Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 28
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Of course yes. A repeat song again. And what a wonderful song at that.
The original song from the film ‘Hum Dono’ has become such an iconic fixture in the nostalgia, one of those peerless creations that may not be duplicated , maybe ever. It was the first and the only stint of music director Jaidev with Dev Sb’s Navketan banner. This singular partnership, with Sahir Sb writing the lyrics has given a bouquet of long and deep memories to generations of listeners.
In the original film, this song appears at the beginning of the film. And a very cute beginning too. No words, no dialogue – after the credits the first scenario is that the lead couple meets. Hero has been waiting, heroine is late, any and all exchange is just thru gestures and expressions. Together they fall into a slumber, and then the heroine wakes up and tries to leave without disturbing the hero. But the hero has clasped her ribbon in his hands, and wakes up as soon as the ribbon is pulled taut. And without saying a word, the song appears.
The song has become memorable and recognizable by the signature tinkling melody that is stored in a cigarette lighter. This is a very short and a very endearing aria, that is now printed in the memory of the lovers of Hindi film music. A little bit about this piece of music. This has been created using the musical instrument called Glockenspiel. It is a percussion instrument made from aluminium or steel bars arranged in a keyboard layout. Most of us would be familiar with a baby version of it, that is one of the most popular gift item for infants. From my inquiries about this piece of music, I have learnt this particular piece of music is played by the famous instrumentalist Kersi Lord. Kersi has been one of the lead multi instrument specialists in Indian cinema, and that too during the Golden Era of Hindi film music.
This endearing piece of music and the song has been reused in the film ‘Mausam’ from 2011. And to what a beautiful effect this song has been reused. Sadanand ji sent me a link for this song. I played it just for checking out, and truthfully saying, I have fallen in love with this reuse version.
‘Mausam’ of 2011 is a film that goes to many places. It is a very enchanting love story that tells the tale of two people in love, who belong to different religions. They are childhood friends. Their childhood is spent in rural Punjab, and Kashmir, in a time when the bon homie between neighbors and friends of all communities far outweighed the animosities that have been foisted on our society by the fundamentalist divisive forces.
The lead couple – Harry (full name Harinder Singh, role played by Shahid Kapoor) and Aayat (role played by Sonam Kapoor) fall in love in their teen years. Harry lives in Mallukot, a small village in Punjab. Aayat, whose family is in Kashmir, comes to visit her bua in the same village. The first interaction, and then more following – love develops between the two.
The story is not as much about family or societal resistance – rather not at all so. It is more about the political events that keep this couple apart for a long time. The period covered is roughly the decade starting from the demolition of Babri Masjid to the communal riots in Gujarat – roughly the period from 1992 to 2002. The story line moves across multiple geographies, going from Punjab to Bombay, to London, to New York, to Switzerland, back to India, ending up at Ahemdabad. The loving couple continue to meet at all these places, but the larger political events restrain them from coming to closer commitments. From Babri Masjid to Bombay bombings and riots, to Kargil War, to the 9/11 bombing of World Trade Center in New York, to the Ahmadabad riots of 2002.
The film is written and directed by Pankaj Kapoor (Shahid Kapoor’s father). Although criss-crossing many borders, the film does not stray. Pankaj Kapoor has kept a taut control over the progression of the story line. Only that one feels that too much of the world is crammed into a tale of love that waits.
Both the lead players have played somewhat controlled and introvert characters. The expressions of their emotional connect with each other is quite restrained and reserved – almost heart breaking. Harry joins the Indian Air Force, and that is where the Kargil War becomes part of the story-line. He is injured during action, and becomes partially paralyzed. At times unaware of each other’s tribulations, the lovers do not put any pressure of expectations on each other.
They keep meeting across geographies and across the calendar of significant events, and the circumstances and fate keep drawing them apart. The climax comes in the city of Ahmadabad, where Harry saves the life of Aayat, and overcomes his paralysis to rescue from a near fatal situation, a child girl of unknown parentage from a high rise Ferris wheel in an entertainment park.
The film has a happy ending with Harry going back into the Air Forcre, and the lovers come together and adopt the child girl they have rescued.
I had picked up the film just to view the situation in which this song has been reused. But I got curiously entangled with the story line and ended up viewing the entire film.
And I must admit that the use of this song in the situation is so endearingly more effective than the original. We are in London, Harry is on an official visit as part of an Air Force team. After the difficult times in Kashmir, Ghulam Rasool (Aayat’s father, role played by Kamal Chopra) migrates to London with his Hindu friend and neighbor Maharaj Kishan (role played by Anupam Kher). Quite frustrated by the political wranglings, the two families continue to be together. Chance encounter brings Aayat and Harry face to face. Harry invites Aayat to an official get together, after which he comes with her to drop her home. There is a meeting that gives a unmistakable flavor of “boy meeting the girl’s parents”. The conversation brings in the past somewhat, and an emotional Maharaj Kishan, playing with his cigarette lighter, presses it on. The endearing jingle is played, and for a moment all is silent. Then Harry comments that this tune sounds so familiar, but he can’t place the words. Ghulam Rasool talks about the film (‘Hum Dono’) and where he had seen it. As Harry is trying to recollect the lyrics, Aayat starts to sing them. She sings two lines. Harry is ready to depart. As Aayat walks to the main door with him, and he gets into the taxi to leave, the song continues in the background. We hear one stanza of the original song in this situation.
