Today’s song is a song sung by Kishore kumar in his inimitable style, from the film Dilli Ka Thug-1958.
1958 was the year when so many musical films came. One could see the excellence of lyricists and the art of the Music Directors making those songs popular. In those days the active lyricists were Shakeel Badayuni, Sahir Ludhianvi, Shailendra, Majrooh, Hasrat Jaipuri, Bharat Vyas, Rajendra krishna, Prem Dhawan, Kaifi Azmi, Pradeep to name a few.
Composer kalyan ji debuted as an independent MD, for the film ‘Samrat Chandragupt’, in which a song written by Nirupa Roy was used. Iqbal Qureshi entered films with ” Panchayat”. Anand Bakshi debuted with ‘Bhala Aadmi’ and continued for another 45 years, becoming one who wrote maximum number of songs for Hindi films.
This was also the year in which, due to a misunderstanding, the long standing bond between Rajendra krishna and C.Ramchandra was broken and it became an additional reason for C Ramchandra’s downfall from his successful musical career. In this year 3 Qawalis became Hits. First was ‘Sadhana’s ‘ Aaj kyun humse parda hai’. The other 2 qawalis were from B and C grade fils. ‘Jungle Princess’ had the first ever qawali’ Adaayen teer hain’, which was a competition between Males and females. The third one was a real surprise. Film ‘Al Hilal’ gave ” Hamen to loot liya hai milke husn walon ne”, composed by Bulo C Rani.
Nargis- Sunil Dutt got married on 11th March and Shashi Kapoor- Jeniffer got married on 2nd July. Old time actors Gope and Yaqub expired. Devika Rani got Padmashree.
Some of the popular and Hit films were Aakhri Dao-Madan Mohan, Aji Bas Shukriya – Roshan, Amar Deep-C.Ramchandra, Chalti ka naam gaadi, Kala pani, Sitaron se aagey and Solva Saal – S.D.Burman, Dilli ka Thug-Ravi, Howrah Bridge, Phagun and Ragini- O.P.Nayyar, Lala Rukh and Phir Subah Hogi- Khayyam, Madhumati-Salil Chaudhari, Parvarish-Dattaram, Sadhana-N.Datta, Yahudi-Shankar-Jaikishen etc etc.
Dilli ka Thug-1958 was prodominently a Kishore Kumar film.
Kishore Kumar came to Bombay to become a singer, but he was forced by the circumstances to become a comedy actor. For Kishore Kumar, his dream of becoming a singer was looking bleak. Instead of singing, he was getting offers to do comic roles in films. It was only Dada Burman who dared to cast Kishore as the Playback singer for Dev Anand. The first ever song he sang for Dev Anand was ” Mere labon mein chhipe”-Baazi-51. However, it was not until his song in Munimji-55 ” Jeevan ke safar mein raahi” that he proved he was a singer first and actor next. Out of all 12 songs of Munimji, only this song was the most popular and hummable. In Funtoosh-56,Dada gave him ” Dukhi man mere”.By now Kishore was out of Saigal’s shadow. The song clicked, but not Kishore, because in that period he had heaps of acting offers and there was no time for concentrating on singing. He settled for singing his own songs and those songs for Dev which Dada gave him occasionally.
When Kishore kumar was trying very hard to establish himself in the film industry, at least as a comedy hero-if not a singer, it was Dada Burman who helped him by giving him songs in almost every film of his in the 50s.
Dada was an experimentalist and had judged Kishore very well. He knew that Kishore was a talented artiste, though without formal training in music. In the days when the music was serious and classical oriented, there were no takers for Kishore except Dada Burman. Kishore had a plain voice and had nothing else except his spontaneity in front of the mike to help him.
S D Burman was a path breaker. There are few instances of Dada going against the tide and winning ! The trend in the film industry was to use one singer for one actor in one film. Like, Mukesh for Raj Kapoor, Kishore for Rajesh khanna or Rafi for Dilip or later on for Shammi kapoor etc. Dada did not subscribe to this theory. He would use the singer depending on the mood of the song and situation of the song in the film. No matter if he has to use more singers for one Hero in One film.
