This song, I remember from many years ago, having heard it on the radio and then in collections of Talat Mehmood. Just browsing through the YouTube, I discovered this song again after a long time, and then an added bonus too. This song is also sung by Asha Bhosle in the same film.

Nashaad, not to be confused with Naushad, was born as Shaukat Ali. He began his career as a music director in Hindi movies in 1947. In his earlier movies, he was variously known as Shaukat Ali, Shaukat Dehalvi, Shaukat Hussain, Shaukat Haidari, Shaukat Hussain Haidari etc. It was in 1953 that film director cum lyricist Nakshab Jarachavi coined the name Nashad for him. The name brought him luck. In fact this name was adopted by his family members as their surname the way the desendents of music director Roshan adopted the name Roshan (first name of Roshanlal Nagrath) as their surname.

“Naghmaa” (1953) is a movie about which very little is known. The video of its songs are apparently not available so we only have audio of songs of this movie. I have so far discussed two songs from this movie.

Here is a song from “Naghma” (1953). Only the audio of this song is available so it is difficult to tell who the actor was on whom this song was picturised. For that matter I find it difficult to say who the singer is. All sources describe the voice as Shamshad Begam’s though the voice sounds rather different to me. Can anyone confirm/correct who the singer could be ?

I was not aware of this movie called “Naghma”(1953). Now I know about this movie and I wonder how the songs of this movie have managed to escape the attention of music lovers.