The reuse has been done so beautifully and so effectively. The words are playing in the background, and they are also playing in the facial expressions of Aayat, who is so clearly beseeching Harry not to leave just then. That exchange of glances between the two, the pauses as they are walking down towards the door, the earnest plea in Aayat’s eyes, and the understanding expression in Harry’s. One almost expects as if the story line would alter, and Harry stays back for some more time. But, after a pause, Harry gets into the taxi and leaves. The look of yearning, and frail vulnerability in Aayat’s eyes as the taxi departs, tells the complete story of their love.
In this reuse, the singing voice is that of Shreya Ghoshal. I must admit that I am completely bowled over by this version. There is no instrumental support at all. Shreya ji is singing without and music or rhythm support, and she has expressed this song oh so beautifully. If one is not persuaded to see the film, my recommendation is to at least see this song.
As I was searching online for this song, I also came across a longer two stanza version, but apparently that is not how it was used in the film. This version is a remix made from small clips from the film, which indicates that the song as sung by Shreya ji is a two stanza song, but in the film, only one stanza is used.
A song so endearingly rendered without music support, and a film that tells the story of love against the backdrop of geopolitical events. I just fell in love with both.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—————–-
#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (A tribute to Sahir Ludhianvi)
—————————————————————————————
Today 8th March’2023 is the 102nd birth anniversary of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.
He was born on this day in 1921 (08.03.1921) and left this mortal world on 25.10.1980.
Much and much has been written about Sahir Ludhianvi and his poems in print media, digital media and on this blog too.
There is nothing new that I am going to write now, but yes, there is still too much that the upcoming generations are going to read and understand about Sahir Ludhianvi. Sahir Ludhianvi has immortalized him in his timeless poems and classics on the wide ranging issues that are and will ever be relevant to humanity forever.
As long as ‘emotions’ will exist in ‘humans body’ Sahir’s poems will be sung and people will find their expressions in the words of Sahir. As long as people dream about a ‘better future’ and continue to ‘hope’ for a ‘new beginning’ Sahir’s words will be motivating them.
The latest in this series was the revival of Sahir’s songs in the movie ‘Chup-2022’.
Then there was a discussion in a group of Sahir Ludhianvi fans on a social media platform regarding relevance of Sahir’s poems in today’s world and the socio-political conditions existing in today’s world.
Well, I will also taking my thoughts further on Sahir’s poetry, its relevance to me as a ‘citizen’ and as ‘common man’ who loves ‘cinema’ and ‘HFM’, that I will be discussing in future on the blog.
For today, as a tribute to Sahir Ludhianvi we will listen to a song written by him for the movie ‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’.
‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’ was directed by Ram Maheshwary for ‘M.P.D. Productions’.
It was produced by V L Murlidhar.
It had Raj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Moushmi Chatterjee, Farida Jalal, Ranjeet, Nirupa Roy, Paintal, Gopal Sehgal, R. Tiwari, Usha Kiran, Peace Kanwal, Jagdish Raj, Nazir Hussain, Gufi, Paro Devi, Maruti, Uma Khosla, Raj Rani, Master Bhagwan, Gurucharan, Usha (Gwalior), Pandit Ganga Prasad (Gwalior), Mansaram, Master Rajesh, Master Rahul, Master Sonu, Master Rajiv, Baby Shaloo, and Manu Arora.
Pradeep Kumar makes a guest appearance in this movie, whereas Amjad Khan makes a special appearance in this movie.
Story of this movie was written by M.K. Tamanna and Screenplay was written by Benoy Chatterjee.
Dialogues of this movie were written by Sagar Sarhadi and Safdar Hussain. Additional Dialogues were by Ela Maheshwary.
Editing for this movie was done by D.N. Pai and M.S. Shinde.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.12.1979.
‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’ has eight songs, which were sung by Jagjit Kaur, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor and Mohd Rafi.
The following six songs have been posted from this movie earlier on the blog.
| Song | Posted On |
|---|---|
| Simti huyi ye ghadiyaan | 27.04.2012 |
| Chanda re mere bhaiyya se kehna | 02.08.2012 |
| Parmeshwar rakhwaalaa tera | 25.10.2014 |
| She’r ka husn ho | 09.12.2016 |
| Marta hai koi to mar jaaye | 30.01.2021 |
| Kaun hai mujrim kaun hai munsif | 18.02.2021 |
Today’s song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It is lip-synced on screen by Moushumi Chatterjee. It is a ‘female drunkard’ song where the lady is pretending to be drunk. It is my guess that she is trying to get the man to get intoxicated. Ranjeet is the drunk ‘male’.
We can also see Raj Kumar and one other actor (whom Raj Kumar guns down ) in the picturization of this song.
Let us listen to this ‘intoxicated’- song penned by Sahir, and beautifully sung by Lata Mangeshkar and equally beautifully composed by Khayyam Saab…

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –9
———————————————-
Let me begin this post with a disclaimer to make it more interesting.
If you are reading this post, it means the editors have gratefully accepted my take on the subject and for the inclusion of this NFS in the above quoted series.
