Today’s song is from a film of the Golden Era-Sandesh-1952.

This film was made by Sandesh pictures and its producer’s name was also Sandesh Adhikari. Luckily, the director was not any Sandesh. It was Bal Gajbar, a director not known in Hindi cinema, but he was a celebrated director in Marathi films. he did only 3 films in Hindi as a director namely, Mere Laal-1948, Sandesh-1952 and Gokul ka Raja-1954….his last film in Hindi.It’s Marathi original was Gokulcha Raja ( गोकुळचा राजा ) made in 1950, which was also directed by Bal Gajbar only.

I am in my tenth year of the association with this lovely blog. I think I have mentioned this in one of my earlier posts. When I started sending ‘lyrics contributions’ to Atul ji in ‘2012’ and subsequently in ‘2013’ & ‘2014’ I was sending many songs in a single day. At that time the blog was ‘clocking’ four to six posts in a single day. However the number of posts got reduced subsequently. Nowadays we have only ‘one post or song in a day’ 😊

Now, when I go through the list of songs pending from those days, even I am surprised how I was able to send ‘many’ songs in those days. Well, the subject of today’s post is one such song which is still pending from that list.

THE VIBRANT 40s.(Episode No. 8)
———————————–
This post is coming after a break of almost 10 days or so. It was not a ‘Commercial Break’, but was a ‘Duty break’ ! We like to engage ourselves in the olden times, but the newer generation wants to enjoy Today’s life Today…or even earlier, if possible. Everyone seems to be in a hurry these days. I had to bow down to family pressures and go on a trip, down to KERALA. Of course it did a lot of good to me. Away from the Computer, FB and the Whatsapp, the days were spent in the company of family members, in ” The God’s Own Country”-Kerala. It did refresh me to the extent that after a gap of almost 60 years, I tried swimming again. To my own surprise, I could swim comfortably and the family heaved a sigh of relief ! All of them were unitedly against my determination of swimming with grandchildren ” at THIS age ” !!!. (My swimming Video is posted on my FB page).

Tum mere pass hote ho goya
Jab koi doosra nahi hota

Most of the readers of this blog may have known this she’r albeit with a minor variation in the song o mere shaah e khubaan written by Hasrat Jaipuri in ‘Love in Tokyo’ (1966). But how many of us would have known ( including me until few months back) that this original she’r was written by Momin Khan ‘Momin’, one of the prominent Urdu poets in the Mughal court during early 1800s. And what a beautiful romantic she’r!. Mirza Ghalib who was the contemporary and a close friend of Momin is reported to have offered his entire ‘Diwan e Ghalib’ for Momin’s this she’r, one among the nine she’rs in his ghazal ‘asar usko jaraa nahin hota’.

In Hindi movies, mujra songs are quite common, especially in Hindi movies of 1950s to 1970s. When one looks at the lyrics of these mujra songs, one finds that the lady, who is supposedly from the poorer and lesser educated section of society, uses quite sophisticated and high sounding words and highly evolved thoughts in her mujra songs.
