Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 44
——————————————————————————————
Seven songs were posted ten years ago. The blog was in its childhood – “Bachpan Ke Din Bhi Kya Din The” 🙂 🙂 .
Only one of these seven was a debut song. The list given below has an interesting observation. All films that made an appearance that day, have since been yippeee’d. Except just the one that made its debut.
| Ye Duniya Hai Yahaan Dil Ka Lagaana Kisko Aata Hai | Shair | 1949 | 2nd | Yippeee’d |
| Aaj Gaawat Man Mero | Baiju Baawra | 1952 | 6th | Yippeee’d |
| Ae Kaash Chalte Mil Ke | Manzil | 1960 | 3rd | Yippeee’d |
| Ek Baat Kahoon Wallah Ye Husn Subhan Allah | Shrimaan Satyawaadi | 1960 | 2nd | Yippeee’d |
| Dukh Aur Sukh Ke Raaste Bane Hain Sabke Waaste | Hum Dono | 1961 | 5th | Yippeee’d |
| Aap Jabse Kareeb Aaye Hain | Noorjehaan | 1967 | Deb | 3 of 8 |
| Zindagi Khwaab Hai | Jaagte Raho | 1956 | 2nd | Yippeee’d |
The film is ‘Noorjehaan’ from 1967. Containing eight very wonderful melodies, it is surprising that only three of them have as yet appeared here. With compositions created by the mind of Roshan, there still are very wonderful numbers waiting in the wings for their turn.

Nightingale Noorjehaan – 2

I am trying to complete Noorjehan’s songs on this blog. The current film I am dealing with is ‘Hamjoli’. Since I have all her songs in MP3 form, I was searching readymade clips on internet – specially YouTube. Almost all the songs of ‘Hamjoli’ I found there and most of them are uploaded there by Vidur Suri. I had seen that name in comments of our blog and I contacted him, thinking that he might be a person if not in my age group but a person above 50 or 60. Imagine my shocking (but pleasant) surprise, when I came to know that he is a lad of just 17 years! I salute him for taking interest in rare songs of half a century old films. Most of the ‘ Hamjoli’ songs that I propose to include on this blog are available online courtsey of Vidur Suri.

Nightingale Noorjehaan – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
After a long long time I am trying to plunge again in Atul’s wonderful Blog. This presentation, is my sixtieth contribution.
I am going to track Noorjehan songs from the latest to the earliest and will try to complete, as far as possible, her wonderful contributions to Hindi Film Music. Her films of 1947 in our motherland, before she left for Pakistan were ‘Jugnu’ and ‘Mirza Sahiba’. All songs with her voice in these films are covered in this Blog. So I come to the year 1946. There were three films viz, ‘Hamjoli’, ‘Dil’ and ‘Anmol Ghadi’. Today I will start with ‘Hamjoli’.

Chaandni raaten – Song No. 17
————————————–
chandni raaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
sab jag soye
ham jaagen
taaron se karen baaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
This song has over the years been heard here and there. I was aware this is some remix song of an old song, just like the remix of the song ‘Kitni Akeli Kitni Tanhaa Si Lagi‘ from film ‘Talaash’ (1969). I used to think that ‘Kitni Akeli. . . ‘ song was a Kishore Kumar song and remixed. It was many years later that I heard the original Lata Mangeshkar song composed by SD Burman.

23rd December was the anniversary of passing away of two artists that have a significant contribution to the Indian cinema – singer Noorjehaan and music director K Datta.
Noorjehaan, born as Allah Wasai in 1926, was one of the eleven siblings born into a family of musicians and singers. Her parents, Madad Ali and Fateh Bibi encouraged her and at the age of six years, she learnt music at the feet of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. When she was nine, her talent caught the attention of Ghulam Ahmed Chishti, who brought her to stage programs in Lahore, in which she appeared as Baby Noorjehaan. She gained attention in Lahore, and was invited to sing and to play child roles in Punjabi films being produced in Lahore. She appeared in films like ‘Misr Ka Sitaara’ (1935), and played the role of child Heer, in the Punjabi film ‘Heer Sayaal’.

I am going down memory lane, to my school days. We would come back from school at 3:30 p.m. and at that time Vividh Bharati would be silent till 5:30 p.m. So we would put on the radio and searching for songs, invariably we found All India Radio (Urdu service) where they broadcast the programme “aap ki farmaish” which continued till 5 o’clock.

Raat ki mehfil sooni sooni
Posted on: March 16, 2012

After reading my own article on a song from NOOR JEHAN (1967) ‘ sharaabi sharaabi ye saawan ka mausam’ on this blog, I felt guilty for bypassing, in my view, the most beautiful song of this film ‘ raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar. In fact the very purpose of ascertaining whether this song was in my VCD or not was a precursor to write an article on this song. But somehow I was carried away by the availability of the video clip of the Suman Kalyanpur song. So I sat down for deciphering the lyrics of ‘raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ which was not a difficult task due to the clear audio and impeccable diction of Lata Mangeshkar.

I am not a keen watcher of period movies but do buy VCDs/DVDs of such movies mainly for watching the fabulous songs. Recently, I watched NOOR JEHAN (1967) with a view to ascertaining whether the VCD contained the only Lata Mangeshkar song ‘ raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ in it. In this process, I saw the entire movie. As I expected, the song was excluded from the VCD. In fact, it is said that this song was not included in the original print of the film. Despite some mindless cuts in the VCD version affecting the continuity of the screen play and the bad quality of video, I did not feel a total let down by the film. The story which I knew from the history books was interesting one from the point of view of cinematic presentation. The film was shot on lavish sets and outdoor locations in keeping with the period movie theme.

I have posted two songs from “Anmol Ghadi” (1946) in this blog, but that is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the music of this movie is concerned. The world has changed a great deal from the time the music of this movie was created, but the magic of its music sounds as fresh today as it must have 64 years ago.
