Yesterday this blog reached 5000 songs. Today is 14th november, which is celebrated as the children’s day in India. The day is over and it is night time, and not a single song has been discussed on this occasion !
No, I have neither run out of steam nor I have forgotten about this day. In fact I ensured that the 5000 th song was discussed one day advance so as to keep 14th november free for children’s songs. It is just that I was neglecting several important tasks which I completed in the day time. Now I have time to discuss songs for today. It may be too late for the real children, but those who are young at heart (which includes lots of readers of this blog), the day is not yet over. So I will try and discuss a few songs on the occasion as long as it is still 14th november in India. so I still have more than four hours at my disposal. 🙂

About two weeks ago, I had posted the qawwaali ‘Waaqif Hoon Khoob Ishq Ke. . .’ from the film Bahu Begum (1967). As promised, here is the second qawwaali from the same film, that is another wonderful specimen of Roshan Saab’s compositions.

In this post I present a qawwaali written by Sahir Saab. In the string of qawwaalis, I had some time back posted the iconic qawwaali from the film Kaala Samunder (1962), with the mukhdaa (title) “Meri Tasweer Le Kar Kyaa Karogey Tum” . There is one more qawwaali from the same film, not as well known, and is somewhat rare and obscure. But then, bless this YouTube that I am able to trace this qawwaali finally.

Subah ka intezaar kaun karey

This song from “Joru Ka Bhai” (1955) is sung by Lata. The lyrics of this song sound similar to a Talat Mehmood song from this movie, but the lyrics are different and that has forced me to treat this song as a different song and not as a multiple version song.

Teri zulfon se pyaar kaun kare

In this blog, I treat the number of songs discussed as the same as the number of posts. For instance, as of now, it is mentioned that the blog has 4876 songs. But it is not true. It means that this blog had 4876 posts. Multiple version songs, where songs with same lyrics are sung by different artists are discussed in one post in this blog, but they are really different songs. If one begins to count the number of songs that way (which is the actual way of counting songs), then this blog has already has already discussed over 5000 songs. It is for the sake of convenience and to avoid duplication of work that such multiple version songs are discussed in one post.

There is one big loss that the society faces of the demise of the radio broadcasts, and the rise of television and other devices. In the decades of 60s and 70s, and maybe even 80s, when radio was the prime mover of entertainment, one could bank upon hearing it somehow, someplace, every place through the day. In the morning radios would be the wake up call at homes, with news, religious music, and film music playing till one left for school or work. Afternoons and evenings again, radio used to play news and music and one could hear the sounds emanating from many households. And yes, radio would play all day at small tea shops, paan shops, and general merchants, and if there was a cricket commentary being broadcast, it was not out of place to see large crowds at tea shops and paan shops.
