This is a very melodious song from film JHANJAR-1953.
1953 was an year when not only C Ramchandra was on Top, but also he was in the Seventh Heaven, due to his friendship with Lata. This was a period when Lata was fully involved in CR’s songs and persona. Leaving aside their personal matters, we will talk only of their music.

Lata Mangeshkar has sung for almost all the top music directors of the golden era of Hindi film music, the major exception being O P Nayyar. She has sung many popular and melodious songs for music directors like Anil Biswas, Naushad, C Ramchandra, Husnlal-Bhagatram, S D Burman, Roshan, Madan Mohan, Shankar-Jaikishan, Hemant Kumar, Salil Chaudhary etc. But her most talked about collaborations even today are that with C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan. And rightly so as there was something special about her songs under their batons. While her songs with C Ramchandra were mostly reflected the romance with ‘feel good’ factor, with Madan Mohan they were mostly associated with ‘heart felt’ pensive mood genre.

This is a song from Film- Paapi-1953, a film largely remembered for the only Double Role that Raj kapoor ever did in his career. Another reason to remember this film was that this was a film Directed by Sardar Chandulal Shah, the owner of Ranjit Studios and Ranjit Movietone. To understand why his direction was important in this film, we will have to go into the history of Ranjit first.

hain aur bhi duniyaa mein sukhanwar bahut achchhe
kahte hain ki Ghalib kaa hai andaaz-e-bayaan aur
Whenever I remember this maqta of Ghalib’s ghazal, Majrooh Sultanpuri’s name props up in my mind. I always felt how apt it would be if words ‘duniyaa’ and ‘Ghalib’ from the maqta she’r were replaced with ‘filmi jahaan’ and ‘Majrooh’. During Majrooh Sultanpuri’s time, there were renowned poet-lyricists like Sahir Ludhianvi, Shakeel Badayuni, Shailendra, Kaifi Azmi, Jan Nisar Akhtar and later, Gulzar, Javed Akhtar etc. but Majrooh’s andaaz-e-bayaan , the sophistication even in his teasing, racy and light hearted lyrics in Hindi film songs was something which became the hallmark of his style of song writings. He wrote songs trending with the time. Perhaps this explains why Majrooh Sultanpuri had one of the longest innings of over five decades in the Hindi film industry, penning songs for most of the well known music directors – from Naushad in 1946 to A R Rehman in 2000.
