Today’s song is from an obscure, social film-Deep Jalta Rahe-1959.
India has been, from the beginning, a prolific producer of films.Films have become an inseparable part of Indian people. Earlier there were other sources of entertainment like Radio, dramas, travel, Jatras, get togethrs etc. But now Entertainment means only films.
In January 2022, Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji of Jodhpur- a well known Musicologist and a collector of exclusive records- published some statistics on RMIM forum about Hindi films. According to it, the total number of Hindi films from 1931 to June 2017 (86.5 years) was 12891, giving an average of 150 films per year. The averages per decade till the year 2000 came to 134 films, but in the next 16.5 years the number of films was 208.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. I came across this movie title while browsing the ‘List-of-songs-moviewise’ on the blog during my regular browsing on the blog.
Music of this movie is composed by the genius music composer Roshan. Only two of its songs are posted on this blog. Out of curiosity, I looked at the remaining songs of this movie. I do not remember to have listened to the songs associated with this title. I was only aware of same movie title from the year 1982. I will take up the songs of this same name of eighties later.
‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’ was a social movie which was directed by Satish Nigam for ‘Filmistan Limited, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959. The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P. Kailash, Badri Prasad, Agha, Savita Chatterjee, Lata, Sushil Kumar, Murad, Noorjahan, Narbada Shankar, Tiger (Dog), Munshi Khanjar and others.

ہر ایک بات پہ کہتے ہو تم کہ تو کیا ہے
تمہیں کہو کہ یہ انداز گفتگو کیا ہے
نہ شعلہ میں یہ کرشمہ نہ برق میں یہ ادا
کوئی بتاؤ کہ وہ شوخ تند خو کیا ہے
یہ رشک ہے کہ وہ ہوتا ہے ہم سخن تم سے
وگرنہ خوف بد آموزی عدو کیا ہے
چپک رہا ہے بدن پر لہو سے پیراہن
ہمارے جیب کو اب حاجت رفو کیا ہے
جلا ہے جسم جہاں دل بھی جل گیا ہوگا
کریدتے ہو جو اب راکھ جستجو کیا ہے
رگوں میں دوڑتے پھرنے کے ہم نہیں قائل
جب آنکھ ہی سے نہ ٹپکا تو پھر لہو کیا ہے
وہ چیز جس کے لیے ہم کو ہو بہشت عزیز
سوائے بادۂ گلفام مشک بو کیا ہے
پیوں شراب اگر خم بھی دیکھ لوں دو چار
یہ شیشہ و قدح و کوزہ و سبو کیا ہے
رہی نہ طاقت گفتار اور اگر ہو بھی
تو کس امید پہ کہیے کہ آرزو کیا ہے
ہوا ہے شہہ کا مصاحب پھرے ہے اتراتا
وگرنہ شہر میں غالبؔ کی آبرو کیا ہے
हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम कि तू क्या है
तुम्हीं कहो कि ये अंदाज़-ए-गुफ़्तुगू क्या है
न शो’ले में ये करिश्मा न बर्क़ में ये अदा
कोई बताओ कि वो शोख़-ए-तुंद-ख़ू क्या है
ये रश्क है कि वो होता है हम-सुख़न तुम से
वगर्ना ख़ौफ़-ए-बद-आमोज़ी-ए-अदू क्या है
चिपक रहा है बदन पर लहू से पैराहन
हमारे जैब को अब हाजत-ए-रफ़ू क्या है
जला है जिस्म जहाँ दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख जुस्तुजू क्या है
रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं क़ाइल
जब आँख ही से न टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है
वो चीज़ जिस के लिए हम को हो बहिश्त अज़ीज़
सिवाए बादा-ए-गुलफ़ाम-ए-मुश्क-बू क्या है
पियूँ शराब अगर ख़ुम भी देख लूँ दो-चार
ये शीशा ओ क़दह ओ कूज़ा ओ सुबू क्या है
रही न ताक़त-ए-गुफ़्तार और अगर हो भी
तो किस उमीद पे कहिए कि आरज़ू क्या है
हुआ है शह का मुसाहिब फिरे है इतराता
वगर्ना शहर में ‘ग़ालिब’ की आबरू क्या है
No need to say here that the above ghazal is the kalam of Mirza Ghalib. His takhallus is his signature in the last Shair. Like the painters sign at the bottom of the canvas. Newer trend here is the thumb impression, biometric is the new signature. Going back in time.
The trigger for the above ghazal is here in the last stanza of this song:
aakaash se taare toot padey
aankh se tapki jo meri daastaan

Naa to kaarwaan ki talaash hai,

Clickbait?
Not really.
The above qawwali couplet from Barsaat ki Raat (1960) is quite viral these days. This post is however on the genius music director who composed the well-known qawwali.
Roshan Lal.
I have provided the qawwali link above, so that readers can enrich their knowledge regarding the origins and making of the popular number. There are many comments by knowledge readers in the article which give a lot of information.
And, as is my habit, here is a digression.

Today’s lovely song is in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur and it is from the movie ‘Coffee House-1957’.
‘Coffee House-1957’ was passed by the Censor Board on 26.03.1957. This movie was directed by Hari Walia who was also the producer of this movie, for Neeti Art Productions, Bombay. The cast of this movie had Geeta Bali, Shammi Kapoor, Vijaylakshmi, Chanchal, Jeevan, Kumud Tripathi, Pal Sharma, Rajan Kapoor, Bhagwan, Helen, and others.
It has been mentioned in a previous post on the blog that the prints of this movie were lost. I guess that there is very less information available about this movie and its songs. Obviously no videos of this movie are available.
‘Coffee House-1957’ has eight songs in it. Prem Dhawan penned six songs. Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri wrote one song each. Music for this movie was composed by Roshan.
The singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, Geeta Dutt and Suman Kalyanpur which means all the songs in this movie were sung by female singers. Not only that, these songs are all female solo songs. One of these songs has female chorus as well.
The song unde discussion is that song which has female chorus accompanying the main singer viz. Suman Kalyanpur.
This is the only song in this movie in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur. Other songs are sung by Asha Bhonsle (four songs) and Geeta Dutt(three songs).
Three songs from this movie have been covered on the blog so far. Today we are going to listen to the fourth song from this movie ‘Coffee House-1957’. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist and music is composed by Roshan.
Let us now listen to this joyous dance song.

In this article, I have taken up for discussion the tragic story of the first super star of the Marathi stage and films whom I had followed during his rise in Marathi stage and films in my younger days. He was stated to be the highest paid actor – both for stage and films – during 1960s and 70s. A series of his Marathi stage plays, and films brought him stardom and a massive fan following. He also worked in two major Hindi films as second lead actor during his period of stardom. However, he could not handle his sudden adulations and glamour. The result was that he became arrogant, unprofessional and finally alcoholic. In 1983 onwards after reforming himself, his stage career was on the pick up when he suddenly passed away. The name of that actor was Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar.
