As you are already aware, these blogs are being recreated from the posts on my Facebook page Lyrical wherein I started with this theme of giving you the best raaga based songs in Hindi movies on the 8th of Aug 2015. Presently, I am on my 24th Raaga: Raag Kafi. I have already given you blogs on Raaga Bhairavi (Part I, II and III), Yaman or Kalyan (Part I, II and III), Jhinjhoti (Part I, II), Darbari Kanada (Part I, II, and III), Bhimpalasi (Part I and II) Raag Khammaj, Raag Todi, and Raag Pilu Part I, which make only seven and a half of the twenty-four Raagas. This means that I have to make a determined effort to catch up. I had therefore decided to start giving you Raagas even as I put up on Lyrical, in addition to the back-log.
With this, lets start with our Ninth Raaga here (the 23rd Raaga on Lyrical): Raag Jaijaivanti.
The cover picture on Lyrical is from the 1955 movie Seema with Lata Mangeshkar singing for Nutan a great composition by Shankar Jaikishan, the best music duo in Hindi films who were very adept with Raaga based songs; Raag Bhairavi being their favourite. This song has special value for me now having attended Shankar Jaikishan Music Foundation Mumbai meet on Sunday, 19th June whereat Dinesh Shailendra Singh, son of lyricist Shailendra was present amongst other luminaries.
I belong to all the religions in the world. But, I am a Sikh by birth. Here is a Raag composed by the ninth guru of the Sikhs: Guru Teg Bahadur.
Raag Jaijaivanti is also spelled as Raag Jaijaiwanti. I have often given you the ten fundamental thaats of the Indian classical music. Raag Jaijaivanti belongs to the Khamaj Thaat.
Those of you, like me, who are familiar with the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, would know that Raag Jaijaivanti is considered a blending of two raagas that happen to come in the middle of SGGS of 1430 pages. However, the raag is not mentioned in the Raagmala at the end of SGGS on pages 1429-30. This raaga is also not mentioned in the list of raagas in any ancient scriptures about Indian classical music.
The time of the raaga is evening time. frpm 6 to 9 pm. Normally the season is summer season.
“A soul in whose life dawn has come finds its path. Duality has ended and soul has merged with God and garland of victory will be put around the neck of that soul. Four shabads recited by Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji in Raag Jaijawanti have come at the end. Soul has been freed from ‘Love for Body’ for ever. By giving new appearance, new shape and new musical form, Guru Sahib has caused a big new expansion and made it a tool to achieve peace for the soul.”
Song #1
Manmohna bade jhoote….
As far as Hindi movies are concerned, the first song that comes to mind in this Raaga, as I have already said above whilst describing the cover picture, is from the 1955 movie Seema starring Balraj Sahni and Nutan.
The movie, directed by Amiya Chakravarty had a very intense plot. Here is the story from Wikipidea:
“After her parents pass away, teenager Gauri (Nutan) goes to live with her paternal uncle, Kashinath (Shivraj), and his wife. She is ill-treated there, made to do all the housework, and verbally abused by her aunt. She is made to work as a servant for meager wages in another household, and her earnings are taken away by her aunt. One day, Kashinath is summoned to the Police Station where he is told that since Gauri has been convicted of stealing a necklace from her employer, she is placed under his care for 12 months. Kashinath undertakes to look after her, but she manages to escape, and beats up Bankelal (CS Dubey), who had originally accused her of stealing the necklace. The Police are summoned again, and this time Gauri is placed with Shree Satyanand Anathalaya, an orphanage run by a compassionate Manager, Ashok (Balraj Sahni). Gauri revolts against all the rules imposed upon her and she is placed in solitary, where she ends up breaking all the windows and furniture. Then one day she escapes, beats up Bankelal severely, and returns. She is once again placed in solitary. Then Ashok and his associate Murlidhar (Surender) find out that Bankelal had framed Gauri, and they inform the Police, who make Bankelal confess. In this way, Gauri gets a pardon, and is asked to leave the orphanage, but she refuses to do so and stays on after promising that she will always obey Ashok. When Ashok has a heart attack, she proposes to stay and look after him, but Ashok wants her to leave and get married to Murlidhar. The question remains, will Gauri disobey Ashok or keep her promise and get married to Murlidhar?”
The song portrays, as I said above, the excellence of the best music duo in Hindi films Shankar Jaikishen in Raaga based songs. Lyrics are, predictably, by Shailendra. The tal is Ektal.
The singer is Lata Mangeshkar.

