Dua’a (A prayer)
——————————–

O Allah, we seek refuge in Allah from a knowledge that does not benefit
And from a heart that is not humble
And a soul that is satisfied
And from a dua’ that is not heard
O The Most Generous.
O Allah we ask you for beneficial knowledge
And good provision and deeds that are accepted
O The Most Merciful.
O Allah, make the best of our lives towards the end of it,
And the best deeds of our deeds the last ones,
And the best of our days the day we meet You,
While You are satisfied with us
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah we ask you for a pure life
And a good end,
And a return that is neither shameful nor disgraceful
O The Most Generous
Our Lord do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred,
Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us,
Our Lord and do not burden us with which we have no ability to bear,
And Pardon us
And pardon us
And forgive us and have mercy upon us,
You are our Protector
So give us victory over the disbelieving people
Our Lord, indeed we have believed
So forgive our sins
So forgive our sins, and protect us from the punishment of the fire,
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah make us of the patient ones
O Allah make us of the truthful ones
O Allah make us of the obedient ones
O Allah make us of those who spend(for the sake of Allah)
O Allah make us of those who seek forgiveness
Forgive all of our sins
Forgive all of our sins
The small and the big
The first and the last ones
Secret ones and the ones done publicly
Forgive what we have put forth and what we have sent behind
What we did in secret and what we did in public
And what You know better than us
You are the Expediter and the Delayer
There is no God but You
Our Lord, we ask you for faith that does not turn back
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends

And the company of our beloved Muhammad(pbuh)
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
O the Lord of the worlds
Our Lord,
And our Creator
And our Provider
Indeed every night You free people from the hell fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
O Lord of the worlds
O the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,
O the Most Generous, The Beneficent Bestower of bounties
O The Most Kind, The Most Loving,
O The Most Compassionate, Merciful of the world
O You, whose mercy encompasses everything,
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And all our Muslim men and Muslim women
And the believing men and believing women
(free them) By Your Mercy,
O The Most Merciful
Our Lord
Our Lord
And our creator
Your sevants besides us are many!
And we have no Lord but You to Whom we can invoke
And we stand between Your hands
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hypocrisy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hatred
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from envy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from pride
O Allah, do not leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye
Or even less than that
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
By your mercy, we seek help
Set right for us all our affairs
And do not abandon us to ourselves for the blinking of an eye(ie a moment)

Hullo Atuldom

Vyas etc. playing supporting characters.

Today’s song is a marching song from the film ‘Veer Babruwahan’ (1950).

Now, the name ‘Babruwahan’ is a strange name and I am sure most readers have never heard it, at least those who are below 60 years of age. I heard his story for the first time from my grandfather when I was about 8 years old. Being an odd name and sounding even funny, it remained in my memory. Later I found his story in the 14th parvaThe Ashwamedha Parva of Mahabharat in the subparva 91-92.

A very Happy MAHASHIVRATRI to all our readers.

On this auspicious occasion, I am presenting a Shiv bhajan from the film Swami Vivekanand-1955.

There were two Hindi movies made on Swami ji. One was made and released in 1955 and the other was made in 1994 (released in 1998). There was also the movie The Light : Swami Vivekanand in 2013. It was made in Hindi, Bangla, Tamil and English. There were movies in Telugu and of course in Bangla also. Today’s film was made by Amar Mullick Production. It was produced by actress Bharati Devi (Amar Mullick’s wife) and Phani Mullick (Amar’s brother). The film was directed by Amar Mullick himself. The film was made simultaneously in Bangla and Hindi. All artistes were from Bengal. The Music Director was Rai Chand Boral.

Today’s song is a duet by Rafi and Chitalkar from the social comedy film Hangama-1952.

This is my 1300th post on this Blog. Is it for real ? It is too difficult for me to accept that I have written 1300 posts on old film songs. How did it happen ? If someone had predicted, when I was 71 year old, that I would write a New Chapter in my life and achieve few Milestones, that my name will be known to many people all over India and other countries, and that I will even write a couple of books…. and all this on old films and its music, I would have laughed aloud for a long time ! But it did happen !!

Today’s song is a duet from the film Shrikrishna Bhakti-1955.

This was a Mythological film (पौराणिक ), directed by the “Trick Magician” – Babubhai Mistri. The music director was the Melody Maker – Chitragupta. The cast of the film was Manmohan Krishna, Lalita Pawar, Mahipal, Bipin Gupta, B.M.Vyas, Dalpat and many others. A special feature of this film was that there were as many as 7 “Guest Appearance ” artistes – clearly a record number for any film till then. I doubt very much if any other film has broken this record. Any reader, who knows about more than 7 Guest artistes in a film, mentioned in the HFGK, so far, may please give the information in the Comments column. The Guest artistes in this film were….Krishna Kumari, Anwar Hussain, Maruti, Shaikh, Indira bansal, Bagala and Chitalkar (surprised with this name !).

Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).

The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Rocket Girl’ (1962).

Man has always been curious about other planets and the other worlds. His attempts to know more about them have been known since the Vedic Times, i.e. about 5000 years ago. Our religious books describe the various celestial bodies and there are many stories told about them. However, the modern human quest, in reality, started first when during the II World War, Germany developed a rocket to carry missiles over a long distance. The Germans called it the V2 rocket. From this was developed the first ever rocket which went into space for a short period in 1942.

‘Hatimtai’ (1956) was produced under the banner of Basant Pictures and was directed by Homi Wadia. The cast included Jairaj, Shakila, Meenakshi, BM Vyas, SN Tripathi, Krishna Kumari, Menaka, Sheikh, Vasant Pehlwan, Dalpat, Sardar Mansoor, Habib, Mithoo Miya, Aga Shapoor, Ranibala etc. The film was made in Gevacolour which was an additional attraction for cinegoers those days. It was one of the most talked about films, may be because of its special effect scenes.
