उर्मिले त्रिवार वंदन तुला (Urmile trivaar vandan tulaa) is a Marathi non-film bhajan rendered by Ram Phatak which I used to listen on the radio in my younger days. The meaning of the first line is ‘hey Urmila, my thrice salute to you’. The salutation by the poet is because she was an unsung character in Ramayan. She was the wife of Lakshman and younger sister of Seeta. When Ram was exiled along with Seeta for 14 years, Lakshaman decided to accompany Ram and Seeta to protect them during the exile. Urmila also wanted to join Lakshman. But she was asked by Lakshman to stay back and take care of his aged parents in Ayodhya during their absence. During those 14 years, Urmila is said to have slept continuously so that Lakshman can remain awake to protect Ram and Seeta.
I had forgotten about this Marathi song for a long time. While I was researching on Khayyam for writing a tributary article on the occasion of his 6thth Remembrance Day on August 19, 2025, I realised that his wife, Jagjit Kaur was the ‘Urmila’ in his life who sacrificed her aristocratic life to marry a struggling music director. While the selflessness of Urmila cannot be strictly comparable as Jagjit Kaur and her husband Khayyam spent their life together. But, apart from her aristocratic comfort, she sacrificed her playback singing career after her marriage with Khayyam sometime in 1954 in her own volition as she had said in her interviews. She did not seek playback singing assignments either from her husband or from others. Instead, she decided to assist her husband in whatever manner – either professionally or on the domestic front. She had said in an interview as late as 2019 that she recorded the song under Khayyam only because the scheduled playback singers did not turn up for recording the songs or the producers/directors of the films suggested her name for the songs.

Yesterday, I was watching the song, gumsum saa ye jahaan ye raat ye hawaa from the film, ‘Duniya Jhuktee Hai’ (1960). An idea came to me as to how many Hindi films songs may have the word ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda of the songs. I checked on the internet and found that over two dozen songs had the word, ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda. There may be more Hindi film songs with ‘gumsum’ but they may appear elsewhere in the songs. I selected few such songs to watch/listen. One of ‘gumsum’ songs which I heard for the first time and liked so much that I must have heard umpteen times. It is a beautifully crafted song in terms of lyrics, rendition, orchestration and the picturisation. The song is ‘gumsum kyun hai sanam o zaraa maan jaa’ from the film, ‘Bhala Maanush’ (1979) which I am presenting in this short write-up, concentrating mainly on the song. Gulshan Bawra wrote this song.

‘Taraana-1979’ was directed by Deepak Bahri for Chanda Pictures. It was presented by Rajshri Productions and produced by Tarachand Barjatya. Living upto the reputation of the production house this movie too gives us a clean, musical, family entertainer movie. This is a nice movie having a nice story line of ‘love’ and including sub-plots of ‘lost and found’ story, and ‘wealthy and poor’ conflict to it. The cast of this movie ‘Taraana-1979’ is Ranjeeta, Mithun Chakraborty, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Urmila Bhatt, Jayshree T., Sharat Saxena, and Om Shivpuri. They were supported by Yunus Parvez, Janki Das, Sundar, Bhagwan, Shakeel, Satyabhan Sinha, Naresh, Pardesi, Master Sandeep, Shobha Khote, Mala Jaggi, Uma Khosla, and Jagdeep. The story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Khalid & Narvi. Editing of this film was done by Mukhtar Ahmed.