The series Mukesh and his co-singers had begun with Mukesh’s association with Rafi saab. Thereafter, I have covered a total of 4 each male and female co-singers. Amongst male singers apart from Rafi saab, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey have been covered.
A very important name missing amongst male singers was of course Mahendra Kapoor who not only has some good number of songs with Mukesh, but also had a close and friendly relationship with him. The obvious reason for the delay of this post was the fact that all of the known 12 songs in which they collaborated had already been covered on the blog.
So what do I have in store in this post? Well, when the words “rare” and “Mukesh” appear together anywhere, I take them quite seriously and one of the first thoughts that comes to my mind is if the same has been represented on the blog or if there is any scope for its immediate inclusion.
Thus, a couple of months back, when Zafar bhai of Delhi shared the NFS of the combo from his invaluable collection, I knew I had a chance of making this post.
Before we go into the details as to how this post came about, here is the table of songs with all details and the respective links on the blog. The duo has a dozen songs in which they sang together (triads, quartets and a quintet included) and which are quite familiar and remembered to this day. I shall run through them without much detailing.
| S.No | Name of the Song | Movie (Year of release) | Other co-singers if any | Music Director | Lyricist |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kadam kadam se dil de | Chaar Dil Chaar Raahen (1959) | Manna Dey, Meena Kapoor | Anil Biswas | Sahir Ludhianvi |
| 2 | Hai aag hamaare seene mein | Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai (1960) | Geeta Dutt, Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar | Shankar Jaikishan | Shailendra |
| 3 | Ik baat kahoon wallaah | Shrimaan Satyawad (1960) | Suman Kalyanpur | Dattaram | Gulzar |
| 4 | Ham dilli ke daade hain | Dilli Ka Dada (1962) | N Datta | Sahir Ludhianvi | |
| 5 | Yeh haseen bambai | Holiday In Bombay (1963) | N Datta | Anjaan | |
| 6 | Har dil jo pyaar karegaa | Sangam (1964) | Lata Mangeshkar | Shankar Jaikishan | Shailendra |
| 7 | Mera rang de basanti chola | Shaheed (1965) | Rajendra Mehta | Prem Dhawan | Prem Dhawan |
| 8 | Jo chalaa gayaa usey bhool jaa | Saathi (1968) | Naushad | Majrooh Sultanpuri | |
| 9 | Zindagi hai kya | Satyakaam (1969) | Kishore Kumar | Laxmikant Pyarelal | Kaifi Azmi |
| 10 | Dhol bajaa dhol | Vishwaas (1969) | Usha Timothy, Hemlata | Kalyanji Anandji | Gulshan Baawra |
| 11 | Bheetar-bheetar khaaye chalo | Sankalp (1974) | Khayyam | Kaifi Azmi | |
| 12 | Kuncham kuncham thodaa thodaa | Imaan Dharam (1977) | Asha Bhonsle | Laxmikant Pyarelal | Anand Bakshi |
| 13 | Seva Core Ke Jawan | NFS (1975) | Chorus | Khayyam | Sahir Ludhianvi |
Song No 1 in the table is probably only one of its kind, wherein all 4 singers name starts with the letter “M”.
2 again is a rare song with 5 great singers coming together for a quintet in a classic film.
3 is chirpy and hummable.
4 and 5 are under the composition of N Datta and incidentally both the songs are about our two metro cities.
6 is probably the most known song in the table.
7 is of course a patriotic song sung with much gusto.
8 is a known song, but what most people probably do not know is that the refrain “bhool jaa” is sung by Mahendra Kapoor where as Mukesh sings most of the song.
This was Mukesh’s association with Naushad after nearly two decades. Incidentally, it was my debut post of another series called Mukesh and his composers. That post was sans the table which became a regular feature in my posts later on. I am contemplating writing again on the combo as new information has come to my knowledge.
9 to 12 are quite familiar and readers can easily associate with them just by reading the name of the song.
13 is what this post is all about and so read on.
So, after having come across the posting by Zafar bhai, a quick search on the net and I came across
the following:-
==
The relevant text is as follows.
ASC CORPS SONG
In Oct 1975 the Corps song entitled ‘Seva Corps KeJawan’ was composed and recorded on a 45 RPM disc by HMV. The Corps song depicts in simple language the various facets of the Corps. Shri Sahir Ludhianvi composed the song; Shri Khayyam has scored the music and it is sung by late Mukesh, Mahendra Kapoor and others under the able direction of Shri Yash Chopra, the famous director.
From the picture of the disc that he has shared along with the audio, artists involved in the NFS; the singers, lyricist, composer and this case the director Yash Chopra are quite evident.
And now starts the story, which, as I write; am afraid has no definite answers or conclusions.
Even before the two famed voices start singing the NFS, the prelude composition unmistakably takes us back to the radio days program “Jaimala” on Vividh Bharathi. Yes, the popular signature tune of the program. It’s used once before the voices start singing and thrice at the end of the song. So was the signature tune of Jaimala program used from this particular composition of Khayyam saab or someone else had composed the tune earlier and Khayyam saab took the liberty of burrowing it for obvious reasons?
In this quest, apart from our editors, I sought help from our Avinash ji also. A good friend that he is, instead of helping me, he put up a bigger problem and that too with documentary proof.
Apparently, the book Khayyam The Man – His Music, researched, compiled and edited by Vishwas Nerurkar and Bishwanath Chatterjee has a special mention of this NFS in the footnotes and states that Mukesh is not part of the song.
