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.

I remember well that, in 2015, only one song from this movie was available on internet, however now all songs from this movie are available (but in audio format only).

Today’s song is from the film Pyar ki Baaten-1951.
The year 1951 was a mixed affair. After the end of II WW and especially after our Independence, there was a flood of people with Black money to produce films, earn profits and convert Black money to white money. This caused several films of low quality being made. Some of them tried to make copies of Hollywood films too. Luckily, everything wasn’t that bad and few good films also were made.
