#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————
Regulars on the blog are aware that, besides being music-lovers and Hindi movie buff, many of the blog members also love ‘cricket’ and ‘rail/train’, or if I am not wrong especially the ‘Indian Railways’.
Travelling by train is something which is always interesting. Most of us enjoy and love it. It brings back many memories from our childhood days too.
From 2017 to 2019 when I was in Kenya for a project, I badly missed train travel. The place where I stayed for almost nine months in Nairobi had a rail track passing behind my residential place that reminded me of our Indian trains every time a train passed by.
When I returned back to India after finishing the project I was supposed to visit close relatives residing in Maharashtra. I needed to visit other places too. I reached back in India in Dec’2019 end and before I could make plans for any visits, ‘pandemic’ arrived. The best plans of everyone came to a halt.
I had an an pportuniy to visit Mumbai in Feb’2020 when I had also booked a ticket, but due to some minor operation I had to ‘cancel’ it.
ye duniya ki rail musaafir
ye duniya ki rail musaafir
chhak chhak chalti jaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae
Life moves on. The wheels of time keep ‘moving ahead’ as well.
As the effects of pandemic waned and the restrictions were lifted we had our elder daughter’s marriage in March’2022 at Vadodara. Most of our close relatives visited us and thus the long awaited get-together with relatives finally took place.
However, I keep longing to travel. Travelling became possible in April’2022 when I and my wife travelled to Nagpur to attend a marriage. I was working then and had got only two days leave so we had to return back immediately.
But this train travel after a long gap was still enjoyable though the railways had not started providing the ‘linens’ in the AC coaches till then.
saanson ki patri par bhaage
raah chale naa aadi
ismen lagey kismat ke pahiye
chal jaaye to gaadi baba
Finally I got this long vacation this year since 01st January’2023. My last contract with the employer ended on 31st Dec’2022, so I was a ‘free bird’ again.
We were already planning to travel to Nagpur and Parli Vaijnath in Maharashtra to meet in-laws, my mother at Parli, and other relatives. But in an unfortunate development my father in law had to be admitted to a Hospital in Nagpur and we had to rush there. That is how we travelled to Nagpur in Feb’2023 end. After alighting at Ajani Station (one station before Nagpur junction), we directly visited the Hospital where my father in law was admitted. After visiting him we went to their place which was our base station for the next 8/10 days.
My father in law got discharged from the hospital the next day so he was back at home and everybody was happy. My wife was happy and she took care of her father for his medicines, diet etc. till we were there.
Meanwhile I travelled to Amravati by road-with a friend from Nagpur- to meet our common friend who was with us in Kenya. This long awaited meeting was also happening after a long gap of more than three years.
Thereafter, I and my wife travelled to Chandrapur by bus to meet my maternal relatives and then back to Nagpur. This meeting also happened after a long gap of almost seven years (last we visited them when we were staying at Nagpur).
We visited some more relatives (including my cousins) staying in Nagpur and around (Koradi), and left for Parli-Vaijnath by a private travel bus. At Parli-Vaijnath we meet my mother, my younger brother and his family and stayed there for two days. From there we left by train for Shegaon via Akola.
We had to wait around half an hour at Akola station to board the next train for Shegaon. We stayed at Shegaon after visiting the holy place there and next morning started for Vadodara by train again.
So, after a fifteen days tour we arrived back at Vadodara. Meanwhile our younger daughter also travelled to Pune with her friends and she also reached arrived back at Vadodara the same day. We received her at the railway station as her train from Pune was supposed to arrive forty-five minutes after the arrival of our train.
All of us arrived back home after enjoyable journeys.
After a gap of two weeks we again travelled to Rajkot for my younger daughter’s project there and also to visit our elder daughter. After staying a Rajkot for a day we come back to Vadodara by train. Earlier we used to travel by our car to and fro, but this time we took a Volvo bus by state transport to go to Rajkot and we travelled by train in the return direction.
