.
The movie turned out to be a hit and that went a long way in establishing the persons in Bombay film industry.
The movie had ten songs in it. Nine songs have been covered so far. Here are the details of these songs:-
| Song | Date of posting | Singer(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Sab kuchh lutaayaa hamne aakar teri gali mein | 2 April 2011 | Rafi |
| Aankh meri lad gayi re lad gayi | 21 December 2011 | Lata Mangeshkar, Indra Goyal |
| O motor waale babu | 23 December 2011 | Geeta Dutt |
| Dil e naashaad ko jeene ki hasrat ho gayee tumse | 1 September 2012 | Lata Mangeshkar |
| Tera kaanton se pyaar | 4 February 2013 | Geeta Dutt, Rafi |
| O koi nain mila ke chala gaya | 3 April 2017 | Geeta Dutt |
| Hansi le ke aaye thhe ro kar chale | 3 August 2017 | S D Batish |
| Tere milne ko jee dhadke | 2 May 2018 | Geeta Dutt |
| Daaman se bandh gayi choli re | 11 September 2021 | Geeta Dutt |
One can notice that as many as five singers were used in the nine songs that have been covered so far. The singers were strugglers at that time. This movie saw Lata Mangeshkar singing a ghazal for the first time in Hindi movies. The Rafi Geeta Dutt duet in this movie is the oldest Rafi Geeta Dutt duet in Hindi movies that is available. Lata Mangeshkar had sung only one duet with a male singer till 1947. This year, she sang eight such duets. Her duet with Indra Goyal was her only duet with that singer.
The tenth and final song from the movie is a rare song. It would appear that very few people have actually listened to this song. HFGK mentions this song as “saawan aaya-3 re jaage more bhaag sakhi re”. The words “Saawan aaya” appear in the movie only towards the end of the song. “Jaage mora bhaag sakhi re” is not at all there. Instead, we find the opposite words, viz “Soye mora bhaag saki ree” in the song. 🙂
Listening to the song, one would classify it as a Geeta Dutt solo with chorus towards the end. But, HFGK mentions this song as sung by Geeta Dutt, Zohrabai Ambalewaali and Asha Bhonsle. HFGK also mention this song as the first Hindi film song sung by Asha Bhonsle.
If Zohrabai Ambalewaali and Asha Bhonsle have sung in this song, then that would be in the last stanza that is sung by chorus though personally I could not detect the individual voices of Zohrabai Ambalewaali and Asha Bhonsle. People with better hearing abilities may be able to detect their voices.
Nevertheless, this rare song does have the distinction of being the first Hindi movie song with Asha Bhonsle’s voice in it.
With this rare and special song, all the songs of “Chunariya”(1948)have now been covered and this movie joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.
Song-Soye more bhaag sakhi ree Saawaan aaya re (Chunariya)(1948) Singers-Geeta Dutt, Lyrics-Mulkraj Bhakri, MD-Hansraj Bahl

‘Ghunghroo’ (1952) was produced under the banner of Filmkar, owned by Rajendra Jain which had produced ‘Deedar’ (1951) and later, ‘Maan’ (1954). The film was directed by Hiren Bose. The star cast included Om Prakash, Sumitra Devi, Kuldeep Kaur, K N Singh, Murad, Badri Prasad etc. A feature of the film’s casting was that Om Prakash was the lead actor in a double role – one as a shy man and the other in a role of a lead actor in a theatre.
Om Prakash, who commenced his filmy career in a small role of a villain in his maiden film, ‘Dassi’ (1944) followed by another villain role in ‘Dhamki’ (1945), had worked in lead roles in ‘Aai Bahaar’ (1946), ‘Shahar Se Door’ (1946) and ‘Pagdandi’ (1947). However, all these three films failed at the box office and with this, his dream of becoming a lead actor was shattered. The partition in 1947 further compounded his problems for he had to start afresh his career in Hindi films in Mumbai. After remaining unemployed for a year, Om Prakash accepted whatever roles that were offered to him. In about 2 years from his first film in Mumbai – ‘Lakhpati’ (1948) in post-partition period, Om Prakash had become a busy actor doing various character roles.