Song #2
Yeh dil ki lagi kam kya hogi…
The second song of the Raaga composed by the ninth guru of the Sikhs: Guru Teg Bahadur.
Anyone at all knowing me knows that when a new Raag is started, as soon as possible, I return to Shakeel Badayuni and Naushad.
I had put up this song in Raag Gara too but some feel that it belongs to Raag Jaijaivanti.
Do you remember this part of the story of Mughal-e-Azam? Madhubala as Anarkali buys the life of her love Prince Salim (Dilip Kumar) from Emperor Akbar (Prithviraj Kapoor) by offering her own in exchange. She is granted one last wish; which is that she could spend a night with Prince Salim but must drug his drink so that he won’t resist when she is taken to the dungeon.
Shakeel Badayuni, the king of Irony, wrote the lyrics that are as ironical as they sound joyous. Naushad has composed them and Lata Mangeshkar sang it.

Song #3
Bairan ho gayi raina…
‘Bairan ho gayi raina’ is the title of our third and last song for tonight. It is from the 1957 movie Dekh Kabira Roya. Although the movie was a lighthearted comedy, it had some excellent songs thanks to the lyrics by Rajinder Krishan and compositions by Madan Mohan. Today, as I write this, it happens to be the Birth Anniversary of this great composer and music director.
This was sung by Manna De who excelled in classical and semi classical songs in Hindi movies.

Song #4
Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hain…
We started with our 23rd Raag yesterday, a raag composed by Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth guru of the Sikhs.
When two people fall in love, even their dreams become of the same hue. That’s the underlying theme of this song from the 1965 Dev Anand classic movie Guide directed by his brother Vijay Anand and which is listed at #4 in the Best Hindi Movies of all times.
The movie was based on a story by RK Narayan with the same title. A great deal of the success of the movie owes to its songs penned by Shailendra and composed by Sachin Dev Burman who directed music in most of Dev Anand movies.
Have a look at the songs of this movie:
“Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna” Lata Mangeshkar Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Din Dhal Jaaye” Mohammed Rafi Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Gaata Rahe Mera Dil” Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya” Mohammed Rafi Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Piya Tose Naina Laage Re” Lata Mangeshkar Waheeda Rehman
“Saiyaan Beimaan” Lata Mangeshkar Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Tere Mere Sapne” Mohammed Rafi Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman
“Wahan Kaun Hai Tera” Sachin Dev Burman Dev Anand
“He Ram Hamare Ramchandra” Manna Dey & Chorus Dev Anand
“Allah Megh De Paani De” Sachin Dev Burman Dev Anand
I have selected for you this one by Mohammad Rafi singing for Dev Anand and telling Nalini (Waheeda Rehman) that now that they are in love (to hell with the taboo about a married woman (she had a wretched marriage with the archaeologist Kishore Sahu who was more interested in ruins than in her) re marrying), they better see the world through the same eyes.

Song #5
Meri aankhon se koi neend liye jaata hai…
Next, I turn to this really beautiful Neend song from the 1964 AVM Production Pooja Ke Phool directed by Bhim Singh. The movie starred Ashok Kumar, Mala Sinha, Dharmendra, Pran, Nimmi and Leela Chitnis.
It had the genius of the pair of Rajinder Krishan as lyricist and Madan Mohan as music director who composed its songs. Some of Lata Mangeshkar‘s top songs were created by the duo. This is one of them.
Please enjoy in Raag Jaijaivanti: Meri aankhon se koi neend liye jaata hai….
Meri aankhon se koi neend liye jaata hai
Door se pyar ka paighaam diye jaata hai
Raatbhar jaagenge hum tumse chhup chhupke sanam
Aankh jhapke na kabhi chand taaron ki qasam
Dil mera aaj iqrar kiye jaata hai
Door se pyar ka paighaam diye jaata hai
Meri aankhon se koi neend liye jaata hai
Baat jo unse chali woh idhar aake ruki
Naam jab unka liya ek khushboo si udi
Ek tasavvur hai jo madhosh kiye jaata hai
Door se pyar ka paighaam diye jaata hai
Meri aankhon se koi neend liye jaata hai
Song #6
Muhabbat ki raahon mein chalna sambal ke….
The best of old Hindi songs, as I have mentioned any number of times, are with the quartet of Shakeel Badayuni as lyricist, Naushad as composer, Mohammad Rafi as singer and Dilip Kumar as actor. This happened in many movies. One of these was the 1955 movie Udan Khatola in which Nimmi acted opposite Dilip Kumar.
This song has Shakeel’s irony at its best; he brings out the uselessness of Love!

