Sometime in early 1980s, I had heard a non-film song, ‘mohe aayee na jag se laaj…..ke ghunghroo toot gaye’ which was rendered by Pankaj Udhas. At that time, I did not think much about this song but its hook line ‘ke ghunghroo toot gaye’ periodically reminded me of the song. After the death of Pankaj Udhas in 2024, his old non-film songs started ‘bumping up’ on the video sharing platforms during which I heard this song in full after many years and liked it, more so because of its lyrics. Since then, I was planning to cover this non-film song for the Blog. But I was not sure about the genesis of this song, particularly when I came to know that the song was written by Pakistani poet and lyricist, Qateel Shifai. So, I kept the song in hold until I got some clarity about it. After doing some reseach on the internet, I am now in a position to write the article on the song.

Today’s song is from the film Aabshar-1953.

For a long time, I just wondered as to what was the meaning of this word Aabshar. Then I looked into an Urdu-English dictionary and found out that it means’ Waterfall’ or “things coming all at a time” or ‘a Cascade’. Obviously, it was about the film’s story. This was a social film. The story revolved around a good looking simple village girl-Nimmi and a young, rich, city educated man Rajkumar, who falls in love with her during one of his visits to his hometown. The brother of the girl-Tiwari, is against this affair as he has already consented to the love of his friend for his sister. However Nimmi hates him. To add to all this, there is a murder in the village, for which the Hero is held responsible. Of course, all is well, at the end of the movie the real culprit is found to be the girl’s brother only. All is well, before the words ‘ The End ” appear on the screen, to the relief of the audience.

I have had the link and lyrics of this song saved in my files for some months now.  The month of July 2023 was a month of heavy rains and floods in many parts of India.  We had incessant rains in Mumbai also, where it was raining day and night, with a few breathers in between.
