The ghazal ‘ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe ronaa aayaa’ and Begum Akhtar are inseparable. If ‘deewaana banaana hai to deewaana banaa de’ (1925) heralded the arrival of Begum Akhtar as a ghazal singer, ‘ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe ronaa aayaa’ (early 1950s) consolidated her position in ghazal singing paving the way for her to be bestowed upon the title of ‘mallika-e-ghazal’ later. I came to know about Begum Akhtar in my younger days only because of this ghazal which was regularly played on the radio. The simple words in this ghazal with the captivating style of Begum Akhtar’s rendition attracted not only the connoisseurs of ghazals but also the commoners. No wonder, the sales of gramophone records of this ghazal attained the stature of a platinum disc.

This is one more duet by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle from the film ‘Kaise Kahoon’. The music for this film is composed by S D Burman and lyricist is Shakeel Badayuni. These two have worked together in very few films. I know of only two i.e ‘Benazir’ and this film, both released in the year 1964.

This is a song from film ‘Shair’ (1949). I am not sure if that is the correct name for this film. If the name is ‘Shaayar’ or ‘Shaayir’ than it will mean ‘the poet’. If it is ‘Shair’ than it is ‘a couplet’. Eight songs from this film have appeared in this blog. I was able to find only one Rafi song in this film which is luckily not posted.

“Son of India” (1962) was produced by Mehboob Khan, who had earlier produced “Mother India” (1957). Perhaps he felt that the word “India” was a lucky word for him.