Thus, Manhar, Kishore and Rafi sang for Amitabh in Abhimaan and Rafi, Kishore and Manna Dey sang for Dev Anand in Manzil. He had tried Kishore on Raj Kapoor in Pyar-50. In Sagina, Kshore sang for Dilip Kumar.
Kishore Kumar is the only singer in the world to have sung songs for three generations of actors from one family-TWICE !
He sang song “Bainya chhodo” for Mumtaz Ali, father of Mehmood-for whom Kishore sang many songs and in film Yehi hai Zindagi, Kishor sang for Mehmood’s son Lucky Ali.
He sang for Raj Kapoor in Pyaar-50, then he sang many songs for his son Rishi Kapoor. In the 2008 film, ” Bachna ae Haseeno”- Kishore Kumar song- Bachna ae Haseena was lip synched by Rishi Kapoor’s son, Ranbir Kapoor.
Despite the outstanding success of ”Padosan”-68, Kishore remained where he was- neither an actor nor a singer. The turning point came in 1969. S D Burman was composing music for ‘Aradhana’. He had already recorded 2 duets of Rafi and then Dada Burman fell seriously ill. He handed over the reins of music of this movie to his son R D Burman. Dada had already made the tunes. R D had only to make the recordings. Fresh from the success of Padosan and the songs of Kishore in that film, R D decided to record 2 solos and 1 duet with Lata in Kishore’s voice. Dada was not at all in a position to even protest and R D had never preferred Rafi over Kishore.
Kishore recorded the songs and ”the rest is History” as they say. In the 21st year of his film career, finally, Kishore had achieved what he had been dreaming of. Now every other composer wanted only Kishore and not Rafi. R D Burman had quietly brought a revolution in HFM, hoodwinking all, even his own father ! On his part, Kishore too had matched Rajesh Khanna’s screen presence with vitality and freshness in the songs of Aradhana. The success of Aradhana-not only its songs, but also a successful popular film with the most ordinary plot ever, was so much that people forgot that Hemant Kumar too had used Kishore Kumar for Rajesh Khanna in 1969 only itself in film Khamoshi, for the song” Voh shyam kuch ajeeb thi”. But this classic song from Hemant Kumar was swept away in Aradhana floods.
With ‘Aradhana’, Kishore’s second Golden period started-1970 to 1975, from 1970 to 1985, it is called Kishore Yug in HFM, but the melodious songs which he sang during the 6 years, i.e. 70-75 were really his best. Even after that Kishore did give some good songs, but,as he himself said in an interview ” the real music ended with 1975. Later on it was only factory production on line”. During 1970 to 1985 he sang more than 1800 songs in 764 films. You can imagine the quality of songs in later years.
Kishore had waited for 21 years to become a Singer, and he did become one, he sang only for 18 years !
it is a coincidence that one of the actors in Film Dilli ka Thug had also come to films to become a singer- and he had recorded some songs too- but ended up as an actor. The name may be unexpecte for most readers. He was IFTEKHAR !
Sayyadana Iftekhar Ahmed Shareef was born in Jallundhar on 26-2-1922. His father was a big gun in a private company at Kanpur, so his education upto Matriculation took place in Kanpur. Then he went to Lucknow to do a Diploma in Painting. He was very fond of singing and wanted to become a singer like the legendary Saigal. Naturally , he went to Calcutta to gain entry into singing . There he met Kamal Dasgupta who was impressed with his personality and mannerisms.
He not only recorded 2 of his songs, but also recommended his name as an actor to his production company. In 1944, Iftekhar was taken as an actor in the film Taqraar, opposite actress Jamuna. Next year, he did Ghar-45 and also Rajlakshmi-45- in which Talat Mehmood also acted and sang songs. During this period he fell in love with a Jew Girl- Hanna Joseph, who stayed in his building. Iftekhar broke his earlier engagement to Sayeeda from Lucknow and got married to Hanna, after converting her to Islam. Sayeeda never married in her lifetime after this break up. He got 2 daughters.
