"Tum Mujhe Yun Bhula Na Paoge"This Super Hit song of the late 60s written by Hasrat Jaipuri still is in our mind and heart.Though Hasrat Jaipuri died in 1999 but his lyrics and shayari is still living with us.Today on his 18th Death Anniversaty I pay my tribute to him with some of his Immortal songs.
The epic combination of Hasrat Jaipuri and Shankar Jaikishan started from Barsaat 1949. The first 2 songs written by him became super hit namely “jiya beqarar hai” and “chhor gaye balam”.Hasrat Jaipuri contributed in Raj Kapoor’s blockbusters like Awaara, Shree 420, Jis Desh Me Ganga Behti Hai, Sangam, etc,

Hasrat Jaipuri wrote it at the age of 20 fora neighborhood  girl whom he fell in love The girl named Radha. Raj Kapoor kept the name of Vaijayatimala Radha in the film Sangam. The association with Raj Kapoor continued till 1971. “After Jaikishan's death and the failures of Mera Naam Joker and Kal Aaj Aur Kal, Rajsaab changed his music team.
He wrote Lyrics for 350 films and 2000 recorded songs, Hasrat Jaipuri's last releases were Saazish with Jatin-Lalit .Some of his immortal songs are  "Zindagi ek safar hai suhana" (Andaz), "Teri pyari pyari soorat ko" (Sasural), "Pankh hote to ud aati re" (Sehra), "Tere khayalon meinhum" (Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne), " Tu kahan yeh bataa" (Tere Ghar KeSaamne), "Muhabbat aisi dhadkan hai" (Anarkali), "Tu mere saamne hai,teri zulfein hai khuli" (Suhagan), "Nain se nain" (Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje), "Ehsan tera hoga mujh par" (Junglee), "Teri zulfon se" (Jab PyarKisise Hota Hai) and "Tum mujhe yoon bhula na paaoge" (Pagla Kahin Ka) and add a whole range of songs like "Sayonara sayonara" (Love In Tokyo)," Aao twist karen" (Bhoot Bungla)."

GULZAR-The Legend Who Knows How To Weave Magic Through His Words

August 18, 2017 0 Comments

On the 83rd Birthday of Gulzar(18th Aug 1934 Born at Dina, Pakistan ),I look at the the songs and poetry he writes.His film journey started as a song writer with BANDINI(1963) with the famous song of Lata"Mora Gora Ang Layle"He is relevant even today.His songs are for every mood, and every occasion.He has hovered around in the background while you were at the nearest nightclub (Dhan Te Nan) or at the crossroads, worrying about your place in the big city (Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein...). He has helped you survive heartbreak (Mera Kuch Saamaan) and celebrate love (Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par).
He is a magician of words,he presents a different side to every emotion, and brought new meaning to every situation. He can say very convoluted things in simple words and can make simple inscrutable. It's up to you, what you like.

Song from Khamoshi, 1969

.His lyrics however did not gain much attention until the 1969's Khamoshi, where his song "Humne Dekhi Hai Un Aankhon Ki Mehekti Khushboo" became popular. The song for the film Guddi(1971 )  "Humko Man Ki Shakti Dena" was a prayer which is still sung in many schools in India.His song "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire(2008) brought him the Oscar Award.The song received international acclaim and won him a Grammy Award (shared with Rahman) in the category of Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.

He never chased the spotlight; it was the other way around. Interestingly, the enigma of this 83-year-old poet-director is more or less intact. Gulzar’s respect among his fans is something that makes them overlook his cynicism.He is unique in bollywood.There’s no poetry on the silver screen of Hindi cinema like Gulzar’s
Song from Bandini 1963
.
Remember the song Mera kuchh saamaan tumhaare paas pada hai,from Ijaazat sung by Asha Bhosle,The song recalls the bitter-sweet moments the lovers shared: 116 moonlit nights, surviving a rainy walk under a single umbrella, complaints and promises, and a night wrapped in a letter I doubt there are many who haven’t lived what is described here, who haven’t remembered these described moments long after they’re dead, and who haven’t cried a little in memory.
Song from Ishqiya 2010


Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein -the song from Gharonda (1977) sung by Bhupinder is another gem from Gulzar

Song from Gharonda 1977


Tum Pukar Lo Tumhara Intezar Hai -Khamoshi(1969) 

Song from Khamoshi(1969) 


 Naam Goom Jayega – Kinara (1977)

Dil Dhoondta Hai (Mausam) 
Song from Mausam 1975


Chhod Aaye Hum Woh Galiyan-Maachis
Song from Maachis 1996

Nazar Mei Rehte Ho from Aman Ki Asha

The journey that started with Mera gora rang lei le (Bandini, 1963) continues in all its glory, and in all possibility Gulzar’s repertoire is not yet short of deadly creations. Yes, we miss the director of timeless films such as Mere Apne, Koshish, Parichay, Mausam, Aandhi, Kitaab, Lekin, Ijazat and Maachis, but it’s fine as long as his pen is producing mesmerising songs.
Gulzar also wrote poetry, dialogues and scripts. He was awarded Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in India, the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award — the highest award in Indian cinema. He has won several Indian National Film Awards, 20 Filmfare Awards, one Academy Award and one Grammy Award.