Against this background, it must be a pleasant surprise for Om Prakash that after a gap of 5 years, he got not only the lead role but also a double role in ‘Ghunghroo’ (1952). But the film failed so miserably that in no time, it went into the list of obscure films. It appeared that Om Prakash was destined to become a popular actor in his various typles of character actor’s roles some of which became unforgettable like in ‘Pyaar Kiye Jaa’ (1966), ‘Padosan’ (1968), ‘Gopi’ (1970), ‘Chupke Chupke’ (1975) and many more.
Having watched Om Prakash in character roles in many films, I wish, I could have watched him as a hero in ‘Ghunghroo’ (1952). Unfortunately, the film seems to have been lost forever for viewing. A few of the lobby images available on-line featuring Om Prakash with Sumitra Devi and Kuldeep Kaur looked interesting. I have incorporated a couple of them in the video of the song which I propose to present with this write-up.
As with most of the obscure films, I could not find the story and review of ‘Ghunghroo’ (1952) on the internet, After some intense searches, I could get a synopsis of the story from one of many lesser known websites on Hindi films which appers to be copied from the film’s song-synopsis booklet because it was written in typical synopsis style language without revealing the ending of the film. From what I could gather from the synopsis, I present the gist of the story as under:
Vinod (Om Prakash) is a shy person who lives in Pune. He is in love with Hema (Sumitra Devi) but does not have enough courage to disclose to her. When he comes to know that Hema also loves him he is the happiest person.
Vinod has a twin brother, Baalam (Om Prakash) who works for a theatre in Mumbai as a lead actor. He often pairs with Kamini (Kuldip Kaur) and their pair is very popular thus making them a box office attraction. Baalam gets attracted towards Kamini and she exploits this by her false love to him to keep her popularity intact at the box office. In this way, she earns fortunes by way of gifts from royal and aristocratic visitors to the theatre.
Kamini’s exploitation game is exposed to Baalam. After a quarrel, she gets Baalam killed with the help of her accomplice, Hiralal (K N Singh). The ghost of Ballam cames out and starts taking revenge on his enemies. Baalam’s ghost also appears in Vinod’s house and enters Vinod’s body. Vinod suddenly becomes Baalam Baalam’s ghosht takes Vinod to Mumbai as Baalam. Hema followes him to Mumbai. Now starts the vicious circle of chase. Heart-broken Hema ran after Vinod who, in turn, runs for his life from Baalam. Baalam runs after Kamini for his revenge. Vinod turned Baalam is dragged by Hiralal and his goons. Thus, all of them find inyolved in a chain resulting in ‘comedy of errors’.
I have no idea as to how the film ends in reality. But in such a type of the story, the villains, K N Singh and Kuldip Kaur would be exposed and arrested with Om Prakash and Sumitra Devi united.
‘Ghunghroo’ (1952) had 9 songs, all written by Rajendra Krishan which were set to music by C Ramchandra. All the 9 songs are available which I have heard and find them melodious with typical brand of C Ramchandra’s compositions.
I am presenting the 5th song from the film, ‘dil kisi ko deejiye dil kisi kaa leejiye’ sung by Zohrabai Ambalewaali, Mohmmed Rafi and chorus. The song appears to be a part of the stage show in the film.

Today’s song is from the ‘1946’ movie ‘Sohni Mahiwal’. Regulars on the blog must have noticed my liking for ‘Zohrabai Ambalewali’ songs as I have shared her songs on the blog from time to time as and when I get an opportunity.
Though today’s song was initially noted by me almost seven years back, I am presenting it now with some more details about the total songs in this movie.
‘Sohni Mahiwal-1946’ was directed by Ishwar Lal and Ravindra Jaikar for ‘Jayant Desai Productions, Bombay’.
It was based on the legend of Sohni Mahiwal. It had Ishwar Lal, Begam Para, Mubarak, Dixit, Rewashankar, Sayeed Ahmed, Gharpure, Bibibai, Shobha, Nafis Begam, Kesharbai and others.
This movie had as many as eleven songs. They were written by Swami Ramanand (nine songs) and Munshi Dil (two songs). Music for this movie was composed by Lal Mohammad.