After 1947, his family had migrated to Pakistan, but he chose to remain in India. By that time he had done 2 more films, namely, Aisa Kyun and Tum aur Main. He decided to shift to Bombay due to riots in Calcutta in 47-48. In Bombay, he had no work and faced a lot of problems. His wife had to do a job for sustenance. Iftekhar was recognised and helped by Ashok Kumar. He was given a role in the film Muqaddar-50. Being a good painter, Iftekhar taught Painting to Ashok Kumar. In the next 20 years, he did 70 films.
Then came the film Ittefaq-1969, in which he did the role of a Police Officer. This film changed his life and there was no looking back. Films like Zanjeer, Deewar etc further augmented his image and he was well entrenched. He bought a house, car etc. His daughters got married. Iftekhar acted in 318 films in all.
After his younger daughter’s death, Iftekhar was a broken man. He fell ill and within a month’s time, he died on 1-3-1995.
It is written in many places on the Internet, that Iftekhar was the brother of actress Veena. It is NOT true. His only sister Shameem got married and migrated to Lahore, in 1947, where she died recently. Veena’s brother Iftekhar was a different person who got embroiled in the love affair of actress Suraiya.

With today’s song video, film Dilli ka Thug-1958 becomes an YIPPEE film, having all its songs covered here. Enjoy….

Today’s song is from a film which is as old as 66 years – Dilli ka Thug-1958. The film was produced and directed by S.D.Narang and the music was composed by Ravi – who had become an independent composer with the film Vachan in 1955. The songs were written by S.H.Bihari, Shailendra and Majrooh Sultanpuri. The cast of the film was Kishore Kumar, Nutan, Smriti Biswas, Amar, Madan Puri, Iftekhar, Krishnakant, Protima Bedi, Mirajkar and many others.
This was one of the songs from the period which can be called “Comedian Kishore Kumar Era”. During the period 1953 to 1968, Kishore acted as a Leading man in 68 films ! This means, on an average, there was one Kishore film every 3 months during these 15 years. Quite a fast track performance !.
Film industry attracted many people from far and near. There were people from every corner of India who wanted to join the film industry. If you analyse what type of people joined films, you get roughly the following picture….
Most people who worked in the Film industry in any field- be it acting, direction, composing music, dancing, producing, in fact any department-joined the industry on their own.
However, there was also a class of artistes who were forced by the circumstances to work in the film industry- for example, the Mangeshkar sisters.
Then there were artistes who were forced by their near ones to join the film industry, like Meena Kumari, Husn Banu, Mumtaj Shanti or Madhubala,for example.
And there were artistes who came on their own to build a career in the film industry, like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Sapru, Jeevan etc.
Few artists joined the industry because it was the family tradition, like Raj Kapoor, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor etc..
Then there were also some artistes who had never dreamt of it, but had to enter the acting field, like Ashok Kumar, Ranjan, Motilal, E.Bilimoria etc., for example.
Kishore Kumar was fond of singing from childhood. Without formal training, he had a natural gift of a good voice, sense of music and a good understanding of singing. When elder brother Ashok Kumar became an actor and sang in films, he too wanted to become a singer, but was forced to become an actor in the beginning of his film career. His brother Ashok Kumar, who was an Astrologer by hobby, had predicted that he would never become a singer !
While in school and in college in Khandwa, he would sing by charging 4 Annas for a Saigal song and 1 Anna for a Ashok Kumar song. In later days, rate for a Saigal song was raised to one rupee but Ashok Kumar rate remained at 1 Anna only ! Kishore Kumar came to Bombay to meet Saigal, but ended up doing a small role in the film Shikari-1946. His name was at No. 7 in the film credits.
Interestingly, 1946 was a year when many artistes- almost 30 odd-made their Debuts in different departments of filmmaking. Some of them are Hansraj Behl-Pujari, Snehal Bhatkar- Rukmini Swayamvar, Vinod-Paraye Bas Mein, Indivar- Double Face, Tasneem- Kuldeep, Shashi- Neera and Nanda, Baby Tabassum- Nargis, Nigar Sultana-Rangbhoomi, Cuckoo as a heroine with the name Kishori-Sona Chandi, Nirupa Roy-Amar Raj, Geeta Bali- Badnami, Geeta Roy- Bhakta Prahlad, K.A.Abbas, Ravi shankar, Balraj and Damayanti Sahni-Dharti ke Laal, Meena kapoor- Eight Days, Sudhir Phadke- Gokul, P.L.Santosi as a Director, Dev anand, Rehman, Rehana, Kamla Kotnis-Hum ek hain, Ram Ganguli-Maharana Pratap, Abhi Bhattacharya- Milan, Chetan Anand, Uma Anand, Kamini Kaushal-Neecha Nagar, Majrooh Sultanpuri – Shahjehan, and S.D. Burman-Shikari.