A trip to Kachchh was already overdue for me since 2019-20 for transfer of house to other owner there. (During this period my younger brother staying had visited us thrice including his visit for my daughter’s marriage).
This time I travelled alone by train to Gandhidham and took the ST bus for Mundra. That revived my memories of up/down travels when I was working near Adipur. This visit too was just for one day. I returned back the same day by means of a private transport service.
A pre-planned trip towards the North was already due as per schedule on April 11th.
Meanwhile, 24th March marked the third anniversary of ‘lock down in India’. Even a movie narrating the ‘lock down experiences/stories’ was released on that day, but it disappeared soon like it was never released. May be people were not interested to revisit those ‘horrifying sad stories and the struggle during the pandemic or lock down period’. This movie was also released on 24th March’2023.
While we were preparing for our next tour the news of ‘corona cases surfacing again’ had started doing the rounds.
We started our journey on 11th April for Pathankot by SVDK Exp. This was the first time that we had ‘planned’ a ‘vacation trip’ other than the visits we often took during summer vacations to visit our relatives in Maharashtra.
In this visit we were accompanied by the family of one of my friends. Examinations of their children had finished and so they wanted to travel. So they had requested us to accompany them.
This friend of mine had passed away due to cancer in 2012. He was one of my best friends whom I befriended in Kachchh. I named these three friends as my ‘3 idiots’. So this one ‘idiot’ left us too early at an young age. We were missing him a lot.
We were supposed to reach our destination i.e. Pathankot on 12th afternoon. But on the morning of 12th as we were still travelling there was a call from my brother-in-law from Nagpur that my father in law had left for his heavenly abode early morning. My wife was inconsolable and somehow we managed to calm her saying that we shall take a decision after reaching Pathankot or Dalhousie, where we had to stay. We were in a fix as we could not leave the other members i.e. my friend’s family alone.
After reaching Banikhet near Dalhousie from Pathankot we were informed that the funeral of my father in law had to be done the same day and it was not possible for us in any case to reach Nagpur to attend it. So finally we decided to go to Nagpur later for other rituals. The only consolation for us was that the we had met him in Feb-end and early March and our stay with him for a week at Nagpur, so the regret of not meeting him in recent past was not there..
We finished our trip to Dalhousie-Dharamshala-Amritsar and returned to Ahmedabad via Chandigarh on 17th.
As our tour was on many things were still happening around.
seth mahajan chor uchakke
is gaadi mein saath chaley
raat ko soye dhan loot jaaye
aur sawere haath maley
koyi bajaaye chain ki bansi
koyi neer bahaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae
But the journey was on …
Ye duniyaa ki rail musaafir …
And, it always reminded us
is gaadi mein dekh naa pyaare
jaat paat ke phande ae
ek jagah par mil kar baithhe
sab bhagwaan ke bande baba
do din ka ye safar hai baba
mil jul kar kat jaaye re
***
My elder daughter arrived from Rajkot the next day and we all left for Nagpur on 19th April afternoon (by air this time). After attending all rituals there I and my wife stayed back at Nagpur while our daughters returned to Vadodara early on 22nd of April.
I with my wife travelled back by train again on 27th from Nagpur to Vadodara.
Meanwhile my younger daughter was detected with Covid-19 and she had to be self-quarantined. Now the elder daughter had to stay with her till we arrived back. The day we reach Vadodara, our elder daughter left for Rajkot.
Now there was a family function due at Rajkot on 2nd May. Only I could attend it, as my wife had to stay back with my younger daughter at home.
I travelled on 2nd morning by Volvo bus, attended the function in the afternoon, and arrived back on the same evening by train …
My younger daughter recovered fully from Covid after ten days and got fully fit.
5th May’2023 (News headline)…
“The head of the UN World Health Organization (WHO) has declared “with great hope” an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency, stressing that it does not mean the disease is no longer a global threat.”
A cycle completed …
The song being covered in this post is from the movie “Sitaaraa-1955”. (this song was pending since ‘2018’).