Here is the list of songs in this movie: –
| SNo | Song Title | Singer | Lyricist | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Mujhe loot liya re mujhe … bhole sanam ne | Naseem Akhtar | Swami Ramanand | |
| 02 | Anaaron ke baagh mein chhup chhup ke aana …o pardesi bhool na jaanaa | Zohrabai Ambalewali | Swami Ramanand | |
| 03 | Muhabbat ke bande, muhabbat karenge | Not mentioned | Swami Ramanand | |
| 04 | Ab to aa jaa jaani yaar tera intezaar hai | Zohrabai Ambalewali | Swami Ramanand | |
| 05 | Koyi aankhon mein aa ke samaa gaya | Zohrabai Ambalewali | Swami Ramanand | |
| 06 | Nahin chiraag e mohabbat jalaaye jaate hain | Zohrabai Ambalewali | Munshi Dil | |
| 07 | Teri Sohni pukaar kare, Mahiwal dekh | Zohrabai Ambalewali | Swami Ramanand | |
| 08 | Chali pyaar sakhi sasuraal dil kyun doley naa | Zoharabai, G.M. Durrani | Swami Ramanand | |
| 09 | Chenab ke behte huye paani … | Zoharabai, G.M. Durrani | Swami Ramanand | 18.09.2014 |
| 10 | Dekh kar surat tumhaari dil gaya | Rewashankar,chorus | Swami Ramanand | |
| 11 | O tujhpe salaam aye mere naakaam e muhabbat | Zoharabai, G.M. Durrani | Munshi Dil | 13.09.2014 |
We can see from the above table that only two songs of this movie have been posted on the blog in September’2014. So, almost seven years have been passed without a song of this movie getting posted on the blog.
Today we will listen to the third song from this movie. IT is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali. Lyrics are by Swami Ramanand and music is composed by Lal Muhammad.
Let us now enjoy this lovely song …( only the audio of this song is available).

After about 8 transfers in different states on promotions, I was promoted further and brought to our Head office in Bombay ( it had yet to become Mumbai). I settled down here for good. The year was 1983. While going to the office everyday, I used to see a beautiful Housing society at the corner of Versova Road and Juhu Road junction. The society’s name was ” Karachi Residents’ society-No.4″. I was very curious about this name. On one Sunday, while returning from a friend’s house, I stopped my car near this society, I saw a middle-aged person coming out of the gate. I stopped him and enquired. From what he told me, I gathered that this was a society of those people who lived in Karachi, before the Partition. He further enlightened me that there were 5 such societies in Bombay and there was also a “Lahore Residents’ Society ” which too had 5 numbers. People who fled from Karachi and Lahore at the time of Partition still loved their original abode !
Later I read somewhere that there was a Bombay Residents’ Society in Karachi also ! So the attachments were on both sides !! Partition not only divided the Country in 1947 but also affected the Film industry badly on both sides. Few days ago I was reading a book “Mourning the Nation – Indian cinema in the wake of Partition” written by Bhaskar Sarkar. Then I remembered those societies. Today, those society buildings have been pulled down and new buildings have come up, with different new names. However, a closer look shows older names mentioned in small letters in brackets on the new name boards.
According to the book, Indian film industry lost some Gems, but Pakistan was not in a position to do justice to these Gems, as their film industry was in doldrums. Everything had to be started all over again. Till that time the artistes had to wait. Problem in India was the void created by the exit of artistes, but this was easily done by a strong reserve available, waiting in the wings for opportunities. This was the second line. The problem in Pakistan was having to establish the infrastructure itself plus financers for the film production, since the economy was yet to develop.
In undivided India, Lahore (then in the Punjab) was important as a showbiz centre. It was an established film-making centre. The first Talkie film ever to be made in a Lahore studio was Heer Ranjha-1932 and thereafter many Urdu and Punjabi films were produced from Lahore every year. The partition of India into two independent states – India and Pakistan, caused irreparable damage to film production in Lahore. Most of Lahore’s film producers were Hindus and as the city fell on the side of the Islamic state of Pakistan, they migrated to India. This deprived Lollywood, as Lahore is referred to in film circles, of much needed investment and expertise in film production and distribution. Many talented actors and musicians from Punjab and Sindh area tried their luck in the Cine Industry at Lahore. Nevertheless, the biggest centre of film production was Bombay and it was every aspiring artiste’s dream to go to Bombay and shine there.
The film activity at Lahore increased considerably in the early 40s in terms of film production and Music. Those days many actors and musicians shifted their base to Bombay from Lahore, Calcutta and other places too.
