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.
Hence this series shifted to my page Lyrical.
I hope you liked RRR Song #9: Woh tere pyar ka gham. Here is the next song:
Song #10
Aakhri geet mohabbat ka suna loon to chalun
Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Madan Mohan
If you look up the You Tube, you would find that some of the most popular and best songs of Lata Mangeshkar have been crafted by the duo. Lets recall songs like Lag jaa gale se of Mera Saya, Agar mujhase mohabbat hai of Aap Ki Parchhayiyan and Aapki nazaron ne samajha pyar ke kabil mujhe of Anpadh.
Raja Mehdi Ali Khan replaced Tum with a respectful Aap in his songs; eg, Phir aapke naseeb mein yeh raat ho na ho and Aapki nazaron ne samajha.
As far as Madan Mohan is concerned, it is for adequate reason that he was called maestro. It is not just Lata Mangeshkar’s songs composed by him that are popular eg those of Adalat (with Rajinder Krishan) Unako ye shikayat hai, Yun hasaraton ke daag and Jaana tha hamse door bahane bana liye. It is a fact that some of the best songs of Mohammad Rafi were also composed by him such as Main ye soch kar usake dar se utha tha, Kabhi na kabhi kahin na kahin koi to koi to aayega, and Ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gaya.
This too was sung by Mohammad Rafi for Dharmendra as the Dulhan Ek Raat Ki song: Ek haseen shaam ko. This is from the 1965 Rajendra Bhatia movie Neela Aakash with Mala Sinha as Neela and Dharmendra as Aakash and thus the title.
More than anything else, have a look at the most beautiful lyrics:
आखिरी गीत मुहब्बत का सुना लूँ तो चलूँ,
मैं चला जाऊंगा, दो अश्क़ बहा लूँ तो चलूँ,
मैं चला जाऊंगा
आज वो दिन है के तूने मुझे ठुकराया है,
अपना अंजाम इन आँखों को नज़र आया है,
वहशे-ऐ-दिल मैं ज़रा होश में आ लूँ तो चलूँ,
मैं चला जाऊंगा
आज मैं गैर हूँ, कुछ दिन हुए मैं गैर ना था,
मेरी चाहत मेरी उल्फत से तुझे बैर ना था,
मैं हूँ अब गैर यकीं दिल को दिला लूँ तो चलूँ,
मैं चला जाऊंगा
तेरी दुनिया से मैं एक रोज़ चला जाऊंगा,
और गए वक़्त की मानिंद नहीं आऊंगा,
फिर ना आने की क़सम आज मैं खा लूँ तो चलूँ ,
मैं चला जाऊंगा
My Own Poetry
I seem to be having a poem of my own for every song that I have given you.
Here is one:
CHALO INTEZAAR KARTE HAIN
तू भी देखना एक ऐसा भी दिन आएगा,
आंसुओं से मेरे तेरा दिल पिघल जाएगा
मेरी ना श से तुझे कोई शिक्वा ना होगा
तेरे दिन तो क्या जहान संवर जाएगा
प्यार और इश्क़ मुझे करना ही ना था
घुट घुट रोज़ मुझे मरना ही ना था
अब सोचता हूँ क्यों चला गया वहां
तेरी राहों से मुझे गुज़रना ही ना था
सोचा था ज़िन्दगी का हमसफ़र मिला है
मेरी तनहा रातों का सहर मिला है
हम जिसे पीते रहे दवा जान के, ऐ दिल,
अब पता चला के ज़हर मिला है
खैर ग़म- ऐ-इश्क़ की कोई तो होगी मंज़िल
यह बेवफा निकली, यह हर वक़्त रही संगदिल
यह ज़िन्दगी तो रो रोके गुज़ार दी हमने
आने वाली ज़िन्दगी शायद ना हो मुश्किल
चलो इंतजार करते है! चलो इंतज़ार करते हैं!
ठोकर खा चुके हैं फिर भी प्यार करते हैं
तेरे वादे पे तो तमाम उम्र गुज़र गयी लेकिन
हम अब मौत की वफ़ा का ऐतबार करते हैं|
Dharmendra
Many people identify with him as Jatt yamla pagla deewana. However, from a very early stage he has shown a penchant for serious roles and these are most memorable. For example, one of his earlier movies Shola Aur Shabnam had this sad and serious song: Jaane kya dhoondati rehti hain ye aankhen mujh mein. Not just the most handsome man in the Hindi films he was the most intense too. Recall his Anupama song: Yaa dil ki suno duniya waalo. Lets, listen to the voice of his heart.
Please enjoy: Aakhri geet mohabbat ka suna loon to chalun…
I hope you liked Song #10 in this series.
Please await Song #11: Jis dil mein basa tha pyar tera.