Song #7
Zindagi aaj mere naam pe sharmaati hai…
Third day of Raag Jaijaivanti based songs.
Lets begin, once again, with my favourite lyricist Shakeel Badayuni. This is from the 1962 movie Son of India, a movie that Mehboob Khan made after the 1957 iconic movie Mother India, which lost at the Academy Awards by just one vote. Mehboob Khan took up, in Son of India, relatively minor actors Kamaljit, Simi Grewal, Jayant and Kumkum.
He however, retained the team of Shakeel Badayuni as lyricist and Naushad Ali as Music Director and composer and they didn’t fail him in the excellence of the songs. This one was sung by Mohammad Rafi.
The movie had the following songs including the ever popular patriotic song: Nanha munha raahi hoon:
1. “Aaj Chhedo Mohabbat Ki” Lata Mangeshkar 3:57
2. “Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar” Shanti Mathur 3:58
3. “Chal Diye Peeke Gham” Lata Mangeshkar 3:05
4. “Dil Todne Wale” Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi 4:28
5. “Diya Na Bujhe Ri Aaj” Lata Mangeshkar, Chorus 3:14
6. “Insan Tha Pehle Bandar” Shanti Mathur 2:47
7. “Mujhe Huzoor Tum Se” Geeta Dutt 2:18
8. “Nanha Munna Rahi Hoon” Shanti Mathur, Chorus 4:13
9. “Zindagi Aaj Mere Naam” Mohammed Rafi 3:48

Song #8
Pyaare darshan dijo aaye…
The 1979 movie Meera starred Hema Malini in the title role of the Rajasthani princess Meerabai who was born in a royal family but she renounced everything in her deep devotion and love for Lord Krishna.
The movie itself was extraordinary in that it had Pandit Ravi Shankar, the sitar maestro as the music director. The songs/bhajans were sung by Vani Jairam, one of the finest exponents of Indian classical music. Of course, the bhajans were all written by Meerabai herself.

Song #9
Maare gaye gulfam….
For the last song of the evening, I am going to take a song from Teesri Kasam for the sole reason that yesterday I was honoured to meet Shailendra’s son Dinesh Shailendra at Shankar Jailkishan Music Federation Meet at Mumbai. The movie was produced by the lyricist Shailendra and starred Raj Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman.
The movie wasn’t a commercial success even though it won the National Award for Best Feature Film. However, many years later, it was critically acclaimed as a very fine movie.
The lyrics that Shailendra wrote for the songs of the movie are amongst his greatest, eg:
1. Sajan re jhoot mat bolo khuda ke paas jaana hai.
2. Duniya banane waale kya tere mann mein samaayi.
3. Chalat musaffir moh liyo re pinjare waali muniyaa.
4. Sajanva bairi ho gaye hamaar.
5. Paan khaayo sainyaa hamaro.
Shankar Jaikishan outperformed themselves in the compositions of the songs. So strong were the bonds between Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri, S-J and Raj Kapoor that Shailendra asked Hasrat Jaipuri to pen two songs for the movie.
And which songs? The movie’s story was based on a short story Maare gaye gulfaam by Phanishwarnath Renu. So, in asking Hasrat Jaipuri to pen this song, Shailendra virtually gave him the title song in his own production that was directed by Basu Bhattacharya.
It was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
One little thing more about the song. Yesterday, Yunus Khan, in an interactive audio based session referred to three of the songs of S-J as what he called as: “Happy-Sad Songs”; meaning that even though these were sad songs, these had lively music. Songs such as Anaadi’s Tera jaana fitted into this definition.
This one is another one that fits in with the description. It is fast paced and Waheeda could dance on it. However, it is a song that carried a sad emotion.