The list of such people is very long, but it will suffice to mention some well known names-
Noorjehan, Pran, Saigal, Prithwiraj Kapoor, Shyam, Dilip Kumar, Surinder, Karan Dewan, Dev Anand, Balraj Sahni, Singer Khursheed, Mumtaz Shanti, Veena, Begum Para, Meena Shorey, Suraiya, Manorama, Kamini Kaushal, Shyama(Khursheed Akhtar), A R Kardar, M Sadiq, Suresh(Nazim Ahmed), Amar, Chetan Anand, Zande Khan, Ghulam Hyder, Pt.Amarnath and his brothers Husnlal-Bhagatram, Hansraj Behl, S.Mohinder, Firoz Nizami, Khursheed Anwar, Khayyam, Vinod, Shyamsunder, Kidar Sharma, Krishna Chander, O P Dutta, Saadat Hasan Manto, Qamar Jalalabadi, D N Madhok, Tanvir Naqvi, Prem Dhawan etc etc. Many of the actors and producers used to shuttle between Lahore and Bombay for their work.
And when the PARTITION took place in 1947, in the communal frenzy, polarisation of artistes took place. Some Hindus shifted to Bombay and Some Muslims left for Lahore.
At the actual time of Partition some Indian artists were in Lahore for film work. They were B R Chopra, Ramanand Sagar, I S Johar, Gulshan Rai, Omprakash, Jeevan, O P Nayyar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Naqsh Lyallpuri, Surinder and Prakash Kaur Manorama and Pushpa Huns. They all left Lahore hurriedly and reached Bombay Safely.
However this journey was not so safe for one actor-Comedian Durga Prasad, known as Durga Mota. He was very fat. In the melee, he reached the Lahore station and somehow entered the Train to Bombay. Suddenly a group of mad rioters entered the Lahore station and started killing the travellers. Most people ran helter skelter, but due to his heavy body, Durga Mota could not run and was cut into pieces on the Lahore station platform itself !
Same way many artists from Bombay left for Lahore and ALL of them reached safely. some of the Directors who migrated to Pakistan were-
Syed Shaukat Hussain Rizvi, S M Yousuf, Najam Naqvi, Munshi Dil, Nakshab Jarachavi, M Sadiq, Zia Sarhadi, Sibtain Fazli(of Fazli Brothers), S T Zaidi , Zahoor Raja, Wali saheb, A R Kardar,Nazir,W Z Ahmed,Masood Pervez, Shareef Nayyar,Luqmaan, Dawood Chaand, Rakhan, Nusrat Mansoori, M H Qasim, Roop K Shorey, Butt Kasher, Barkat Mehra and Manto.
Some of the Actors/actresses were- Nazeer, Sadiq Ali, Masood, Sudhir, Santosh, Ratan Kumar, Najmul Hussain, Suresh and Nasir khan(both came back to India later), Sh.Mukhtar, M.Ismail, Ajmal, Gulam Mohd, Kumar, Ghori, Majeed, Shahnawaz, Himalayawala, Shyam Kumar, Allauddin, Shah Shikarpuri, Charlie, Nazar Faizi Noorjehan, Meena Shorey, Khursheed, Zeenat Begum, Asha Posley, Najma, Kalawati, Rehana, Swarnalata, Ragini, Bibbo, Renuka Devi, Geeta Nizami, Maya Devi etc.
Some from the music field were- Khursheed Anwar, Inayat Hussain, Rafiq gaznavi, G A Chisti, Ghulam Hyder, Firoz Nizami, Nissar Bazmi, Nashaad, Tufail Faruqi, Tanvir Naqvi, Faiyaz Hasmi, Iqbal Bano, Premlata,Khursheed,Zeenat Begum,Shevan Rizvi,Rasheed Atre,Fateh Ali khan,Babul etc.
With so many people migrating to Pakistan at a time and given the condition of the Pakistan Film Industry then, it is a moot question, whether all these migrants could get work there and shine ?
There were 2 types of people who migrated-
1. Those who had achieved their peaks already in India and
2. Those who had just started their careers.
Obviously the second group, at least some of them, could do well there eventually.
Some of the successful migrants there were- Noor jahan, Khursheed Anwar, G A Chisti, Nissar Bazmi, Firoz Nizami, Najam Naqvi, Nakshab Jarachavi, Sibtain Fazli, Wali Saheb,Manto, Rashid Atre, Sudhir, Santosh, Asha Posley, Shameem, Najma, Yasmeen, Ragini, Zahoor Shah, Shaikh Iqbal, Himalayawala, Nazar, Rafiq Gaznavi, Tanvir Naqvi, Iqbal Bano etc.
