Ramesh Saigal who had produced and directed socially relevant films like ‘Shikast (1952) and ‘Railway Platform (1956), ventured in to make one more such film based on the Russian novelist Dostoevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’. The film was PHIR SUBAH HOGI (1958). Raj Kapoor and Mala Sinha were the lead actors in this movie with Rehman, Jagdish Sethi, Leela Chitnis, Nana Pansikar and Mubarak in the supporting roles. The songs were written by Sahir Ludhianvi and composed by Khayyam. As far as I know, Sahir Ludhianvi teamed up with Khayyam for the first time in this film.

When one would sit down to list and compile a gold collection of Asha Bhonsle, this ghazal is a ‘must have’ in such a compilation. It is a short ghazal, by many standards. Just three verses, but the words are like sharp stilettos of passion that twist and wrench inside the heart. The composition is fairly simple yet emphatic, and the rendition that sounds apparently casual to start with, carries the words with a resounding conviction – almost a categorical statement of resignation to the wiles of fate. There is a compelling question that the singing voice asks at the end of each verse, and one is forced to absorb and contemplate and empathize and feel the restless, and yet a resigned passion that dominates this poetic expression. What a creation this one is !

Hindi movie songs cover lots of ground as far as depicting various human feelings as well as activities of Indians are concerned. But there are still a few regular activities that have been sadly underrepresented. For instance, there are hardly any songs for an activity as common as buying and selling of vegetables.