ये दुनिया की रेल मुसाफिर

साँसों की पटरी पर भागे

इसमें लगे किस्मत के पहिये
चल जाए तो गाडी बाबा
चल जाए तो गाडी ई
नगर नगर में ठहरती रूकती

दो दिन का ये सफ़र है बाबा

मिल जुल कर कट जाए रे
पल पल आगे बढती जाए ए

सेठ महाजन चोर उचक्के
इस गाडी में साथ चले
रात को सोये धन लूट जाए
और सवेरे हाथ मले

कोई बजाये चैन की बंसी
कोई बजाये चैन की बंसी
कोई नीर बहाए रे
पल पल आगे बढती जाए ए

#the Decade of Seventies – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today 20th April 2023 is the fifty third ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the legendary lyricist Shakeel Badayuni.
He was born on 3rd August 1916 and he passed away on 20th April 1970.
As a tribute to him, today I am presenting a song penned by him from an ‘un-released’ movie ‘Jitni Door Utne Paas-1960’.
Very little information is available about this movie in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1960). The name of the director is not mentioned. The details about the cast is not available either.
However, Geet Kosh mentions the list of four songs for this movie and the lyricist name is given as Shakeel Badayuni for all four songs.
Music for this movie was composed by C. Ramchandra.
Geet Kosh also mentions the name of singers as Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Chitalkar and Manna Dey.
Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our respected Shri Arunkumar ji his comments on the first song of this movie. (I have only included the portion of his comment about the movie and not the other details about Lata-C Ramchandra combination and their relationship).
JITNE DOOR UTNE PAAS-1961 was to be a Raghavan production film in which, as per plans, the lead pair was to be Pradeep Kumar and Bina Rai. However, 4 songs were recorded and the film was abandoned after shooting few reals.it was never completed also.
One song from this movie ‘hamne apnaa tumhe samjhaa ye badi bhool huyi’ has been posted on the blog on 05.01.2012.
Today I present another song from this movie. It is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music is composed by C. Ramchandra.
Lyrics for today’s song are by Shakeel Badayuni. We are paying our tributes to him today on the occasion of his ‘fifty-third’ ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.
Let us now listen to this song …
Only the audio of the song is available.

‘Pyaar Ka Rishtaa-1973’ was directed by Sultan Ahmed for ‘Golden Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Tony Walker. It had Mumtaz, Sameer, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Balraj Sahni, Nirupa Roy, Nadira, with Jayshree T., Malka, Randhir, Yunus Parvez, Master Ripple, Baby Deepali, Moolchand Kapoor, Master Ejaz and Chaman Puri and Johny Walker.
This movie was written by Mushtaq Jalili and editing of this movie was done by M.S. Shinde.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 301.01.1973.
‘Pyaar Ka Rishtaa’ had total five songs that were composed by Shankar-Jaikishan. Mohd Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonlse and Sharda had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
The songs in this movie were penned by Shakeel Badayuni (who by the time of release of this movie had passed away on 20.04.1970). He wrote three songs for this movie and the two remaining songs were written by Indeevar.
Today 20th April’ 2022 is the fifty-second ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of Shakeel Badayuni (3 August 1916 – 20 April 1970).
As a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Pyaar Ka Rishtaa’.
A per statistics on the blog Shakeel Badayuni had written lyrics for around 766 songs. Out of these 766 we have 644 songs covered on the blog.
I had not gone through these details earlier. I was under the impression that most of the songs written by Shakeel Saab had already been covered on the blog. But 122 songs pending is a big number. I wonder if all these remaining songs are available.
It would be interesting to go through the ‘filmography’ of Shakeel Badayuni to know the movies from which the songs are yet to be posted. (I hope to do it in the future as possible).
For today we have a song sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle which on screen is performed by Sameer (hope I am correct) and Mumtaz. Today’s song is a ‘chhed-chhaad & nok-jhonk’ type song.
Lyrics are by Shakeel Badayuni. And music is composed by Shankar-Jaikishan.
None of the songs composed by Shankar-Jaikishan featured in the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala-1973’. However, two songs composed by them one from ‘Aaj Ki Taazaa Kabhar-1974’ (mujhe meri biwi se bachaao) and one from ‘Chori Chori-1974’ (waastaa hi na jab rahaa tumse) appeared in the list of ’32 next rung songs’ of 1973 Binaca Geetamala.
Let us now listen to today’s song … and pay our tributes to Shakeel Badayuni …