Song #10
Chandi ka badan, sone ki nazar….
Tonight lets start with Sahir Ludhianvi for a change. As is often the case with Sahir Ludhianvi, this has been composed by Roshan. The singers are several: Mohammad Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Meena Kapoor and Manna De.
The name of this 1963 movie is Taj Mahal that starred Pradeep Kumar as Shah Jehan and Beena Roy as Mumtaz. Everyone knows their historic love story that ended in Shah Jehan erecting the Taj Mahal in her memory; one of the seven wonders of the world.
One of the most wonderful things about the movie was its songs. These are some of the best by the team of Sahir Ludhainvi with Roshan:
1. “Jo Baat Tujh Mein Hai” Mohammed Rafi
2. “Jo Wada Kiya Wo” Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
3. “Jurm-E-Ulfat Pe” Lata Mangeshkar
4. “Qhuda-E-Burtur” Lata Mangeshkar
5. “Na Na Na Re Na Na, Haath Na Lagana” Suman Kalyanpur, Minoo Purshottam
6. “Paaon Chhoo Lene Do” Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
7. “Chandi Ka Badan” Mohammed Rafi, Manna Dey, Asha Bhosle, Meena Kapoor

Song #11
Badle badle mere sarkaar nazar aate hain….
And, after Sahir Ludhianvi, who was good no doubt, lets return to the best: Shakeel Badayuni. This is from Guru Dutt’s 1960 movie Chaudhvinh Ka Chand, which starred the ‘Living Legend” Waheeda Rehman in the title role. This song, a sad song after love went sour between them, was composed by Ravi and sung by Lata Mangeshkar for Waheeda Rehman.
Marvel at the mastery of each word crafted by the master craftsman: Shakeel (Handsome).

Song #12
Dhal chuki shaam-e-gham muskara le sanam…
I will tell you one major concern that I have whenever I put up Shakeel Badayuni; which is that how does one get out of the mood or the atmosphere that his lyrics create?
At the time when Chaudhvinh Ka Vhand was made, another 1960 movie was made and it was called Kohinoor. The movie was primarily made to get Dilip Kumar out of the depression that constantly playing sad and tragic roles had caused him.
If he was the tragedy king, Meena Kumari was an equivalent tragedy queen and she too needed a lighthearted role to get out of the sadness.
This song by Shakeel, therefore, gave hope rather than putting them in further gham and misery that his songs normally caused.
Naushad composed it and the God of Songs: Mohammad Rafi sang it.

Song #13
Sooni sooni saans ke sitaar par….
The other day – 19th June, Sunday to be exact – during the Shankar Jaikishan Music Foundation Meet in Mumbai, it was talked about how most of S-J’s songs were penned by Shailendra or Hasrat Jaipuri and how, only in later years that lyricists like Neeraj stepped in.
This is a song of the 1971 movie Laal Patthar in which Hema Malini had her only negative role in the movies. She, as Saudamani, acted as a jealous mistress of Zamindar Kumar Bahadur Gyan Shankar Rai played by Raaj Kumar. Raaj Kumar married Sumita played by Rakhee; although he was in love with Sadamani (whom he called Madhuri), he never married her and kept in his palace as a mistress. Later he found out that Sumita was earlier in love with Shekhar (Vinod Mehra) and hence the plot to get rid of him.
The movie had excellent songs composed by S-J, which included an outstanding one Unake khayaal aaye to aate chale gaye, which we have already covered in Raag Gara.
This one has been sung by Asha Bhosle.

Song #14
Dil shaam se dooba jaata hai….
Now that you had a song from 1971 movie Laal Patthar that brought out the singing excellence of Asha Bhosle, here is another of approximately a decade and a half before that.
It is from the 1958 movie Sanskaar starring Anant Kumar with Ameeta. Sarshar Sailani penned the lyrics. Other than this movie, he wrote lyrics for the songs of the 1949 movie Rakhi including Babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj prayyi re, and 1952 movie Bewafa.
Anil Biswas composed the song.

Song #15
And to end with Raag Jaijaivanti based songs tonight, this song is not from a Hindi movie but a Pakistani movie. Noorjehan sang for herself in the 1959 movie Koel or Koyal that starred her opposite Aslam Parvez.
Tanvir Naqvi who gave us that remarkably beautiful number in the 1956 movie Shirin Farhad (sung by Lata Mangeshkar): Guzara hua zamaana, aata nahin dobara, also penned this song.
Khurshid Anwar composed it.

aas ke taare Duube saare,
ghor a.ndheraa chhaayaa
tujh ko kahii.n na paayaa

biit gayaa hai ek zamaanaa,
kahii.n milaa na teraa Thikaanaa
tak tak haare nain bechaare,
kuchh bhii nazar na aayaa
tujh ko kahii.n na paayaa
tujh ko kahii.n na paayaa …
dil kaa diyaa jalaayaa,
dil kaa diyaa jalaayaa
mai.n ne dil kaa diyaa bujhaayaa
