#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
Regulars on this blog must have already noticed that nowadays I have been regularly sharing older songs. I had started as a fan and contributor of songs from the seventies – to early eighties. But I like songs from earlier decades as well. But my exposure to songs of 1930s and 1940s may have been limited to the “puraani Filmon ke geet” programme of SLBC that was broadcast from 7:30 AM to 8 AM, ending with a K L Saigal song at the stroke of 8 AM. However thanks to this blog, now I have been listening to many many older songs and also sharing them here. Listening to these songs is always a pleasure.

Today’s song is one of the very few songs sung by the Music Director Anil Biswas. Today’s film is Bhookh-1947.
In olden days, there were 3 major film centres-Bombay, Lahore and Calcutta. After 1947, all the Hindi film activity at Lahore shifted to Bombay. By mid 50’s even Calcutta almost stopped making Hindi films. Many Hindi speaking artistes in various disciplines of film making shifted to Bombay and finally Bombay became the only and the main Hindi film making Centre.

Today’s song is from a less known or rather unknown, obscure film- Mulaqat-1947.
This was one of the movies of 1947, which was made in great haste, adding only to the quantity of films. Actually the Music Director as well as the cast of the film was good, but somehow the film did not click.
This was a film with Muslim social background. The cast of the film was Naseem Banu, Prem Adib, Rama Shukla, Mumtaz Ali, Majid, Najma, Shah Nawaz and many others.

Today’s song is from a mysterious film – But Tarash-1947.
When I first heard this film’s name, for a very long time, I was puzzled about its meaning. First I thought ‘ But’ is written by mistake for ‘Boot’. But Then what was Tarash ?
Was it also by mistake, for ‘Trash’ ? No, it could not be !
Very wisely, I referred to my dictionary of ” Urdu into English and vice versa”. Conveniently, it lists Urdu words in Roman script, so one who can not read Urdu, can also use this dictionary easily. This dictionary is compiled by The Rev. T.Cravel,M.A. and it was published in 1889 from Lucknow. This book is one of my prized possessions and I got this from my father 70 years ago. This 136 year old book has to be handled very carefully as its pages have become yellowish brown and very sensitive for breakages. The dictionary meaning of ” But Tarash” is ‘One who sculpts an idol’. In Hindi we call it a ‘Shilpkar’ or a ‘ Moortikar’.