After Shikari, Kishore Kumar did a Police Inspector’s role in Shehnai-47. Finally, in the film Ziddi-48 he sang 2 songs-1 solo and 1 duet with Lata (later they sang 320 duets). In the film Ziddi, he was also in the cast, though uncredited. He did the role of a Gardener, who passes witty remarks-2 or 3 times. He then acted in Sati Vijay-48. Then in Rimzim-49 and Pyaar-50 he got opportunities to sing songs. In 1950, in Muqaddar he acted and also sang songs. In Khiladi-50, he sang one song.
From 1948-2 songs, in 1949-3 songs and in 1950 10 songs. Thus by 1950 he sang just 15 songs. Then from 1951 to the end of 1953 he sang 56 songs, and then onwards his tally increased. Till 1968, he restricted his singing only to mostly himself and Dev Anand. I was his great fan till he became a fast Punjab Mail after Aradhana-1969. However, sometimes his old sweetness too was found in a few songs.
The producer and director of this film, S.D.Narang was one of the highly educated artiste in the film industry. Here is a story which is stunning and unbelievable ! A young man was born on 18-6-1918,at Lyallpur,Punjab. He studied hard and got higher education.First he did B.Sc., then completed M.B.B.S. and became a Medical Doctor. Later he submitted a Thesis and got his Ph.D. All this from Lahore Medical College. He also wrote some research papers and 2 books. With this sparkling education, he could have had a luxurious living,but he chose to join the uncertain Film World. True to his habit, he succeeded here too and became a Hero,Producer,Director,Studio owner , a Lyricist and a writer.
Yes, in the early era of the late 30s,when educated people were a rarity,this highly qualified young man came into films. His name was SATYA DEV NARANG or simply, S.D.Narang.(18-6-1918 to 25-1-1986 ). Here are some highlights of his life,adapted from the site http://www.sdnarangsfan.com…With thanks.
1. During his life, from 1918 to 1986, he served the Indian Film Industry, at three Capitals of this industry, Lahore (1936 to 1946), Calcutta (l947 to 1951) and Bombay (1952 to 1980), as hero, producer, director, writer and Studio owner.
2. He had the distinction of being the highest educated man in the film industry. He was B.Sc., M.B.B.S and Ph. D from Lahore Medical College.
3. He had the credit of being the debut making leading man of ‘ Khazanchi’ which was The First Indian Film to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.
4. He was the youngest leading man in Lahore, who played the lead in Khazanchi, Ravi Paar, Zamindar, Patwari, Gawandhi,Thekedar, Sahara,Yeh Hai Zindagi (his first venture as producer-director) and Kamini.
5. In Calcutta he produced ‘Chittagong Armoury Raid’, which was India’s ‘First Revolutionary Film’. He also produced Nai Bhabhi, Ek Raat, Aprajitha, and Chiner Putul and also played the leading roles in these films. Apart from his own movies, he played the lead in Iran Ki Ek Raat and Kajari,which were produced by outside producers.
6. After partition, he had to leave Lahore, like a Refugee, leaving all his assets and immovable property behind him. With his hard work and experience once again he was able to establish himself as the hero, producer, director, writer and Studio owner at Delhi. But the studio proved disaster in disguise for him. Being a soft hearted person, he was giving credit to the producers, who used to shoot their films in his studio. They duped him and he had to suffer heavy losses. With this bitter experience he left the city and entered the City of Dreams and the capital of Entertainment, Bombay, in 1952.
7. Being a passionate movie maker, Dr. S. D. Narang was able to get himself settled in Bombay, within a very short span of time. He had already dedicated himself to the silver screen. Once again he arose alive from his own ashes, like a Phoenix.