The unfortunate ones were-some of them- Meena Shorey, Ratan Kumar, M Sadiq, Charlie, Ghori, Kumar, Shaikh Mukhtar, Najmul Hussain, Neena, Kalavati, Maya devi, Gulam Hyder, Nashaad, Premlata etc.
Almost all the artists who shifted to Bombay prior to Partition did very well here.
(Notes- 1.All lists are only indicative and not exhaustive
2.Migrants means between 1947 to 1970 period.)
About two years ago, there was a fruitful discussion on my Facebook page about Partition effects on Film industry in India and Pakistan. Many senior experts (from US and UK too !) participated and some more new information came out of this discussion…..
The rioting of 1947 set in motion irreversible, irrevocable migration. B R. Chopra and I S Johar were planning films in a big way in Lahore but had to run for their lives. Ramanand Sagar left in July, as did Gulshan Rai. Character actor Om Prakash (of Fateh Din fame, an all-time favourite skit relayed for years by Radio Lahore), comedian-bad man Jeevan and many others also left Lahore for Bombay. O P Nayyar recorded his immortal song Priyatam Aan Milo/ Dukhia Jiya Bullai, Aan Milo at the His Master’s Voice studio in Lahore. He left Lahore only in 1948 when it became clear that people with the wrong religion were not going to return to their homes on either side of the Punjab. Writer Rajinder Singh Bedi escaped, sitting on top of a railway carriage carrying loads of Hindus and Sikhs out of Lahore. Song-writer Naqsh Lyallpuri began his literary career in Lahore as a journalist but had to leave in 1947. Punjabi singers Surinder Kaur and Prakash Kaur, and Pushpa Hans also left Lahore.
Migration in the other direction also took place. Nazir and his wife Swarnlata, Noorjahan and her husband Shaukat Husain Rizvi, character actor Alauddin and many others headed for Lahore. Manto came in January 1948, music directors Ghulam Haider and Khurshid Anwar followed some years later and director M. Sadiq probably in 1969 or 1970. Meena Shorey, Khurshid and Mumtaz Shanti also immigrated to Lahore. Some Pakistani actors in Lahore continued to use Hindu filmic names. Santosh Kumar (Musa Raza) and Sudhir (Shah Zaman), the two most famous heroes of the 1950s and 60s followed such practice. On both sides, initially considerable goodwill existed between the two film communities.
Some families were divided. Thus for example, while Nazir Ahmed khan shifted to Lahore, his nephew K. Asif stayed on in Bombay. Kardar stayed on but his brother Nusrat Kardar and son Rauf Kardar returned to Lahore. While Suraiya, her mother and grandmother settled in Bombay, many of her other relatives shifted to Lahore. Rafi stayed on to reign supreme in Bombay while his parents and siblings were in Lahore.
There were some cross-religion marriages that created peculiar challenges. Raj Kapoor’s maama (maternal uncle) Mr Mehra married a Muslim actress Anwari, converted to Islam and stayed in Lahore. A unique case of reverse migration took place as well: poet Sahir Ludhianvi (Abdul Hai) left Lahore for India.
Luckily,except for few like Noorjehan, Khursheed Anwar and some others, the well established Muslim artistes like Rafi, Talat, Shamshad, Naushad and hundreds of others chose to remain in India. They prospered here and became popular in Pakistan as well.
After partition,this turmoil subsided after a short period in India and it was business as usual here, while in Lahore, Pakistan had to build up from scratch, but the Film Industry there too stabilised in a few years’ time. The base of Film industry in Pakistan was built by people who migrated from India. Migration from India to Pakistan continued till about 1970 for the pre-partition artistes. In fact till about 1965 there was an exchange of artistes from both sides to work in other countries, but after the 65 war, this working stopped almost completely.
Music Directors who left India after Partition had done a very good job here. Composers like Nissar Bazmi and Feroz Nizami became exceptionally successful in Pakistan, but Nashad, Rafiq Ghaznavi and others were not successful to that extent. Khursheed Anwar, a very highly respected composer here remained a father figure even in Pakistan.
Partition did a lot of damage to both countries and the film industry. With so many artistes leaving at a time surely affected the filmdom, but it also opened up new avenues for new singers and new blood composers.
