Not many debuts can be better than starting with the song “Afsaana Likh Rahi Hoon. . .” (‘Dard’, 1947). His innings lasted for 23 years. A long time in which he could not even complete a century of films. He has written about 750 songs in 89 films across his career. Typecasting, or more correctly to state, pairing groupism was responsible for this state of affairs. All along his career, his partnership with music directors remained primarily confined to just three – Naushad Sb, Ghulam Mohammed Sb and Ravi. His films with other music directors are really few and far between.
Remembering Shakeel Badayuni on the anniversary of his passing away today (20th April).
As I checked his filmography, in 62 of his 89 films in all, he is paired with the the three names listed above. His remaining 27 films are spread across 13 music directors. And the number of films with each music director – just 1 and 2. Hemant Kumar is the only music director with whom he worked in three films that were released – ‘Bees Saal Baad’ and ‘Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam’ in 1962, and ‘Bin Baadal Barsaat’ in 1963. He also worked with C Ramchandra in three films, however one of them remained unreleased – ‘Zindagi Aur Maut’ (1965), ‘Wahaan Ke Log’ (1967) and ‘Jitne Door Utne Paas’ (UR).
Today I have selected a song of the film ‘Wahaan Ke Log’, wherein he worked with C Ramchandra. This film makes its debut on the blog today.
The theme of space travel and extra terrestrial life forms is not recent in Hindi films. One can find such titles as ‘Chaand Ki Duniya’ (1959), ‘Chaand Par Chadhaai’ (1967) etc. The film ‘Wahaan Ke Log’ also belongs to the same genre. The film is directed by NA Ansari for the banner Bundelkhand Films. The cast of actors includes Pradeep Kumar, Tanuja, Nilofer, NA Ansari, Shobhna Samarth, Sapru, Johnny Walker, Umadutt, Lakshmichaya, Champak, Shukla, Bela Bose, Anant Tiwari, Lalit Kapoor, Prithvi, Vijay Khote, Latif, Ratan Gaurang, Santosh Virdi, Lamba, Jaggi, Suneel Chakravarty, Pradeep Sharma, Raheem, Raj Malik, Durga Prasad, Maqbool, Hazara Singh, Sheela R, Manmauji, and Khurshid etc.
The film has five songs in all. All the five songs are prepared by the team of Shakeel Badayuni and C Ramchandra. The song that I have selected is sung by Mukesh. And of course, it goes without saying that it is the voice that makes this song extra special. On screen, the song is performed by Pradeep Kumar, with Tanuja, his lady love, also appearing in the clip, to quietly listen to the expressions of love that are being made for her.
Listen and enjoy.
Song – Hum Tujhse Mohabbat Karke Sanam (Wahaan Ke Log) (1967) Singer – Mukesh, Lyrics – Shakeel Badayuni, MD – C Ramchandra
Lyrics
hum tujhse mohabbat karke sanam
duniya ka fasaana bhool gaye
hum tujhse mohabbat karke sanam
duniya ka fasaana bhool gaye
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
phir hosh mein aana bhool gaye
hum tujhse mohabbat karke sanam
jab dekh li teri mast nazar
jab dekh li teri mast nazar
maikhaane ka rasta chhod diya
zulfon pe teri jab aankh padi
saawan ka zamaana bhool gaye
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
phir hosh mein aana bhool gaye
hum tujhse mohabbat karke sanam
ae husn teri ulfat ne hamen
ae husn teri ulfat ne hamen
pahuncha diya aisi manzil pe
kadmon pe tere ik sajda kiya
phir sar ko uthaana bhool gaye
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
aankhon se teri ek jam piya
phir hosh mein aana bhool gaye
hum tujhse mohabbat karke sanam

हम तुझसे मोहब्बत करके सनम
दुनिया का फसाना भूल गए
हम तुझसे मोहब्बत करके सनम
दुनिया का फसाना भूल गए
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
फिर होश में आना भूल गए
हम तुझसे मोहब्बत करके सनम
जब देख ली तेरी मस्त नज़र
जब देख ली तेरी मस्त नज़र
मयखाने का रस्ता छोड़ दिया
ज़ुल्फों पे तेरी जब आँख पड़ी
सावन का ज़माना भूल गए
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
फिर होश में आना भूल गए
हम तुझसे मोहब्बत करके सनम
ए हुस्न तेरी उल्फ़त ने हमें
ए हुस्न तेरी उल्फ़त ने हमें
पहुंचा दिया ऐसी मंज़िल पे
कदमों पे तेरे इक सजदा किया
फिर सर को उठाना भूल गए
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
आँखों से तेरी इक जाम पिया
फिर होश में आना भूल गए
हम तुझसे मोहब्बत करके सनम