gori ghoonghat mein mukhda chhupaao na

gori ghoonghat mein mukhda chhupaao na

hamen gusse se
haan hamen gusse se aankhen dikhaao na
ye to hansne hansaane ki raat hai
aaj tu kaahe ko sharmaati hai
ye ghadi roz nahin aati hai
aane waale hain piya milne ko
phool hain dil ke tere khilne ko
tujhko rasiya ki nazar lootegi lootegi
aaj nainon ki sharam tootegi
kaahe tere ye nain
tera dil hai bechain
sakhi hamse yoon daaman chhudaao na
ye to milne milaane ki raat hai
gori ghoonghat mein
ai ai o
gori ghoonghat mein
mukhda chupaao na
ye to naina ladaane ki raat hai
aaj ki raat zara chup rahna
dil ki baaten na balam se kahna
wo agar chheden to bal kha jaana
unki baaton mein na tu aa jaana
mard ki zaat ko tu kya jaane
kya jaane
bade chaalaak hain ye deewaane
kabhi painyya padenge kabhi vinti karenge
un se kahna ke jaao sataao na
arre ye to nakhre dikhaane ki raat hai
gori ghoonghat mein haaye daiyya
gori ghoonghat mein mukhda chupaao na
ye to naina ladaane ki raat hai
hamen gusse se aankhen dikhaao na
ye to hansne hansaane ki raat hai

This movie had Bharat Bhushan, Pradeep Kumar, Bina Rai, Asha Parekh, Leela Chitnis, Rajendranath, Rehman, Agha etc. This was a Madrasi style movie, but curiously enough, its story was inspired from a Bangla story. It was an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s 1906 Bengali story “Noukadubi”.
The movie had ten songs in it. Eight songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the ninth song from “Ghoonghat”(1960) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.
The song is picturised as a marriage ritual song. The song is lip synced by Bina Rai who plays the silently sacrificing lady, a character that was the cornerstone of Hindi movies of these days.
The bride is played by a very young Asha Parekh.

