RRR SONG #1 – MUJHE DARD E DIL KA PATA NA THA

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.

Song #1
Mujhe dard-e-dil ka pata na tha, mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye

Exactly Fifty Days to Go

Finally, the kind of inevitability that I entertained more than an year ago, is shared by all pillars of YKDN. Time has come to say goodbye.

By the time we bury this group on 08 Mar this year, we would have completed:

  1. A total of 195 Beautiful Duets.
  2. A total of 193 Raat or Din Songs.
  3. A total of 133 Zindagi or Jeevan Songs.

I shall be adding five songs to Beautiful Duets and seven to Raat or Din Songs to make these 200 each. Similarly, we may add 17 songs to Zindagi or Jeevan songs to make these 150. Thus, we the 50 RRR songs, we shall have 600 of some of the finest songs in this group on themes that are never far from our minds.

This Song

Hindi movies have songs on every emotion and some of us shall continue using songs to expressing our own emotions long after the group is buried.

After making my more than a dozen groups and pages, I have spent more time on YKDN than on any other group or page. Hence, I can be excused saying it with Majrooh Sultanpuri:

        मुझे दर्द-ए-दिल का पता न था
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	मैं अकेले यूँ भी मज़े में था 
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	
	यूँ ही अपने अपने सफ़र में गुम 
	कहीं दूर मैं कहीं दूर तुम
	कहीं दूर तुम
	चले जा रहे थे जुदा जुदा
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	मैं अकेले यूँ भी मज़े में था
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	
	न मैं चांद हूँ किसी शाम का
	न चिराग़ हूँ किसी बाम का
	किसी बाम का
	मैं तो रास्ते का हूँ एक दिया
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	मैं अकेले यूँ भी मज़े में था
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?
	
	मुझे दर्द-ए-दिल का पता न था
	मुझे आप किस लिये मिल गये?

Akashdeep – 1965 Movie

This movie was directed by Phani Majumdar for the primary reason that sometime or the other I shall be able to use this as an RRR Song. Thank you Phani, thank you Majrooh, thank you Chitragupt and thank you Mohammad Rafi. If you guys hadn’t given me this song, I won’t have known how to start my RRR Series.

My Own Poetry

My sister Manik Lakhkar Chava behna has objected to more than once that my posts lose their luster if I don’t put up my poems with them. So, here is one:

KAHAN HAIN HAMDARD?

आदत सी पड़ गई है हमें,
रखते हैं बन्द ज़ुबान।
वह बात बात पे लेते हैं,
हमारा ही इम्तिहान।

सब तो परिंदे हैं यहां,
दो घड़ी के हैं महमान।
पर उन्हें क्यूं यह लगता है,
उन्हीं का तो है जहान।

मेरा घर भी कुछ अजीब है,
जैसे हो कोई शमशान।
यहां लाश पड़ी है सपनों की,
वहां पड़े हैं मेरे अरमान।

अब तक तो खड़ा था,
ग़म ओ बेबसी के दरमियान।
अब तो वह भी मुझे देख के,
दिखते हैं बहुत हैरान।

जीने की सलाह देते हैं सब,
पर जीना नहीं है आसान।
शहर ए ज़िन्दगी बड़ा तो है,
पर गलियां हैं सुनसान।

आधी ज़िन्दगी बनाते रहे,
हम अपनी ही एक पहचान।
बाकी की ज़िन्दगी में अब,
मन करता है बनें अनजान।

इतनी बड़ी दुनिया में, रवि,
कोई एक तो होगा इन्सान।
दूसरों के दुख देख कर,
खुद को समझे पशेमान।

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Mujhe dard-e-dil ka pata na tha…

I hope you liked Song #1 in this series.

Please await Song #2: Koi lauta de mere beete huye din.

Author: Sunbyanyname

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
