Zindagi mein aaya toofan

Remembering Dara Singh on His Birth Anniversary 19 Nov

(Pic courtesy: prowrestling.fandom.com)

He was born on this day in 1928, a Punjabi Jat Sikh. Like many Punjabis before and after him, he was the epitome of gentlemanliness. He became a professional wrestler in Singapore and in the year 1954 became Rustam-e-Hind.

Two years before it, in the year 1952, he started his career as an actor in the movie Sangdil (Dilip Kumar and Madhubala with the immortal song Ye hawa ye raat ye chandini.

He emerged as a stunt actor and finally as a hero. His earthy style and Punjabi rustic way of delivering dialogues won him millions of fans. He also tried his hand at Direction and some of his movies include Nanak Dukhiya Sub Sansaar and Rustom (both of which I saw and liked).

As an actor, his unforgettable role as and in the movie Jagga made me cry. I also saw his King Kong, Rustam-e-Baghdad, Faulad, Samson and Lootera.

Aaya Toofan – 1964 Movie

I have taken this Zindagi song from the 1964 Kidar Kapoor movie Aaya Toofan starring him and Helen in the lead. Farooq Qaiser wrote the lyrics and Laxmikant Pyarelal composed them:

ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान
हुए आज सब पराये
दिन ये कैसे आये
दो घडी में आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान

फैली गमो की स्याही
मई हु मेरा हमराही
फैली गमो की स्याही
मई हु मेरा हमराही
ो माँगी न थी तुझसे दुनिआ
मैंने मोहब्बत चाही|
प्यार बनके आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान
हुए आज सब पराये
दिन ये कैसे आये
दो घडी में आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान

यद् करेगा जमाना
किस्मत का ये तडपना
यद् करेगा जमाना
किस्मत का ये तडपना
हो हीरो को ठुकराने वाले
चुनते है दाना दाना
हाय कैसा आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान
हुए आज सब पराये
दिन ये कैसे आये
दो घडी में आया तूफान
ज़िन्दगी में आया तूफान

As expected, the song has been sung very beautifully by Mohammad Rafi.

My Own Poetry

Toofan Se Hoon Anjaan

बात कहने से बात निकल आती है,
न कहूं तो बात बन जाती है।
बाहर तूफ़ान आने को है लेकिन,
अंदर धड़कन खामोश हुई जाती है।

इश्क़ की हवाएं तेज़ हुआ करती थीं,
लहरें उमड़ कर उनका ही दम भरती थीं।
दिल की रगें मेरी तो थीं लेकिन,
लगता था वह उनसे कुछ डरती थीं।

और फ़िर वह मुकाम भी आया,
ज़िन्दगी ने इस कदर हमें आजमाया।
जैसे दोनों के बीच आ गया हो,
भूले हुए ज़ख्मों का कोई साया।

क्या खबर उनको हो गया हूं दूर तूफ़ान से,
जैसे साहिल पे पत्थर पड़े हों बेजान से।
इन्सान तो इन्सान है लेकिन,
मैं तो बेरुख हुआ हूं भगवान से।

रहने दो यादों के शोलों को राख में,
पड़ा रहने दो मुझे वक़्त की ख़ाक में।
नहीं लगते हैं वह फूल कभी दोबारा,
एक बार टूट जो गए उस हरी शाख से।

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.
