It is said that illustrious poets and their marvelous, amazing poetry has existed and will continues to exist till the end of time. Alas, the divinity that was bestowed by the cadence of KL Saigal’s rendition, was reserved for a privileged few. Any piece of poetry that was fortunate enough to be sung by this singer, came to life in his voice, as nothing else ever before or after him. From the simple, to the truly inspired creations of famous poets, each rendering was as if the singer himself was living the very life that the verse manifested. There may be words to describe the voice and the tone of KL Saigal, but there is no words, no comparison to the vitality and the liveliness that his voice imparted to the words.

This is such a beautiful gem of a song, that I heard for the first time today. The movie is Pehli Nazar (1945). Many will remember this as the debut movie for Mukesh, ‘Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De’. The lead characters of this movie are Motilal, Veena, Nigar Sultana, Cuckoo, Bibbo, B Pendarkar etc. The lyrics are created by Dr. Safdar Aah Sitapuri, and the music compositions are by Anil Biswas. The singer is Naseem Akhtar.

I am somewhat familiar with the songs and actors from late 1940s onwards. But the songs and actors from the earlier period appear totally pre historic and therefore unfamilar. Not much information is available about them either.

Here is a song from a very old movie called “Humaayun” (1945). Now 1945 was a different era altogether. Those were the days when the legends of today were no longer legends and we had an entirely different set of legends those days.