Despite all this in the Partition year – 1947 saw making of a Record number of films in India – 181 (this record remained till 1985). Of course most films were made in a hurry to complete before the deadline of August-1947. Still, even in these circumstances also some very good, meaningful, milestone and musical films were made in 1947, like… Aaj aur Kal (the first Sci Fi film), Bhakta Dhruv, Dard, Do Bhai, Elan, Jugnu, Leela, Meera, Meerabai, Mirza Sahiban, Natak, Parwana, Shehnai, Sindoor etc.etc.
Today’s song is from one of the unknown films of 1947 – Bela. The only noteworthy point about this film was, it was the first ever film of Zohrabai, where she sang all the 10 songs of the film. The other film surpassing this record was film Meerabai – 47, where Sitara Kanpuri sang all the 13 songs of the film. However even this record was broken in 1947 itself when M. S. Subbulakshmi sang all 17 songs of her film Meera-1947. As far as I remember this record is yet unbeaten.
Bela-47 was made by Ranjit Cinetone. It was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi and the MD was Bulo C Rani. The film had 10 songs. 9 songs are already discussed. Today’s song is the last 10th song and the film says YIPPEE. I was given this song by Abhay Jain ji of US, but it was a slightly short one. Sadanand Kamath ji found another version song which was longer and uploaded it for me. I thank both of them.

Recently I have written a few posts for songs of films Laila Majnu(1945) and Laila Majnu(1953). In the past also, now that I checked, I have written posts for 5 songs of Laila Majnu(1976).
Ab agar hamse khudaayi bhi khafa ho jaaye
Barbaad e muhabbat ki dua saath liye jaa
Is reshmi paazeb ki jhankaar ke sadqe
Likh kar tera naam zameen par
Ye deewaane ki zidd hai
I have revisited the above posts, just to confirm if I have written my real thoughts on these legends of undying love, which end in tragedy and death. Obviously this sort of love is also unfruitful. The romanticism and glorification of this type of folk love stories and legends has no basis in truth or even historical facts. The civilization has been around for a few millennia now and last few millennia have been recorded by historians. If there was even a bit of truth in these legends, they have had enough time and exposure to intelligent humans to surface by now. So these are legends, myths, folklore, the purpose of creation of these things in the eastern regions, the so called ‘mashriq’, the conservative, the tolerant, the deeply religious and the more civilized compared to the western region, is unclear to me. All those philosophies of ‘love is paramount’, ‘love is pure’ and all are fine. As per my habit I am wondering again, if there are any research papers on this topic. It may have had a certain appeal or fantasy value, beyond this I don’t find any usefulness of it. It fired the imagination of certain poets in West Asia, who wrote eulogies of their stories.
I am giving a part of a story here:
A brave chieftain has three sons. His wife died soon after giving birth to the youngest son, now 10 years old. The chieftain, who had deeply loved his beloved wife, must remarry now for political, social and family reasons. His mother who has looked after the family so far is very old and cannot do so for much longer. The youngest son comes to the father to express his apprehensions about the marriage and the doubt that the fathers love for the sons may be diminished or divided. The father explains to the young son, very patiently, describing the values, culture and traditions of their family and tribe etc. He tells his son, that “when I looked into the ‘gazelle’s eyes’ of your mother for the first time, it was as if I had found the world. When she bore 3 sons for me, it was as if she had given me the world. We couldn’t thank the Almighty enough for this gift. Then she died, but she left to me, her world and my world, in you all.” There after he goes on to explain to the young son, through analogies, how a father’s love for his children never diminishes and cannot be divided.
The above simple story has deep love, love for beauty, family love, tragedy, wisdom, loyalty, duty, eternal love and undivided love. Above all the story has continuity of life. It has thankfulness to God, shows that one can cope with tragedy and move on in due course.
In contrast, the stories of eternal love, obsession of the beloved, so much so that the characters prefer to die, then live without each other, is just a hollow confrontational rhetoric’s. More so, because these are imaginary characters, advocating obsessions with physical beings, though they talk of connections with the souls. These have misled the generations of human societies, with an artificial cloak of ‘commitment’. Self-obsessed and obsessed with each other just doesn’t cut it.
I am going down memory lane in a bid to try and explain my thoughts. When my son was born, my father-in-law said that “ye hamare ghar ka chiraag hai”. In my forthright way, I would have asked him, if he means it so, as it is a son. But that thought did not even completely formulate and never reached the utterance level. For I knew, my father-in-law had a special place in the heart of daughters and sons. Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law had their hearts in correct places in this regard. This is my takeaway from having been part of a family whose core dignity and integrity is what made my relation with them so much more meaningful. May Allah subhan-o-ta’ala grant them both elevated status in jannat-ul-firdous.
