Since all the songs from this movie have been covered and the movie has achieved ‘Yippeeee’ status on the blog one would genuinely ask the question why this post now? and which song??

As I have mentioned in my earlier post with the ‘couplet song’ “Aap Abhi Ishq Ki Tehzeeb Se Aagaah Nahin” from ‘Dil Hi To Hai’ (1963), that I had prepared an excel sheet for Sahir and his music directors with the number of songs in the movies where Sahir Ludhianvi was lyricist. During the preparation of this list I had to go through the HFGK Vol II to VI and check the movie page for each movie. There I had noted some corrections and other interesting information. Accordingly, we are in the process of correcting some ‘tags’ for lyrics and adding some ‘snippets’, or ‘couplet songs’ wherever they are available and we can bring them here on the blog.

In the movie page for ‘Sone Ki Chidiya’ in HFGK Vol III, there is a footnote which mentions about a ‘nazm’ penned by Kaifi Azmi recited in his own voice in the movie (which on screen is lip synced by none other than Balraj Sahni). When I searched for audio/video of this ‘poem’ it was already available and that is the reason for this post here today.

Today 10th May, is the 18th anniversary of remembrance of Kaif Azmi (14.01.1919 – 10.05.2002). Also, we remember the genius ‘effortless performer’ Balraj Sahni on 1st May (01.05.1913 – 13.04.1973) on his 107th birth anniversary, which was in the previous week.

‘Sone Ki Chidiya’ is produced by Ismat Chugtai under the banner of Film India Corporation, Bombay, and is directed by Shahid Latif. The story and screenplay was also written by Ismat Chugtai herself. Editing of this movie was done by SE Chandiwale.

The star-cast of this movie includes Nutan, Balraj Sahni, Talat Mahmood, Altaf, Amar, Bikram Kapoor, Protima Devi, Chandabai, Sarita Devi, Baij Sharma, Hammad Jafri, Lotan, Bishan Khanna, Jagdish Kamal, Nazeer Kashmiri, Begambai, Zebunissa, Baby Radha, Baby Chagle, Master Patankar, Dhumal and many others.

The movie has eight songs, including two multi version songs. Asha Bhonsle, Talat Mahmood and Mohd Rafi had given their voices to the songs in this movie. Music for this movie was composed by OP Nayyar. I have been familiar with songs like “Pyaar Par Bas To Nahin“, “Raat Bhar Ka Mehmaan Andhera“, “Sach Bataa Tu Mujhpe Fidaa” from this movie since years, and that is the only association with this movie name for me, as I never got to watch this movie. However, since now the movie is available ‘online’, I will watch it sometime in the future.

One more very interesting point about this film. When I checked for title credits for lyricist of this movie it included names of three stalwart poets of Hindi cinema – Sahir, Majrooh and Kaifi. So we can see these three great poets of their time coming together here. I am not aware of any other such instance of coming together of these three great poets. Knowledgeable readers can throw more light on this.

As a tribute to both great film personalities – Kaifi Azmi and Balraj Sahni, whose contributions to the Hindi Cinema will be remembered by the generations to come, let us listen to these poignant yet motivating verses or poetry recitation included in the movie ‘Sone Ki Chidiya’.

 

 

Song – Aaj Ki Raat Bahut Garm Hawa Chalti Hai (Sone Ki Chidiya) (1958) Singer – Kaifi Azmi, Lyrics – Kaifi Azmi, MD – OP Nayyar

Lyrics

aaj ki raat bahut garm hawa chalti hai
aaj ki raat na footpath pe neend aayegi
sab utthho
main bhi utthhoon
tum bhi utthho
tum bhi utthho
koi khidki isi deewaar mein khul jaayegi

ye zameen tab bhi nigal lene pe aamaada thi
paaon jab toot’ti shaakhon se utaare hum ne
in makiinon ko khabar hai
na makaanon ko khabar
un dinon ki jo gufaaon mein guzaare hum ne