Well, on listening to the song, it is true that Mukesh’s voice is extremely difficult to identify as Mahendra Kapoor’s strong metallic voice overshadows and looms large in the entire song. However, with due regards to the authors of the book on Khayyam, I have the following to submit.
1. On keener listening at the start of the song, there is indeed a trace of Mukesh’s voice that can be heard separately. It lasts for a very short while though.
2. Again, there seems to be a difference when Mahendra Kapoor is singing in unison with Mukesh and the chorus is rendering its part in the song. I mean, evidently, there is one more voice with Mahendra Kapoor.
3. The official home page of the Indian Army under its section Corps Colour And Song clearly attributes the artists involved in the making of the song and Mukesh is very much mentioned.
4. The gramophone record disk clearly displays Mukesh’s name on it. In fact, Mukesh is printed before Mahendra Kapoor. 🙂
5. A few articles on the net which seem to have copied info from the army website invariably mention Mukesh.
6. There is photograph easily available on the net depicting the two singers. Though there were quite a few private concerts that the two participated, this particular snap because of the attire seems to be very much from the recording of the said NFS. Mukesh also has a book in his left hand and some notes can be seen. I wonder if the same can be deciphered to conclude the matter.
Harish Raghuwanshi’s latest edition of MGK also does not feature this NFS. In my brief interaction with him on email, I was given to understand that he did get this information a few years back but could not lay his hands on the audio. He as such has not ruled out Mukesh’s voice in the song.
So, there are two important aspects to be firmly decided.
1. If Khayyam saab was the original composer of the signature tune used in Jaimala program.
2. The undeniable and irrefutable fact of Mukesh being the co-singer with Mahendra Kapoor in view of the footnote in the book on Khayyam saab.
I leave it to the editors, readers and knowledgeable contributors to throw more light and perceptions on the above two points.
It was important to include a post on Mukesh’s collaboration with Mahendra Kapoor along with the table of songs and I am happy that I got an opportunity to do so with this NFS.
I take this opportunity to thank all the seva core jawans for the invaluable service that they are rendering to our country.
Further, today on 26 January 2023, while we celebrate our 74th Republic Day, let us be thankful and express our sincere gratitude to all the soldiers of our armed forces for the supreme sacrifice they are making in keeping us safe.
Long live our motherland.
Jai Hind.

Today (25 october 202) is the 42nd remembrance day of Sahir Ludhianvi (8 March 1921 – 25 October 1980).
We can see that 1980 saw the demise of Rafi as well as Sahir Ludhianvi. so in a way, one can say that golden era singing as well as lyrics writing suffered major blows in 1980 and that hastened the end of the Golden era of HFM. Of course, many other stalwarts of the golden era of HFM were also getting eclipsed/ sidelined/ marginalised from the scene for one reason or the other during those days.
Sahir Ludhianvi was born on a date which is now a days celebrated as Women’s day. He died on a day which is celbrated as International Artists’s day. This date is called so in honour of famous artist Pablo Picasso (25 october 1881- 4 april 1973).
As a tribute to Sahir Ludhainvi, here is a song from “Jaagriti”(1977). This movie was was produced by Vimal Bhatia and Naresh Malhotra and directed by Rajendra Bhatia for ‘Jai Films, Bombay’. It had Nutan, Vinod Mehra, Reena Roy, Master Satyajeet, Prem Chopra, I.S. Johar, Paintal and Asrani, with Krishnakant, Lily Chakravarty, Padma Chawhan, Ashoo and Junior Mehmood. They were supported by Ram Mohan, Karan Dewan, Sushil Bhatnagar, Birbal, Mounto, Keshav Rana, Madhu Apte, Brook Bond, Jugnu, Aditya Sharma, Manjeet, Salim, Rajesh, Raj Bachhan, Master Ripple, Master Ravi, Manmohan, Aarti, Ram Avtar, Narbada Shankar and Raaj Kishore. Jayshree T and Helen made special appearance in this movie.
“Jaagriti”(1977) had four songs in it. Two songs have been covered so far.
This third song from “Jaagriti”(1977) is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
Only audio of the song seems to be available as of now. Avinash Scrapwala, who sent the lyrics of the song, informs that the song is picturised on Reena Roy. Master Satyajeet can also be seen in the picturisation.
As of now, only audio is available. One stanza available in video, is unavailable in the audio version.
Song-Ae mere nanhe gulfaam (Jaagriti)(1977) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics(Provided by Avinash Scrapwala)
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Teraa bachpan paak rahe ae
Mujh par to hain sau ilzaam
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Teraa bachpan paak rahe
Mujh par to hain sau ilzaam
Kis kaa padaa tujh par saayaa
Kis kaa padaa tujh par saayaa
Kis ne ye rastaa dikhlaayaa
Kaun tujhe is ghar laayaa
Ye ghar hai rusvaa badnaam
In galiyon ki kismat hai ae
In galiyon ki kismat hai ae
Tute gajre jhoothe jaam
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Zakhmi saazon ki jhankaar
Zakhmi saazon ki jhankaar
Ghaayal geeton ki gulzaar
Dukhte tan ki cheekh pukaar
Aiyaashon ke khel kaa naam
In kuchon mein hotaa hai
In kuchon mein hotaa hai
Armaanon ka qatl-e-aam
Aye mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Is basti mein zehar ghule
Is basti mein zehar ghule
Har boti roti mein tule
In galiyon ki aankh khule
Jab dharti par chhaaye shaam
So na gayaa to dekhega
So na gayaa to dekhega
Maa behnon ke lagte daam
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam
Meri neendein tere naam
Teraa bachpan paak rahe
Mujh par to hai sau ilzaam
Ae mere nanhe gulfaam

Today 8th March, 2022 is the 101st birth anniversary of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi (08.03.1921 – 25.10.1980).