Dilip Kumar – The Legend (1922-2021)
——————————————————
Since last two days I have been watching the various videos on whatsapp and on the net and also read some articles on the net. I have tried to see and absorb as much of the information I could about the events after, when the thespian is no more. After all is said and done, I have tried various tacks on how to approach this tribute to the method actor, who some call the “Marlon Brando” of India, without the ferociousness. But I find a ferocious, peasant turned dacoit in ‘Ganga Jamuna’ and a fractioned rebel prince Salim who is equally ferocious in protecting his Anarkali. The work on the silver screen was a very important part of the personality, but by no means it was the whole personality.
The best of Dilip Kumar, the actor and star was over, well before I grew up. But the admiration for his qualities as a screen performer and as a person conscious of his social responsibilities, was an inculcation process in my conscious mind. It has not happened overnight. These are small snippets of information, fed to my mind and stored away. Many incidents and events heard and read about long ago are surfacing in the memory. The trigger is the passing away of Dilip Kumar on 07/07/2021.
I was preparing the posts thinking of some old songs which have not been posted in the blog yet, preferably a song sung by Rafi sahab, writing a para here about this, and there about that, in yahoo mail, in gmail, on my office desktop and my laptop. This is not the way I prefer to do a post, but it was happening like this in this instance, as I was not able to assimilate the thoughts and lacked the drive to concentrate on the topic, maybe.
Then, I had divine help in the shape of a TV news show. I am pretty impressed with the contents of the particular show aired on 07/07/2021, with the byline – An era ends with Dilip Kumar’s death. It is very much close to my own feelings on this occasion, so I am reproducing some parts of the text of the show in hindi – trying to do verbatim translation is beyond me at the moment.
“Apni gair haazri mein iss se adhik haazir koyi kya ho sakta hai ke aap unhen alvidaa kehte waqt iss tarah se yaad kiye jaa rahe hain, jaise woh laut kar aaye hon. Yeh desh jo har waqt hindu-musalmaan ke beech nafrat ki deewar par chal raha hotaa hai, uss desh mein aisa ek hi shakhs thha jo Dilip Kumar bhi thha aur Yusuf Khan bhi. 1947 ke vibhajan rekha ko wo jis aasaani se paat diya karte thhe, bahot kam logon mein waisi quwwat hoti hai. Unn ka ek makaan phoolon ke shehar peshawar mein aaj tak hai. Unn ka ek makaan paison ke shehar Mumbai mein bhi hai. Aaj hindustan ne jitna khoya hai, utna pakistan ne bhi khoyaa hai.
Pichhle saal sitamber mein jab pakistan ke patrakaar Shiraz Hasan ne apne twitter handle par Dilip Kumar ke puraane makaan ki tasveer sajhaa ki, tab Dilip Kumar ne apne twitter handle se jawaab diya ke Peshawar mein sabhi se guzaarish hai ke mere pushtaini makaan ki tasveeren den. Phir to tasveeron aur videon ka taantaa hi lag gayaa. Peshawar ke ‘Qissa-Khwaani’ bazaar mein unn ka makaan hai. Dilip Kumar ne apni aatma katha mein likkha hai ki aaj bhi wahan ki khushbu, rang aur mausamon ki yaaden taazi hain. Kanpwa dene wali sardiyaan yaad hain. Unhen yaad hai Wahabbat Khan ki masjid huaa karti thhi. Iss bazaar ka naam qissa khwaani bazaar iss liye bhi padaa ke yehan vyapari apne qisse sunaate thhe aur doosron ka qissa sunte thhe. Kise pataa thha ke unn tamaan anaam qisson ke beech itna bada qissa niklegaa jis ka naam Yusuf Khan se badal kar Dilip Kumar kar diya jaayegaa. Do naamon ko ek saathh jeena aur khabron se bhari iss duniyaa mein tthag ki jagah behadd imaandar aur shaaleen shakhs ke roop mein dekhaa jaanaa, yeh bhi apne aap mein ek qissa hai, jis ka bazaar aaj unn ke jaane ke baad sajaa hai.
Apni aatma khathha mein unhon ne likkha hai ke bazaar mein aag lagi thhi jis waqt unn ki paidaaish hui thhi.
“Dilip Kumar – The substance and the shadow” aap ko unn tamaam chaukhaton tak le jaati hai, ye dikhaane ke liye ke ek kalaakar apne wajood se alag ho kar ek bada kalaakar nahi bantaa hai.