8. He made his presence felt in a big way in the big City of Bombay.
He produced and directed many films with big stars. In Tanhai and Darban he played the leading role himself. Some of the important films produced by him in Mumbai include, Arab Ka Saudagar, Yahudi Ki Ladki, Dilli Ka Thug, Sagai, Babul Ki Kaliyan, Do Thug, Ram Kasam, College Girl, Do Ustad, Kismatwala and Nishanebaaz. He had also produced Shehnai, which was India’s First Air-Force Film.
9. He was also the producer of Bombay Ka Chor, which was India’s First ‘Holiday-on-Ice’ movie.
10. He has also the credit of producing India’s First Under-water-movie, ‘Anmol Moti’ Jeetendra and Babita starrer.
11. The movie maker with Midas touch, Dr. S. D. Narang, had spent his 50 golden years of his cinematic profession, in the service of Silver Screen.(1936-86)
12, Before venturing into the film industry as the leading man, S. D. Narang, had an aptitude for research and while studying in Lahore Medical College, he did research on ‘Binocular Theory Of Vision’, which was published in his college Magazine. He bagged the Ph. D and became the Doctor of Philosophy, though he was already a Doctor of medicines.
13, Apart from being the author of a novel ‘Hippy Aur Yogi’ and ‘Human Psychology’, he had written a most praiseworthy book, ‘An Introduction To The Theory Of ‘Bio-Economics. It was actually a new approach to diagnosis and cure of Inflation and poverty. If applied to the present Global financial crisis, it can change the face of the fiscal fate of the World.
14. In 1960 he got married to actress of his time Smriti Biswas,with whom he had played the lead in many films. After her marriage she stopped signing new films, and decided to play the roles of faithful wife and caring mother. Still she prefers to prepare food for her beloved sons Rajiv Narang and Satyajeet Narang.
The story of the film Dilli ka Thug-1958, as I found on IMDB is this…..
“Dili Ka Thug” (Trickster of Delhi) is a movie revolving around Kishore (Kumar) who gambles and tricks people to make money. On being confronted by his mother, he decides to find a job and lands one in Mumbai, where he continues wooing Asha (Nutan). Kishore’s father and his friend were murdered by a notorious Anantram who now wears a mask to hide his true identity and continues manufacturing spurious medicines and also passes as Nutan’s uncle. The firm employing Kishore is run by Anantram and his two henchmen-Sevakram and Bihari. Anantram goes to murder Kishore in the hospital but drops his monocle which makes Iftekhar suspicious-he manages to take Anantram’s fingerprints on SohanLal’s wallet and figures out the truth. What follows is a dramatic air-borne sequence where Anantram is beaten by Kishore and shot by Nutan. Kishore manages to land the aeroplane after the pilots lose their consciousness…and as they say all’s well that ends well.
The first half of the movie is slow and would have been a drag but for the presence of the inimitable Kishore Kumar. The director makes up for the first half in the latter half of the movie as the events unfold quickly before the story reaches its climax. One also gets to listen to some very memorable songs-a water ballet “ye bahar ye sama, ye jhoomti jawaniyan” and then “hum to mohabbat karega..” followed by “CAT..” showing Kishore doing his hilarious earth-shaking moves and then the beautiful duet “ye raatein ye mausam..”
It’s like going back in time…only by 66 years and a sad realization that none of the actors who played a pivotal role in the movie are alive but their memory lingers on (other than the singer Asha Bhonsle).
Here is a song, sung by Asha Bhosle and chorus. Enjoy….
Song- Ye bahaar ye samaa ye jhoomti jawaaniyaan(Dilli Ka Thug)(1958) Singer- Asha Bhosle, Lyricist- S.H.Bihari, MD- Ravi
Chorus
Lyrics

bahak rahee hai is tarah husn ishq ki nazar
chala hai raah bhool ke jaise koi bekhabar
mastiyon mein doobti lo chali hai zindagi
kho gaya hai pyaar ke khwaab mein jahaan
ye bahaar ye samaa ye jhoomati jawaaniyaan
dekhiye kidhar kidhar jaiye kahaan kahaan

dekh aisa waqt phir miley na zindagaani mein
gori gori baahon ne laga di aag paani mein
kisne rang ghola hai
mauj ek shola hai
jal rahe hain aaj ye zameen o aasmaan
ye bahaar ye samaa
ye jhoomti jawaaniyaan
dekhiye kidhar kidhar
jaaiye kahaan kahaan
ye bahaar ye samaa
Seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 87
———————————————————————————–
Welcome all to the ‘Blog Ten-Year Challenge’ series where today we will have a song after a gap of almost a month. Last song posted under the ‘challenge’ was on 25.09.2020.