As per statistics available he has written around 717 to 730 songs in Hindi Films. On our blog we have so far covered 704 songs penned by Sahir Ludhianvi. Around six to eight songs from the remaining songs seems to be difficult to find or they may not be available at all. Following is the details of movies and the number of songs from these movies yet to be posted on the blog.
| Sl. No. as per Sahir’s Filmography | Movie Name | Year | Music Director | Remaining Songs |

Today I present here a song from the movie ‘Nanha Farishta’ (1969). ‘Nanha Farishta’ was directed by T Prakash Rao for Vijaya International, Madras. It was produced by B Nagi Reddi and Chakrapani. This movie was presented by B Nagi Reddi.
The star cast of the movie lists Pran, Ajit, Anwar Hussain, Padmini, Balraj Sahni and Baby Rani, supported by Suresh, Mukri, Raj Mehra, Sundar, Maruti, Prem Kumar and Johnny Walker.
Story of this movie was written by Thuraiyoor K Moorthy, and dialogues were written by Inder Raj Anand. Editing of this movie was done by BS Glaad.
This movie had four songs written by Sahir Ludhianvi and music composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
The playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor and Manhar. [Author’s Note: The titles of the movie also mentioned the name of S Balbir in the list of playback singers, however HFGK has not mentioned Balbir’s name for any song of this movie.]
HFGK mentions the following four songs from this movie.
| Song | Posted On |
| O Natkhat Nanhi Laadli Tujhe Dekhen | 26.12.2020 |
| Chandaa Kaahe Ka Tera Maama | 08.03.2021 |
| O Re O, Sharaabi Tujhme Ek Kharaabi | Being discussed today |
| Bachche Mein Hai Bhagwaan | 14.11.2014 |
Kalyanji-Anandji have worked with Sahir Ludhianvi in two movies, as per following details.
| Movie | Year | MD | Songs by Sahir (in blog) |
Songs by Sahir (per HFGK) |
Songs by Sahir (per – The People’s Poet) |
| Nanha Farishta | 1969 | Kalyanji-Anandji | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| Shankar Shambhu | 1976 | Kalyanji-Anandji | 5 | 5 | 5 |
From the above table we can see that only one song from the movide ‘Nanha Farishta’ which is also the last song of ‘Sahir – KA’ association remains to be posted on the blog. This is also the final song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and on-screen Padmini is lip-syncing for Asha Bhonsle’s voice. Also seen in the picturization of the song are Pran, Ajit, and Anwar Hussain.
The song happens when the three criminals Pran, Ajit and Anwar Hussain got drunk and request Gauri (Padmini) to sing a song for them. Gauri is the caretaker of the little girl Baby (Baby Rani) whom the three have abducted after killing her father. Later the three criminals develop a soft corner for the baby girl and kidnapped her caretaker Gauri as well when the little girl fall sick.
Gauri has a plan for the criminals and that is why she readily agrees to sing and dance for the drunken criminals. But that is not to be disclosed here and that is something we have to leave intact for those who are interested in watching this movie. I have also not watched this movie and the above storyline in short is from what I got to read on internet.
With this post, the film ‘Nanha Farishta’ (1969) now joins the list of Yippeee’d movies on the blog.
Let us listen to the today’s song now.

7th March’2022 was the tenth ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of music director Ravi (3 March 1926 – 7 March 2012).

| 19 | Chingaari(1989) | Ravi | 5 | 7 | 7 |
| Total: – | 129 | 128 | 136 | ||
We can see from the above table that Sahir and Ravi, during their association had given us more than one hundred songs.
While almost all songs of their collaboration have been posted on the blog, we have one song left from ‘Gumraah-1963’ and three songs from the movie ‘Chingaari-1989’.
As a tribute to both Sahir Ludhianvi and music director Ravi I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Chingaari-1989’.
“Chingaari” (from 1970s) released in 1989’ was directed by Ram Maheshwary for ‘Kalpanalok, Bombay’.
It was produced by Pannalal Maheshwary.
(The same production house and directorial team who had given us movies like ‘Kaajal’, ‘Neelkamal’ etc.)
It had Sanjay, Leena Chandavarkar, Pran, Shatrughan Sinha, Rehman, Padma Khanna, Ramesh Deo, Durga Khote, Jagirdar, David and Junior Mehmood.
They were supported by Tiwari, Anjali Kadam, Jairaj, Jankidas, and Guest Artiste Suresh.
Leela Mishra, Jagdish Raj, Savita, Rajrani, Baby Rubena, Madhu Mehta, Shinde, Sophia also included the supporting cast in this movie.