So what did my father in law mean, when he called my son ‘ghar ka chiraag’? My son is the youngest one of his generation in the family. It has taken me all these years to realize that my father in law meant that he is youngest one, so the torch bearer of the family to the farthest point in the future. ‘Chiraag’ is the torch which allows you to see in the darkness. Though the future is a dark place, here is a lamp taking the family towards the future. Though the ‘male progeny’ is also part of the statement, but the aspect are not disproportionate. I feel it so, as he was not proclaiming it to all, but said it to me personally. Though there are other grandchildren including sons, but he did not call anyone as ‘ghar ka chiraag’. Part of the intention, may have been the prayer and hope of brighter future of the child. Young kids are also lovingly called ‘budda’ (or ‘budha’ meaning old person). This is again a wish that the child will live a long life till very old.
Thus, in my well thought out opinion, these stories of Laila-majnu, Shirin-Farhad etc. are a part of the flimsy whim which made the myths and gods out of such sacrificial love. They are a relic of past storytelling, and that is where they belong, they have no role to play and importance in the practical living world.
Next song in the “dheere dheere” series is this special all female qawwali, from the film ‘Ghazab’ 1951. The qawwali is referring to Laila-Majnu, Shirin-Farhad etc. Actually I found the song with mukhda “nazar se mil hi jaayegi nazar” in the song list of film Baazaar 1949, when I checked the list of songs posted in the blog, this song was missing, and it shows 15/16 posted. When I searched for the song on youtube, I found the song with same mukhda but not from Baazaar 1949, but from Ghazab 1951. It is listed with the same mukhda in both the films song list at myswar. It can be that it was recorded for Bazaar and used in Ghazab, as the MD’s are different.
The song is in ‘dheere dheere’ category as the mukhda has the words “aahistaa aahistaa”. When I found the qawwali with three singers, a while ago, I had high hopes of it. I was expecting a spectacular qawwali, but after listening to it a few times, I have reached the conclusion that the spectacular thing about it is the crystal clear voice and diction of Lata Mangeshkar. Her co-singers are Zohrabai Ambalewali and Kalyani. It is written by A. Karim, and music director of Ghazab 1951 is, Nisaar Bazmi. For some reason, the Music director for this qawwali is not mentioned.
The following three songs of Ghazab 1951 are posted:
Dil ko nahin hai chain haaye re
Nazar milaa ke muskaa ke
Tere kaaran sabko chhoda
This qawwali is the only song by Lata Mangeshkar in this movie, whereas “Bazaar” 1949 has 6 songs by Lata Mangeshkar. Lyrics credited to A. Karim, are the only clear link with ‘Ghazab’ 1951, as A. Karim is the writer/director of the film. It is quite possible that the qawwali was composed and recorded for Bazaar, and the composer could be Shyam Sunder as no one is credited under Ghazab listing, and somehow it got listed under both the films.
Editor’s note:-“Ghazab”(1951) had two music directors namely Nisaar Bazmi and Naashaad. Record of this song does not mention the music director (which has to be either of the two music directors) so no music director is credited for this song.
Song-Nazar se mil hi jaayegi nazar aahistaa aahistaa(Ghazab)(1951) Singers-Lata, Zohrabai Ambalewali, Kalyani, Lyrics-A Karim, MD-Nisar Bazmi

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 88
———————————————————————————–
After a gap of more than one month, we are back with this blog ten year challenge. There is a very good reason why I have decided to resume this series on THIS day viz 29 October 2020. That reason will become clear only in the evening, when I will post the second Blog ten year challenge post of the day.
On this day ten years ago, viz on 29 october 2010, I had posted five songs in the blog. As was usual those days, all the posts were done and dusted with in the morning. The first post of the day appeared at 7:19 AM and the final post at 9L29 AM.
Here are the details:-
| Blog Post number | Song | Movie | Year of release | Posting time | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3149 | Teri nazar mein main rahoon meri nazar mein tu | 1857 | 1946 | 7:19 AM | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3150 | Tum hamen bhool gaye | Balam | 1949 | 8:13 AM | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3151 | Barbaad huyi dil ki duniyaa | Jalpari | 1952 | 8:51 AM | 7 songs covered out of 9 |
| 3152 | Hamko samajh baithhi hai ye duniyaa deewaanaa | Chaar Deewaari | 1961 | 9:13 AM | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3153 | Mujhe tumse muhabbat hai magar main keh nahin saktaa | Bachpan | 1963 | 9:29 AM | 3 songs covered out of 7 |
One can notice that three out of five movies that were represented ten years ago have been YIPPEED by now. That leaves us with “Jalpari”(1952) and “Bachpan”(1964) as the two movies eligible for the Blog ten year challenge.