We missed some opportunities, but today hopefully we will have two songs in this challenge.
If we see the songs posted ten years back on this day (20.10.2010), we had only three posts on that day as given below;
| Song | Movie title-Year | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Aaj mere naseeb ne mujhko rulaa rulaa diyaa | Halchal-1951 | All songs covered |
| Bhajan binaa baawre | Rooplekha-1962 | 03 songs posted |
| Ham to muhabaat karegaa | Dilli Ka Thug-1958 | 05 songs posted |
So, one can see that the rate of posting had come down to averaging three posts a day unlike what it was during August’2010 and Septemeber’2010 where we saw the blog maintaining average six posts per day.
In this current month of October’2020 so far we have seen forty-seven posts till 19.10.2020 (i.e. averaging just little over two posts per day).
So, I was curious to check how the blog had been doing in the month of ‘October’ till now and here we have the details;
| SNo. | Month-Year | Total no of posts | Average per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Oct’2008 | 76 | 2.45 |
| 02 | Oct’2009 | 100 | 3.22 |
| 03 | Oct’2010 | 109 | 3.52 |
| 04 | Oct’2011 | 191 | 6.16 |
| 05 | Oct’2012 | 168 | 5.42 |
| 06 | Oct’2013 | 122 | 3.93 |
| 07 | Oct’2014 | 108 | 3.48 |
| 08 | Oct’2015 | 82 | 2.64 |
| 09 | Oct’2016 | 93 | 3.00 |
| 10 | Oct’2017 | 64 | 2.06 |
| 11 | Oct’2018 | 61 | 1.97 |
| 12 | Oct’2019 | 43 | 1.38 |
We can from the above details that in the current month the blog is still maintaining a better ‘run-rate’ (post-rate 😊) and we yesterday it saw as many as five posts occurring over the day.
Coming back to the today’s movies, today we have two movies viz. “Dilli Ka Thug-1958” and “Rooplekha-1962” eligible for posting a song under the ‘Blog Ten-Year Challenge-2010-2020’

Lyrics (Provided by Prakashchandra)
seekh le babu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaaddeen kaa
seekh le babu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
ek baar jo dekhe
woh ho jaaye deewaana
khaali nahin jaaye mere teer ka nishaanaa
seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
main pariyon ki shehzaadi
maine badla apna bhes re ae
le chhod ke apni nagari
main to aayee tere des rey
aajaa mil ke gaayein donon pyaar ka taraanaa
seekh le babu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
ye ankhiyaan gulaabi meri
ras ki hain pyaaliyaan
hai bijli ka rang mere honthon ki ye laaliyaan
door se dekhaa karo
mujhe tum haath na lagaana
seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
seekh le baabu pyaar ka jaadu
mere paas chiraag allaadeen kaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
aaaa…aaa…aaaaa…. aaaaa
Kisi ka dil lena ho

Hullo to all Atulwaasis
We had two opportunities to meet fellow Atulwaasis last year- one when guruji visited Bangalore and next when Avinashji visited. Both have given me lasting memories. I also liked Avinashji’s idea of getting Atul’s Banjaarey to sign an autograph with their thoughts to make up a Collage of Autographs. It was to show something about our interests or as Avinashji has said in his write up on the Gangout—Man Ki Baat. It has showed that most were in a philosophical mood and had unknowingly or unintentionally contributed to the thought (my own thinking too) “Zindagi kaisi hai paheli/ Kal kya hoga kisiko pata”- the very basis of a Banjaara’s (Nomad’s) life. One of the songs which I keep humming a lot also points to the same thought of Zindagi being a Paheli—and that song is Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu, Peeche Bhi Jaane Na Tu, Jo Bhi Hain Bas Yehi Ek Pal Hai.