Story Idea of this movie was by Gulshan Nanda, and screenplay was written by Benoy Chatterjee.
Dialogues of this movie were written by Rajinder Singh Bedi. Editing of this movie was done by D.N. Pai.
This movie had seven songs written by Sahir Ludhianvi and music was composed by music director Ravi.
Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor, Manna Dey and Usha Mangeshkar (as mentioned in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980)) had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Here is the list of songs this movie had (I am including this as the previous song posts of this movie doesn’t mention these details).
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | O praani re … teri karam kahaani * | Manna Dey | 27.03.2015 |
| 02 | Wah dekh udey kaak chadhhi jhaag bhare jaam | Asha Bhonsle | |
| 03 | Main kaun hoon main kya hoon itna to kabhi poochho | Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor | |
| 04 | Tu bol na bol bas rah mere kol | Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor | 03.01.2014 |
| 05 | Pighli aag se saagar bhar le | Asha Bhonsle | |
| 06 | Har waqt tere husn ka hota hai samaa aur | Mahendra Kapoor | 14.07.2013 |
| 07 | Banwaari re, o banwaari re, meri baari re…. | Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar | 04.03.2021 |
*(multiple version song)
Out of the seven songs in this movie four songs (one multiple version song) have been posted on the blog earlier.
Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mahendra Kapoor and on screen it is lip synced by Leena Chandavarkar and Sanjay respectively. This song may sound a very simple song to listen, however it has very meaningful lyrics in the context of the movie. The heroine of the movie Leena Chandavarkar has fallen in love with Police Inspector Sanjay. However, she has a troubled past and that is why the apprehensions in her mind whether the man will accept her with her past?
But as expected in Sahir’s poetry the firm assurance comes from the hero when he says that ‘Tum jo bhi ho meri ho, Ab aur naa kuchh socho’…
(In the movie this song is a dream sequence of Leena Chandavarkar).
Let us now listen to this beautiful song …
The audio version contains three stanza with the second male stanza which is missing from the video link available …

Blog Day : |

Today’s song is from the film ‘The Burning Train -1980’.
‘The Burning Train -1980’ was the 275th movie to be introduced on the blog on the 143rd day of the blog (on 8 december 2008) . Today the number of movies launched on the blog has reached 4562 on 12 January 2022. These numbers give us some idea of the long journey of the movie ‘The Burning Train” on the blog. 😊
The first song from this movie was posted on 08.12.2008. Today, 4784 days later(on 12.01.2022) we are posting the final song from this movie. So, “The Burning Train-1980” finally arrives at its destination YIPPEE station on the blog today. It becomes the 1304th movie to get YIPPEED in the blog.
“The Burning Train-1980” was one of the most ambitious movies from the Chopras’ (B.R. Chopra Films). It had a long list of star-artists performing in it.
I vaguely remember to have watched this movie with my parents when I was a child. Later, as I grew, I kept reading about this movie and kept listening to its songs as I liked them all. I think this movie should be ‘one of the most discussed or hyped but less successful commercially movie ’ of its time.
I loved to watch this movie whenever it was played on Cable TV or TV channels. It must have been liked by many like me and may be many in the new generations in eighties, nineties and more. This movie has good songs written by Sahir and composed by R.D. Burman. Especially its qawwali ‘pal do pal ka saath hamaara’ is liked even today.
‘The Burning Train -1980’ was directed by Ravi Chopra for B.R. Films, Bombay. It was produced by B.R. Chopra. Ravi Chopra also wrote the story of this movie.
It had Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Vinod Khanna, Parveen Babi, Neetu Singh, Danny, Vinod Mehra, Jeetendra, Navin Nischol, Simi, Asha Sachdev, Padmini Kapila, Romesh Sharma, Payal, Asrani, Ranjeet, Iftekhar, Om Shivpuri, Sujit Kumar, Nana Palsikar, Rajendra Nath, Mukri, Keshto Mukherji, Padma Khanna, Komila Virk, Nazir Hussain, Indrani Mukherji, Paintal, Dinesh Thakur, Yunus Parvez, Shammi, Ravindra Kapoor, T.P. Jain, Jankidas, Jagdish Raj, Gufi, Sudha Shivpuri, M. Rajan, Uma Dhawan, Mac Mohan, Anand Balraj, Prem Bedi, Master Bittoo, Baby Khushboo, Junior Danny, Master Romy, Master Salim and others.
Madan Puri, Chandrashekhar, Satyen Kappu and Urmila Bhatt make a guest appearance in this movie.
Its screenplay and dialogues were written by Kamleshwar ji. Pran Mehra was the chief editor for this movie and S.B. Mane and R.P. Bapat assisted him. This movie was passed by Censor Board 20.03.1980.
This movie had six songs penned by Sahir Ludhianvi and composed by R.D. Burman. Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Mohd Rafi, Padmini Kolhapure and Sushma Shreshtha and Usha Mangeshkar gave their voices to the songs in this movie.
So far, five songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier. Here are the details of all the six songs of this movie.

Its fourth song got posted in ‘blog ten-year challenge’ on 01.05.2020 as the movie completes its ten year long run on the blog.
Then the sixth song was posted this year on Sahir Ludhianvi’s birth anniversary. This year is the ‘birth centenary celebration year’ of lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi (born on 08.03.1921 – 25.10.1980). On the blog we achieved seven centuries of Sahir Ludhianvi on 08.03.2021.

