He was the direct desendant of Taimur and Genghis Khan who perpetrated untold atrocities on our people. Babur or Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muḥammad was responsible for laying the moghul dynasty foundation in India. Hindi movies’ infatuation with our moghul rulers and trying to find something good about them are indeed fascinating. (Moghul king Babur as depicted in a painting)
SAJAN KE SAHELI MOVIE
The movie was directed by Hemen Gupta who was secretary to Netaji Subhash Chndra Bose and made several movies for Bimal Roy including Anand Math and Kabuliwala. Another thing that happened with the movie was that Sahir was with Sudha Malhotra in a big way. (The picture shown in the video is NOT the picture of this song but from Mr and Mrs 55: Jaane kahan mera jigar gaya ji)Īnd that brings us to the first movie of 1960 Babar which started a very meaningful pairing that Sahir had with Music Director Roshan. The movie Naach Ghar was a forgettable movie starring Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar, Kamala Laxman, Helen, Shobha Khote, Iftekhar, and Gopi Krishna. Lets listen to Main Hoon Mister John if not for anything but to relive that era that Sahir earlier than 1957 had with SD Burman. Tere Shaharo Se Raaja Hame Ban Hee Bhale. Janeman Chilman Utha Kar Dekh Le Dil Jalo Se Dil Laga Kar Dekh Le.ĩ. Meri Sune To O Pardesi Dil Se Dil Takrane De, Bhala Lage Toh Gale Se Lagja.ĥ. Dil Zubaan Na Khol Sirf Dekh Le Kisi Se Kuch Na Bole Sirf Dekh Le.ģ. Have a look at the songs that they made together:ġ. The song Ye husn ye ada was penned by him, composed by Nirmal Kumar and sung by Sudha Malhotra and Mohammad Rafi. The next movie of 1959 in which there was just one song by him (the rest were by Anand Bakshi) was Lal Nishan. Lets proceed further into the world of Sahir Ludhianvi’s songs. Sahir was given the moniker of being the People’s Poet. The following posts about Sahir Ludhianvi have been reconstructed from the same page. I have several (almost a dozen) posts on my blog on my favourite lyricist and poet Shakeel Badayuni. Indeed, on the Facebook I have a page titled ‘Lyrical’ to honour and pay tribute to various lyricists. Let me reiterate that I am a lyrical man words of the songs are often the most important part of the songs for me. In ‘The Best Songs Of Sahir Ludhianvi – Part III’, I gave you 22 songs from Youn to hamane lakh haseen dekhe hain from the 1957 movie Tumsa nahin dekha to Bachcho tum taqdeer ho kal ke Hindustan ki from the 1959 movie Didi. Of course, the Part II we had started with ‘Ye baharon ka sama’ from the 1955 Dev Anand, Geeta Bali movie Milaap. This was the last and the 18th movie when Sahir Ludhianvi paired with SD Burman. In ‘The Best Songs Of Sahir Ludhianvi – Part II’, I gave you two songs more than two dozens as I wanted to finish with the songs of 1957 Guru Dutt classic Pyaasa in one part only (the last song was ‘Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo’). I soon settled with giving you his songs chronologically from Thandi hawayen, lehrake aayen (from 1951 movie Naujawaan) to Ab woh karam karen yaa sitam main nashen main hoon (from 1955 movie Marine Drive). Initially, I started with a favourite of mine: Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko, mardon ne use bazaar diya, from the 1958 BR Chopra movie Sadhana. In ‘The Best Songs Of Sahir Ludhianvi – Part I’, I gave you two dozen songs. I have so far given you three parts of this post:
