I am presenting the 16th and probably the last song from ‘Sangeet Samrat Tansen’ (1962). It is a qawwali song, ‘tu hai ke naheen hai’ written by Shailendra. The qawwali is rendered by Mohammed Rafi and Manna Dey who sings for Prem Sagar (not to be confused with Ramanand Sagar’s son of the same name) and Bharat Bhushan, respectively.

I present a short song, ‘ab aayee barkha bahaar sajnee’ from the film, ‘Sangeet Samrat Tansen, (1962). The song is rendered by Mohammed Rafi who sings for Bharat Bhushan in the role of Tansen. The song ends with aalaaps and sargam rendered by Manna Dey who sings for M Kumar in the role of Swami Haridas.
The song is not listed in HFGC probably because being a short duration of about 2 minutes, the gramophone record of the song was not released. The song is not included in the LP record of the film. SAREGAMA has also not released the mp3 clip of this song. So, the only source of the song is from the sound track of the film.

Kanta dha kanta dha kanta dha

I am presenting a song mixed with taraana and sargam, ‘kanta dha kanta dha kanta dha’ from ‘Sangeet Samrat Tansen’ (1962). It is a jugalbandi between Tansen (Bharat Bhushan) as singer and the dancer Naaz Parveen (Sabita Chatterjee) in the court of Raja (D K Sapru) of Rewa Kingdom.
The story of the film is majorly concentrated around Tansen and his childhood friend, Hansa (Anita Guha). Tansen is devoted to Hansa as well as to his music. So, he is always caught in a dilemma. As a result, most of the time, Hansa gets separated from Tansen because of the calls from his musical duties. In a way, their relationship is akin to that of Radha and Shyam.
When Tansen decides to get married to Hansa for the first time, his Guru, Mohammed Ghous (David) instructs him to join the royal court on an invitation from Raja of Rewa. After a few months, when he gets permission from Raja of Rewa to get married to Hansa, Shahenshah Akbar (S N Tripathi) orders Raja of Rewa to send Tansen to be one of his ‘navratnas’ in his court. Even though Raja of Rewa decides to reject the demand inviting the potential wrath from Akbar, Tansen decides to reluctantly accept the invitation as rejecting that would create problems for Raja of Rewa. After joining the court of Akbar, Hansa joins Tansen and Akbar has planned for their marriage in Delhi. However, a misunderstanding between Hansa and Tansen about his relationship with dancer Naaz Parveen who is, in reality Tansen’s disciple, forces her to leave Tansen and return to the ashram of Swami Haridas. They are united only after Tansen faints while singing Raag Deepak which revives Akbar’s daughter (Preeti Bala). It is dancer, Naaz Parveen who clears Hansa’s misunderstanding about her and requests her to be with Tansen who is slated to sing Raag Deepak. After hearing this, Hansa accompanies Naaz Parveen and rushes to Delhi. Seeing an unconscious Tansen, she sings Raag Megh Malhar and revives him.
The context of the song under discussion is that Tansen wants to get married to his childhood friend, Hansa after his musical training gets over both from his Guru, Mohammed Ghous and Swami Haridas (M Kumar). Tansen pays a visit to his Guru, Mohammed Ghous to take his permission to marry Hansa. However, his Guru reveals that Raja Ramchandra of Rewa Kingdom has invited him to be the court singer. Adhering to his Guru’s instructions, Tansen joins the court of Raja of Rewa where he gets the title of ‘Sangeet Shiromani Tansen’. On this occasion, Naaz Parveen, the Raj Nartaki (Royal Dancer) from the court of the kingdom of Orchha gives a dance performance on the taraana rendered by Tansen. Later, it turns out to be a jugalbandi between the dancer and the singer.
The dance starts with a taraana of rhythmic syllables after which it gets switched over to a duet song between the singer and the dancer. Towards the end, once again, the singer switches over to taraana with faster rhythmic syllables which the dancer is not able to match and she loses her balance. Later, she becomes Tansen’s disciple.
In some places, I have not been able to decipher the rhythmic syllables in which cases I have only indicated them as ‘rhythmic syllables’.

Rafi Sb.
So much written about him. So much said. The words have ended. But the emotions continue to flow. So much more remains unsaid. So much more still waits. But the articulation struggles to create new epithets, define new qualifiers that may go beyond, and say a little more about this Divine Voice, about this persona so aptly described as God’s Own.
And yet, some more, little more. As it is, there are still many more songs in his voice that have to be brought on board here on our blog. I bring today a short ghazal of three couplets, that is indeed an abbreviated version. The poet who wrote these lines is Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor. As a character in history – the last Emperor of the glorious Mughal dynasty, he appears in some films. One of them is ‘Mirza Ghalib’ (1954).

“I worshipped Bimal Roy. For me, his worth as a man was more than his films… It is impossible for me to describe what a man he was.”
The above quote was by Ritwik Ghatak, one of Bimal Roy’s desciples who later became an internationally known director of parallel cinema in Bangla films.

OK, wow, another gem from the radio listening days. And what a wonderful reminder this song is. The film is ‘Naya Kanoon’ from 1965, and Rafi Sb is accompanied by Asha Bhosle in this song. Given that Madan Mohan is the music director, I am a little surprised that Lata does not figure in this film at all. Eight songs in all, with four female solos, and one duet (this one) – all carry the voice of Asha Bhosle. Possibly this recording may have been done during the time when there was a stand off between Lata ji and Rafi Sb. Still surprising that Madan Mohan did not get Lata to sing even one of the solo songs. Or possibly, other reasons, circumstances may have intervened.