A celebration of 100 years of Sahir Ludhianvi – his 700th song being posted on our blog.
A hundred years today. Being celebrated by the 700th post on our blog.
Sahir Ludhianvi – the “. . . Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar. . .“, who would be actually “. . . Har Ik Pal Ka Shaayar. . .“, being relevant for all times, and responsive to all the pitfalls and tragedies of the human experience. But then also, never to be discounted for romanticism a la “Ye Raat Ye Chaandni Phir Kahaan. . .” and “Yoon To Hamne Laakh Haseen Dekhe Hain“, or even as “Phir Na Keeje Meri Gustaakh Nigaahi Ka Gila“, or the upbeat strings of “Mere Labon Pe Dekho Aaj Bhi Taraane Hain. . .“, or even the most in depth portrayal of the bhakti (devotion) sentiment, as in “Aan Milo Aan Milo Shyaam Saanwre“, and “Tum Bansi Ho Main Taan, Ham Tum Do Nahin” and even more intense in “Aaj Sajan Mohey Ang Laga Lo. . .“.
Yes, it is the poet who is Har Ik Pal Ka Shaayar, touching all the facets of experiences of life, from the time when a child is pining for the moon as a toy, and all the way to the derelict conclusion of the human life as in “Lo Apna Jahaan Duniyawaalo, Hum Is Duniya Ko Chhod Chale“.
Sahir Sb seemed to have an affinity for the phrase ‘pal do pal’. We hear these words in ‘Railway Platform’ (1957) –
Pal Do Pal Ka Saath Hamaara, Pal Do Pal Ki Yaari
Aaj Ruke To Kal Karni Hai Chalne Ki Tayaari
Basti Basti Parvat Parvat. . .
Repeated in ‘Mehmaan’ (1974)
. . .
Pal Do Pal Dhoom Machha Ley
Yoon Mar Mat Mar Mat Yaaraa
In ‘Zameer’ (1975), he would write
Zindagi Hansne Gaane Ke Liye Hai Pal
Do Pal. . .
Then again in ‘Burning Train’ (1980), reminding us of the shades of ‘Railway Platform’
Pal Do Pal Ka Saath Hamaara
Pal Do Pal Ke Yaaraane Hain. . .
And yes, ‘Kabhi Kabhi’ (1976) of course,
Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar Hoon
Pal Do Pal Meri Kahaani Hai
Pal Do Pal Meri Hasti Hai
Pal Do Pal Meri Jawaani Hai
In ‘Pyaasa’ of 1957, he had posed three very profound questions in the lines of poetry he wrote for that film. At a personal level, the query was “Jaane Wo Kaise Log The Jin Ke Pyaar Ko Pyaar Mila“. On the plane of social strife and stigma he had asked “Jinhen Naaz Hai Hind Par Wo Kahaan Hain“. And then, the ultimate question of life that he has posed is “Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye To Kya Hai“. The film gains its depths, attempting to interpret and address these questions. And more than sixty years later, these questions continue to haunt the discerning mind. Timeless queries, one would say, but still, crystallized for once in words by Sahir.
There is this one incisive insight that the poet possesses, or maybe the other way round, this incisive insight possesses the poet. Each verse, each song that he has penned in his lifetime, goes well beyond the simple words that he wrote. His words, his lines offer you, nay they force you to take a pause and think – what profundity, in just this simple arrangement of 8, 10 or 15 words. And the thought will stay in the mind for much much longer that what it took to simply read the words for once.
This life, ‘zindagi’ – the incisive insight brings out so many facets that the poet examined it. In 1954, he penned the following for ‘Taxi Driver’
Ae Meri Zindagi
Aaj Raat Jhoom Le, Aasmaan Ko Choom Le
Kis Ko Pata Hai Kal Aaye Ke Na Aaye. . .
For ‘Munim Ji’in 1955, he wrote
Ek Taraf Haseen Jalwe Hain
Ik Taraf Jawaani
Zindagi Hai Zinda. . .
In 1958, his words for ‘Light House’ are
Tang Aa Chuke Hain Kashmakash-e-Zindagi Se Hum
Thukra Na Den Jahaan Ko Kahin Be-dilee Se Hum
With 1960 came ‘Barsaat Ki Raat’ and the promising words are
Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi Wo Barsaat Ki Raat. . .
1962, and it is ‘Hum Dono’, with the lines
Main Zindagi Ka Sath Nibhata Chala Gaya. . .
With ‘Aaj Aur Kal’, 1963, ‘Zindagi’ was a most depressing thought.