Waise unn ki aatma katthaa ke shuruaat se le kar akhir ke panno par, ghar ki dadi, ammi, phuphi aur didi ke qisse bhare pade hain. Maaon aur behnon ke beech ek kumar bada ho raha thha, pata chalta hai ke khaandaani aadmi thhe.
Saira Bano se unn ki shadi 1966 mein hui. Woh apne aap mein uss waqt ki mash-hoor aur maqbool kalaakar thhin. Unn ki aakhri saans tak unn ke saath saaye ki tarah khadi rahin. Ham aur aap ek tarah se Dilip Kumar ko celebrate kar rahe hain. Unn ke hone aur na-hone ko unn ke abhinay ki katranon ko nikaal kar tukde tukde mein jiye jaa rahe hain.
Lekin Saira Bano ke liye Dilip Kumar ek video clip bhar nahin thhe. Unn ke dukh ki dahleez tak koyi nahi pahunch saktaa.
Ham ne baat peshawar ke makaan se shuru ki thhi. Bambai ke Anjuman Islam school mein padhne lagte hain Dilip Kumar. Vibhajan se pehle aa gaye thhe. Lekin school ki chhuttiyon mein unn ka Peshawar aana jaana raha, angrezi ki kavitaayen sunaane aur unn ki daad lene ke liye.1930 ke dashak ke baare mein Dilip Kumar ne likkha hai ke yehaan tab hindu chai, muslim chai, hindu paani, muslim paani milaa karta thha.
Dilip Kumar apne bachpan ko kandhe par rakh kar chalte thhe. Ek qissa hai ke jab akhbaaron mein chhapa ke bombay mein tram band hone waali hai, to unhen dard huaa 31/03/1964 ko hazaaron logon ne dadar aur parel ke beech chali uss aakhri tram ko bidaai di. Dilip Kumar likhte hain ke agar wo Dilip Kumar naam ka star na hote aur Yusuf Khan hi rehte to uss akhri tram mein zarur safar karte. Hazaaron logon ne antim tram ko vidaayi di thhi. Unn ki yaadon mein jitna peshawar thha utnaa hi bombay thaa. Koyi abhinetaa apne shehar ko unn daftaron se yaad karta hai, koyi Dilip kumar hai jo apne uss ki mohallon bason aur pedon se yaad karta hai. Yahin par unn ka makaan hain, yahin unn ko Juhu qabrastaan mein suprud-e-khaak kiya gayaa. Badi sankhya mein aam log iss shaandaar abhineta ko vidaayi dene aaye. Unhen maaloon hai yehan Dilip sahab dafan ho rahe hain. Unn ka ek makaan, jism ka har ek qatra hindustaan mein hai, lekin ek makaan peshawar mein bhi hai jis ke baahar unn ki yaad mein ek poster lagaaya gaya hai.
Ye bheed tab hai jab zamaane se unn ki koyi film nahi aayi hai, dashkon se nahi aayi. 1952 mein unn ki film “Aan’ release huyi, super hit huyi jo uss waqt ki sab se adhik kamaayi karne waali film bani. 1947 mein wo vibhajan rekha kheenchi gayi jis ke baad log udhar se idhar, aur idhar se udhar hogaye. Dilip kumar par pakistan ki oar se jaasoosi karne ke aarop lage, Deepa Mehta ki film ‘Fire’ ka samrthan karne par bhi bahot aalochna hui. In sab ke baad bhi unhen na koyi udhar dhakel paaya na idhar dhakel paaya.
Is interview mein aap inhen bolte suniye. Saamne koyi script nahi hai lekin aap parde ke Dilip Kumar aur asli jeewan ke Dilip Kumar mein farq nahi kar sakte. Patrkar Sunil Sethi ne NDTV ke liye Dilip Kumar ka interview kiya thha. Puraana interview hai. Angrezi mein iss interview ko aap bhasha, aur usse baratne ke lehje ke liye bhi suniye. Unhenn bolte huey sunne se bhi lagta hai ham ne jin i’laaqon ko, rawaayaton aur lafzon ko baant diya hai. Dilip Kumar jab bolte thhe to woh saara kuchh ek aisi zameen se aaya lagtaa thha, jis ka batwaara kabhi huaa hi nahi. Unn ka bolna uss i’laaqe ka ek mukammal chehra thha, jise aap bharatiya up-mahadweep kehte hain.
“nishaan-e-imtiyaaz’ ko le kar huey vivaad ke waqt, unhon ne ye kahaa thha ke 65 saal hindustaan mein rehne ke baad mujhe apni wafadaari saabit karni pad rahi hai.
Unn ka ghar iss waqt ghamon se bhara huaa hai. Unn ki adaakari ham sab ke hisse mein maujood hai. Dilip Kumar ne cinema mein abhinay ko adhyay mein badal diya, iss liye unhen method actor kahan jaata hai. Mughal-e-azam jaisi film mein Salim ke kirdaar ko baadshahat dene waale Dilip Kumar kam samay mein dekhna ya unn ke baare mein samjhana bahot mushkil kaam hai.”
The show goes on to talk about Dilip Kumar’s philanthropic acts. I had meant to write a bit on this facet of his personality, as I found that the Wikipedia page on him is not mentioning this part of his life. The show than goes in detail about how his biography was written and published, and what were his specifications about writing about his personal life and relations with other female stars with whom he was linked romantically.
