RRR Songs (Songs of Regret, Repentance and Ruefulness)
I started this new series on 17 Jan 21 on my Facebook Group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne. My efforts failed to involve people in writing their own stuff about songs and music rather than copying and pasting from here and there or worse, just sharing url of songs from YouTube. Hence, I had decided to give the group a burial that it deserved rather than making it like thousands of groups on Facebook about songs with nothing unique about them at all.
I hope you liked RRR Song #5: Chandni raaten pyaar ki baaten. Here is the next song:
Song #6
Khushi do ghadi ki mile na mile
Kishore Kumar All The Way
Just four days ago I took up Koi lauta de mere beete huye din. That was from his movie Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein, a movie that he produced and directed and wrote the story of. He starred in the movie too and had his son Amit act in the movie as his mute son after he, Kishore Kumar, returned after doing his time as a soldier. What is more, he was the Music Director of the movie and we still fondly the songs of the movie including Aa chal ke tujhe main le ke chalun.
Door Ka Rahi that he made seven years later, in 1971, was also written, produced and directed by him, starred him and his son Amit (besides his elder brother Ashok Kumar and his daughter in the movie Tanuja). He was also the music director of the movie and composed and sang most of the songs:
- Beqraar dil gaaye jaa.
- This song: Khushi do ghadi ki (my favourite).
- Jeevan se na haar.
- Chalti chale jaaye zindagi. (Hemant Kumar).
- Panthi hoon main us path ka.
- Main ek panchhi matwala (sung by his son).
- Mujhe kho jaane do.
- Ek din aur aa gaya. (Maana Dey)
Except for Chalti chali jaaye zindagi penned by Shailendra, all the others were penned by Irshad, this being one of the four movies in which he penned songs.
Why is This a Favourite?
Because of the lyrics. These reflect my own emotions and this is how I feel about closing down the group:
खुशी दो घड़ी की, मिले ना मिले
शमा आरज़ू की, जले ना जले
खुशी दो घड़ी की …
रहगुज़र में कई मन्ज़िलें भी मिलें (२)
देख कर एक पल, दम लिया फिर चले
खुशी दो घड़ी की …
हर कदम पर नए मर्हले थे खड़े (२)
हम चले दिल चला, दिल चला हम चले
खुशी दो घड़ी की …
My Own Poetry
BAHUT DIYA DENE WAALE NE MUJHAKO
कैसे कैसे कभी इस दिल में अरमान थे,
कुछ ऐसे जज़्बात जिनसे हम अनजान थे।
शुरू शुरू में तो ऐसा लगता था हमें,
क़दमों तले सातों आसमान थे I
यह भी एहसास हुआ कई बार हमें,
बाहों में अपने दोनों जहान थे I
मिलने की खुशी चंद घंटों की थी,
ना मिलने से हम कितने परेशान थे।
हम मजबूर इस तरह हुए हालात के हाथों,
कभी ग़मगीन और कभी हम पशेमान थे।
ज़िन्दगी की राहों में हमदर्द तो नहीं मिले,
पर हर मरहले पे देखा खड़े हैवान थे।
हौले हौले हमने देखा एक अजूबा,
हमारी तरह लोग भी ज़िन्दगी से हैरान थे।
जहाँ भी गए लोगो की भीड़ थी लेकिन,
दिलों के रास्ते पूरी तरह सुनसान थे।
वक़्त बीत गया, ज़िन्दगी पीछे रह गयी,
दो चार घड़ी इस जगह हम मेहमान थे।
कल आएगा, नए कारवां होंगे, पर कैसे भूलें,
इस धरती पे हम भी कभी इंसान थे।
भगवान, फिर भी तेरे सजदे में है रवि,
जो कुछ भी पाया सब तेरे एहसान थे।
This Song