Maut Kitni Bhi Sangdil Ho Magar
Zindagi Se To Meharbaan Hogi
‘Chandi Ki Deewaar’ and 1964, another depressing sentiment
Kahin Qaraar Na Ho Aur Kahin Khushi Na Miley
Hamaare Baad Kisi Ko Ye Zindagi Na Mile
And then, a refreshing thought in 1965, with these lines in ‘Shagoon’,
Ham Hain Maayoos Magar Itne Bhi Maayoos Nahin
Ek Na Ek Din To Yah Ashqon Ki Ladi Tootegi
Ek Na Ek Din To Chhatenge Ye Ghamon Ke Baadal
Ek Na Ek Din To Ujaale Ki Kiran Phootegi
Zindagi Zulm Sahi Zabr Sahi Gham Hi Sahi
On to 1969, and the life is a happenstance – film is ‘Aadmi Aur Insaan’,
Zindagi Ittefaaq Hai
Kal Bhi Ittefaaq Thi Aaj Bhi Ittefaaq Hai
And in the same film, we have the sobering sentiment as,
Zindagi Ki Raah Mein Khushi Ke Phool Bhi
Zindagi Ki Raah Mein Ghamon Ki Dhool Bhi
Zindagi Kabhi Yaqeen Kabhi Gumaan Hai
Har Qadam Pe Teraa-Meraa Imtahaan Hai
Zindagi Ke Rang Kai Re Saathi Re. . .
Come 1975, and it is ‘Ek Mahal Ho Sapnon Ka’; the refrain once again is downbeat as in
Dekha Hai Zindagi Ko Kuchh Itna Qareeb Se
Chehre Tamaam Lagne Lage Hain Ajeeb Se
But then it is ‘Zameer’ in the same year that bounces back to say,
Zindagi Hansne Gaane Ke Liye Hai Pal Do Pal
Ise Khona Nahin Kho Ke Rona Nahin
Plus a more sobering thought, from the same film,
Tum Bhi Chalo Hum Bhi Chalen
Chalti Rahe Zindagi
Naa Zameen Manzil Naa Aasmaan
Zindagi Hai Zindagi
With ‘Kaala Pathar’ in 1979 came the motorcycling song that infused the bubbling spirit of freedom and hope.
Jaate Huye Qadmon Se
Aate Huye Qadmon Se
Bhari Rahegi Raahguzar
Jo Ham Gaye To Kuchh Nahin
Ik Raastaa Hai Zindagi
Jo Tham Gaye To Kuchh Nahin
Ye Qadam Kisi Muqaam Pe
Jo Jam Gaye To Kuchh Nahin
Coming to the song being presented today. It is a wonder that I thought of, as I listened to this song today after a very long time. Yes, a child pining for getting the moon to play with. And with the ‘बाल हठ’ (a child’s obduracy), it is an overwhelming experience to be able to convince the child and talk it out of its impossible wish. As I listened, I am reminded of the story from the Ramayan – the passage where Ram, as a toddler, one day gets into His mind that he wants the moon to play with. No amount of coaxing and appeasing and promises by the parents and others can talk Him out of His insistence. And the accompanying wailing and waving of arms is making Kaushalya and Dashrath very worried and uncomfortable. Rajguru, Vashishth ji is summoned for help. He arrives and says, well, if the child is wanting the moon, give Him the moon. The parents are confused, and ask Vashishth ji, as to how to make that happen.
Rajguru asks for a large dish (‘परात’) with raised edges. The dish is placed in front of the child, and is filled with water. Instantly, the likeness of the moon is reflected in the water in the dish. So Vashishth ji beckons the child and points to the reflection and says, here is the moon, now play. So the toddler Ram, seeing that the moon is now so close, puts His hands in water, but swish and splash as He may, He is not able to hold in hand, the reflection that can be seen with the eyes. But the splashing play pleases Him, and the wailing is forgotten.
Sahir Sb is addressing the same situation in this song, likely that the child is insisting on visiting ‘Chanda Mama’. And as is the rule in Hindi films – well, you have a song to for a three-minute-disposition-of-a-difficult-situation. The lines in the song are actually trying to reason with the child, based on some simple logic statements, that aim at convincing the child that they (the three bad men in the film) are much better suited to be ‘Mamma’ to the child than the distant moon.
So there is arguments like, hads ‘Chanda Mama’ ever visited you? Has ‘Chanda Mama’ ever invited you to his place. He just sits in the sky and creates a fake uproar. Where as we (the three bad men in the film) are with you every day. We play with you, we take care of you and bring you toys. And so, as is wont in Hindi films, all it takes is three minutes of music and song to change the mind of any individual in any situation. Start the song, and you can time the mind conversion almost exactly to 3 minutes (maybe plus a few more seconds).
The video of this song is not available, but it most certainly is picturized on Geeta (role played by Baby Rani) who plays the upset little child, wanting the moon, and the three bad men – Govind, Joseph and Nazir (roles played by Pran, Ajit and Anwar Hussain respectively). The singing voice for the three bad men are back played by Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor and Manhar. The singing voice is not identified for a few lines at the end of the song, which are apparently lip synced by the child.
The film is ‘Nanha Farishta’ from 1969. A film by T Prakash Rao, is a touching tale of three criminals whose lives are transformed by the love a small child girl they have kidnapped. The star cast of this film includes Pran, Ajit, Anwar Hussain, Baby Rani, Padmini, Pandharibai, Balraj Sahni, Johnny Walker, Suresh, Mukri, Raj Mehra, Sunder, Maruti, and Prem Kumar.
The film has four songs, all penned by Sahir Sb. The music is composed by Kalyanji Anandji. Two of the four songs are already showcased on our blog. This is the third song to find its place here, as the centenary celebration of this gifted poet. And we also add the celebration of adding the 700th song by Sahir Sb to our blog.
A very refreshingly joyful song – yes, Sahir Sb had the versatility to pen such gems also.
Listen and enjoy.