sirf khaaqa thha jo sach poochho to khaaqa bhi na thha
jis’se ye qasr ye aiwaan utaare ham ne
haath dhalte gaye saanchon mein to thakte kaise
naqsh ke baad naye naqsh nikhaare hum ne
kee ye deewaar buland aur buland  aur buland
baamon-o-dar aur zaraa aur  sanwaare ham ne
aandhiyaan tod liyaa karti thhi sham’on ki laven
jad diye is liye bijlee ke sitaare hum ne
aandhiyaan tod liyaa karti thhi sham’on ki laven
jad diye is liye bijlee ke sitaare ham ne
ban gayaa qasr to pehre pe koyi baithh gayaa
ban gayaa qasr to pehre pe koyi baithh gayaa
so rahe khaaq pe ham shorish-e-taamiir liye

apni nas nas mein liye mehnat-e-paiham ki thakan
band aankhon mein isi qasr ki tasveer liye
arre, din pighalta hai isi tarah saron par ab tak
raat aankhon mein khatakti hai syaah teer liye
aaj ki raat bahut garm hawaa chalti hai
aaj ki raat na footpath pe neend aayegi
sab utthho
main bhi utthhoon
tum bhi utthho
tum bhi utthho
koi khidki isi deewaar mein khul jaayegi

आज की रात बहुत गर्म हवा चलती है
आज की  रात न फुटपाथ पे नींद आएगी
सब उठो
मैं भी उठूँ
तुम भी उठो
तुम भी उठो
कोई खिड़की इसी दीवार में खुल जायेगी

ये ज़मीन तब भी निगल लेने पे आमादा थी
पाँव जब टूटती शाखों से उतारे हम ने
इन मकीनों को ख़बर है न मकानों को ख़बर
उन दिनों की जो गुफाओं में गुज़ारें हम ने

सिर्फ ख़ाका था जो सच पूछो तो ख़ाका भी न था
जिससे ये क़स्र ये ऐवान उतारे हम ने
हाथ ढलते गए सांचों में तो थकते कैसे
नक़्श के बाद नए नक़्श निखारे हम ने
की ये दीवार बुलंद और बुलंद और बुलंद
बाम ओ दर और ज़रा और सँवारे हम ने
आंधियां तोड़ लिया करती थी शमओं की लवें
जड़ दिए इस लिए बिजली के सितारे हम ने
आंधियां तोड़ लिया करती थी शमओं की लवें
जड़ दिए इस लिए बिजली के सितारे हम ने
बन गया क़स्र तो पहरे पे कोई बैठ गया
बन गया क़स्र तो पहरे पे कोई बैठ गया
सो रहे ख़ाक पे हम शोरिश ए तामीर लिये

अपनी नस नस में लिये मेहनत ए पैहम की थकन
बन्द आँखों में इसी क़स्र कि तस्वीर लिये
अरे, दिन पिघलता है उसी तरह सरों पर अब तक
रात आँखों में खटकती है सियह तीर लिए

आज की रात बहुत गर्म हवा चलती है
आज की रात न फुटपाथ पे नींद आएगी
सब उठो
मैं भी उठूँ
तुम भी उठो
तुम भी उठो
कोई खिड़की इसी दीवार में खुल जायेगी

When the song “baat koi matlab ki” from Apradhi Kaun (1957) was posted here yesterday, one of the comments on it – from Arunji – referred to another song, “phir wohi dard hai”, from this film that had not yet been posted.

I immediately responded to that comment, saying I would post this song too at the earliest.

Hullo to all Atulites

Morning times are the times when people generally listen to Bhajans and Pravachans and I am no different. Till a few years back my mornings used to begin with switching on the radio to Vividh Bharati or Radio Ceylon and music used to play through the day. Then the FM channels took over and there used to be a Channel Switching (or changing if I may say) exercise in between the various radio programmes and my own work activities. To add to the confusion, suddenly, TV went 24 hours along with giving us a bouquet of music channels to listen to. And then what happens to a music Buff like me? It was and is the biggest distraction for me especially during working hours.

She is all of 16 years when she makes her debut on the silver screen. The year is 1952, and the film – a Bangla production ‘Roshnara’, directed by Ardhendu Bose. Fast forward to couple of decades later. The year is 1971, and she is romancing Raj Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Sanjeev Kumar, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan on screen. A graceful on screen presence, with an impressive portfolio of powerful performances behind her, she belongs to that extra special club of leading ladies that ruled the silver screen from 1950s to the 1970s – Meena Kumari, Nutan, Sadhna, Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, Vijayntimala. . . – all an exclusive group.