I would like to read the book and see what he writes about his equation with Madhu Bala and what went wrong with his second marriage to Asma Rehman.
I have read the letter hand written by Dilip Kumar in urdu, to the editor of ‘Shama’ which is part of a book. The beauty of the handwriting and the dignity in the sentences, conveying his outrage, subtle yet firm, that he will not tolerate any such inferences towards his personal matters, is to be read to be believed. I have not read that much of Urdu over the years, as I could have, but the conviction about the ‘shaaistagi’ of the language, written and spoken is never in doubt. The letter vindicates my convictions about urdu, and reassured me that Urdu is a deserving heritage ofvast populations across the world. I am still talking about Dilip Kumar’s cultured, educated, wise and dignified persona.
One dialogue from Mughal-e-azam :
“ye zakhm nahi phool hain Durjan. Aur phoolon ka murjhaana bahaar ki ruswaayi hai.
Suno,
ye qaatil hi nahi dildaar bhi hai,
yeh shaakh-e-gul bhi hai talwaar bhi hai”
Yes. In classic Urdu, sentences do begin with ‘aur’.
Going back to Dilip Kumar’s acts of charity and his commitment to social causes, I know it for a fact that he was a partner in many such deeds and was a patron and supporter of educational institutes, orphanages etc. Dr.Is-haq Jamkhanawala (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishaq_Jamkhanawala) from Belgaum was a close friend of Dilip Kumar. These two friends had been involved in many charity projects, which can be verified. In fact Dilip Kumar visited Belgaum in early 80’s accompanied by Saira Bano for inaugration of an educational institute. I have a photographe where Dr. Is-haq Jamkhanawala also can be seen alongwith another illuminous person, a doctor from Belgaum. (Photo attached).
Saahir Ludhianvi says in his inimitable way that:
duniyā ne tajrabāt o havādis kī shakl meñ
jo kuchh mujhe diyā hai vo lauTā rahā huuñ maiñ
His stature and standing in the film industry as well as the country ensured that he is a blessed and deserving of the honour of State funeral given to him. A real ‘badaa aadmi’ in the way he was blessed with the affections and respect in this world. And bigger the stature and the power bestowed in this world, the bigger is the test of the character. The toughness of the test is directly in proportion to the worldly blessings. By all accounts he seems to have fared well in this test, as far as we can see, rest all is with Allah(swt), who is the best of judges.
Lata Mangeshkar says this in her tribute:
“Yusuf bhai has gone leaving his younger sister behind. His death seems like the end of an era. I am unable to comprehend anything, I’m extremely sad, speechless, he gave me many memories and left. Yusuf bhai has been unwell for the last many years. He couldn’t recognise anyone, at such time, Saira bhabhi left everything and took care of him day and night. She had no other life. I bow down to such a woman and I pray for Yusuf bhai’s soul to rest in peace,”
What is a better celebration of this legendary actor, multi-lingual and multi-dimensional personality, than a song from the magnum opus “Ganga Jamna’ which he produced, wrote and said to have ghost directed? I am presenting two song snippets from this film.
Shakeel Badayuni-Rafi-Naushad is the team, whose association with Dilip Kumar is again a stuff of legends. Some enthusiasts can write a thesis on this topic. There is a female voice in the longer snippet, which sounds like Rajkumari Dubey, but I cant be sure. I am positive that it is not Lata Mangeshkar and sound different from Shamshad Begum.
My own favourite song from “Ganga Jamuna” is:
Nain lad jayi hain
to manwaa maa kasak hoibe kari
prem ka chhutiye patakha to dhamak
hoibe kari
The film and songs are definitely worth revisiting and so is the thespian, Gulfaam, the originial angry young man, and so much more.
