I started this series on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne on 23 Aug 20. Since then, many other members have put up these songs. Here, I shall be giving you one of my own, per day.
Last time, I gave you Beautiful Duet #52 – Ye raatein, ye mausam, nadi ka kinara. So here, then, is the next one:
Song #53
Bahut shukriya, badi mehrbani
OP Nayyar – SH Bihari
Shamsul Huda Bihari, born in Arrah, Bihar, must rank amongst the most underrated lyricists in the Hindi films industry. And yet, it is pleasantly surprising to see the range and popularity of his songs.
As far as OP Nayyar is concerned, he made all hit songs that include Bahut Shukriya Badi Meherbani, and Mujhe Dekhkar Aapka Muskurana (Ek Mussafir Ek Haseena, 1962); Diwana Huwa Badal, Hai Duniya Usi Ki, Isharon Isharon Mein Dil Lene Waale, Meri Jaan Balle, Phir Thes Lagi Dil Pe, Subhan Allah, Tarif Karun Kya Uski, Kisi Na Kisise Kabhi Na Kabhi, and Balamaa Khulii Havaa Mein (Kashmir Ki Kali, 1964); “Yehi Woh Jagah Hai, Phir Miloge Kabhi, Is Baat Ka Wada Karlo, Aap Se Maine Meri Jaan Mohabbat Ki Hai, Main Shayad Tumhare Liye Ajnabi Hoon, and Mera Pyar Woh Hai Ke (Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi, 1966); Zara Haulle Haulle Challo Mere Sajna, Zulfon Ko Hata Le Chehre Se, Aaj Koi Pyar Se, Meri Jaan Tum Pe Sadhke, Jo Dil Ki Tadap Na Jane, and Khuda Huzoor Ko Meri Bhi Zindagi De De (Sawan Ki Ghata, 1966); Raaton Ko Chori Chori, Na Jaane Kyon, Mehfil Mein, Tumhari Mulaqat Se, Yeh Purnoor Chehra, Nazar Nazar Se Milaao, Tum Sab Se Haseen Ho and Kyar Cheez Ho Zaalim (Mohabbat Zindagi Hai, 1966); Chain Se Hamko Kabhi Aapne Jeene Na Diya, and Ek Tu Hai Piya Jis Pe Dil Aa Gaya (Praan Jaaye Par Vachan Na Jaaye, 1974); Badan Gora Haseen Jalwe Tumko Deewaana Meri Jaan,Ghar Apna Bangaal Aur Bambai Mein Hai Sasuraal, Gham Yateemon Ke Jaisa Bhi Sansaar Main Koi Bachcha, Kisko Gale Lagaaye Dil Kiska Todiye, Pyaar Bhara Kajara Aankhiyon Mein Daal Ke, Saaqi Ki Nigaahon Seae Jee Hoga Kya Aage and Zulf Lehraayi To Saawan Ka Mahina Aa Gaya (Khoon Ka Badla Khoon, 1978).
Ek Musafir Ek Haseena
This 1962 movie was directed by Raj Khosla and starred Joy Mukherjee and Sadhana in the lead roles. During those days, directors, pandering to popular tastes, often, didn’t know how to make well packaged movies. Generally, the second halves dragged. So did this too. However, as was often the case with movies of those times, the songs were greater than the movies.
This movie had super hit songs, as was the case with SH Bihari – OP Nayyar movies:
1. “Mujhe Dekhkar Aapka Muskuraana” Mohammed Rafi
2. “Humko Tumhare Ishq Ne Kya Kya Bana Diya” Mohammed Rafi
3. “Phir Tere Shehar Mein Lootne Ko” Mohammed Rafi
4. “Bahut Shukriya, Badi Meharbaani” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
5. “Aap Yun Hi Agar Humse Milte Rahe” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
6. “Main Pyar Ka Raahi Hoon” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
7. “Tumhen Mohabbat Hai Humse Maana” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
8. “Zabaan-E-Yaar Man Turki, Nami Daanam” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
9. “Udhar Woh Chaal Chalte Hai” Asha Bhosle
10. “Meri Nazren Haseen Hai, Ke Tum Ho Haseen” Asha Bhosle
The Lyrics
र: बहुत शुक्रिया बड़ी मेहरबानी
मेरी ज़िन्दगी में हुज़ूर आप आए
कदम चूम लूँ या ये आँखें बिछा दूँ
करूँ क्या ये मेरी समझ में न आए
बहुत शुक्रिया…
करूँ पेश तुमको नज़राना दिल का
नज़राना दिल का
के बन जाए कोई अफ़साना दिल का
खुदा जाने ऐसी सुहानी घड़ी फिर – २
मेरी ज़िन्दगी में पलट के न आए
बहुत शुक्रिया…
खुशी तो बहुत है, मगर ये भी ग़म है
के ये साथ अपना कदम दो कदम है
मगर ये मुसाफ़िर दुआ माँगता है – (२)
खुदा आपसे किसी दिन मिलाए
बहुत शुक्रिया…
आ:
मुझे डर है मुझमें ग़ुरूर आ न जाए
लगूँ झूमने मैं सुरूर आ न जाए
कहीं दिल ये मेरा ये तारीफ़ सुनकर – (२)
तुम्हारा बने और मुझे भूल जाए
बहुत शुक्रिया…