I had chosen the song for “Bachpan”(1964) yesterday itself, and I thought I had done the same for “Jalpari”(1952) as well. but today morning, I discovered that the song chosen by me was already discussed. What is more, it was discussed exactly ten years ago. So I had to search for another song. Only two songs of “Jalpari”(1952) are left. The first song mentioned in HFGK has no details viz record number, singers etc. That song is as good as unavailable. That leaves us with only one song, viz “Namkeen tumhaari soorat hai”. On YT, a one minute partial version of this song is available which does not do justice to the song. Locating the full song and uploading it took me better part of the morning and so I was not able to post any post in the blog till now.
This elusive song is described in HFGK as sung by Rafi, Shamshad Begam and Zohrabai Ambalewali. On listening to the song, I find that the female singers are correctly identified, but the male singer is not. There are two male playback singers to match the two playback singers. Rafi’s voice is not at all there . Two two male voices sound familiar. One of them sounds like S Balbir to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the voices.
There were three lyricists in the movie, but only two songs are credited to two lyriciasts. Lyricists of others songs, including the song under discussuion, are not known. Music is composed by Pt Govindram.
Two males and two females have an interesting exchange of words in the song where expression of love is couched in the form of nok jhonk. Very interesting song that has been forgotten with time.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisatioon of this song.
I feel that the only remaining song from the movie may not be available and so this movie, after this song, may remain unYIPPEED, or may be conditionally YIPPEED, as described by Sudir Jee in one of his posts.
I have mentioned it that one more Blog Ten Year Challenge post will appear today. That would be a special kind of Blog ten yewar challenge. So watch this space.
Song-Namkeen tumhaari soorat hai(Jalpari)(1952) Singers-Male voice 1, male voice 2, Shamshad Begam, Zohrabai Ambalewali, Lyricist-Unknown, MD-Pt Govindram
Lyrics
namkeen tumhaari soorat hai
arre naina tore matwaare hain
ye laddoo pede barfi sab
iske aage jhak maare hain
roop ka bhojan tumhaara
dil pe jaadoo kar gaya
haaye
dil pe jaadoo kar gaya
arre dekh kar soorat tumhaari
pet apna bhar gaya
chaahe nakad karo ya udhaar karo
ho par thhoda thhoda hamse pyaar karo
par thhoda thhoda hamse pyaar karo
dekho hamse na yoon taqraar karo
jora jori mat ankhiyaan chaar karo
jora jori mat ankhiyaan chaar karo
ham gore hain ya kaale hain
arre mard muhabbat waale hain
dhun ke sachche dhun ke pakke
tere roop ke ham rakhwaale hain
in moochhon par
in moochhon par
in moochhon par aitbaar karo
ho par thhoda thhoda hamse pyaar karo
in moochhon se ham darte hain
teri shakl se nafrat karte hain
tum daanav jaise chakram to
meri gali mein paani bharte hain
arre sunaa
oon hoon
mat baaten yoon bekaar karo
jora jori mat ankhiyaan chaar karo
o chaahe nakad karo ya udhaar karo
o par thhoda hamse pyaar karo
aji maine kahaa huzoor
zara suniye to
chal chal
aji maine kahaa sarkaar
zara dekhiye to
kya hai
main ho gaya tera deewaana
tu shamma main tera parwaana
o meri bulbul dekh zara
dil kar diya tujhko nazraana
haaye
chaahe soch karo ya vichaar karo
ho par thhoda thhoda hamse pyaar karo
dekho hamse na yoon taqraar karo
jora jori mat ankhiyaan chaar karo
tum maanus bade nikhhattoo ho
moorakh ho zaahil jattoo ho
tum nayi nawelan naar dekh
phat ho jaate lattoo ho
arre kuchh samjhe
bilkul nahin
mat hamse yoon takraar karo
jora jori mat ankhiyaan chaar karo
o chaahe nakad karo ya udhaar karo
ho par thhoda thhoda hamse pyaar karo
