I started this series on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne on 18 Oct 20. Since then, many other members have put up these songs. Here, I shall be giving you one of my own, per day.

I hope you liked my choice for Song #53 – Dil laga kar ham ye samajhe in Zindagi or Jeevan Songs series. Let’s start with Song #54.

Song #54
Chandni aayi banake pyar O sajna
Theme-word: Jeevan mein preet na ho, Yeh bhi hai raat koi

Remembering Geeta Bali on Her Death Anniversary 21 January

She was 19 years old when Dulari was released. It was an important movie in her career as it was an Abdul Rashid Kardar movie that starred Madhubala in the title role and also Geeta Bali and Suresh. You see her at the end of the heavenly song: Suhani raat dhal chuki.

Goes without saying that the songs of the movie were penned by Shakeel Badayuni and composed by Naushad.

This was sung by Shamshad Begum for her and shows one her most delectable dances. She is, of course, another gypsy girl in the movie as was Madhubala in the title role.

Here are the lyrics:

चांदनी आई बनके प्यार ओ सजना, ओ सजना
लगी मेरे दिल पर कतार ओ सजना, ओ सजना
जीवन में प्रीत ना हो, ये भी है रीत कोई
देखो जी मेरे बिना, गाना ना गीत कोई
टूट न जाए दिल के तार ओ सजना, ओ सजना
लगी मेरे दिल….

बेदर्दी सैयां मुझ दुखिया की लाज रहे
कहने की बात नहीं अब तुमसे कौन कहे
सुन लो मेरे दिल की पुकार ओ सजना, ओ सजना
लगी मेरे दिल….

अँखियाँ मिला कर ज़रा उल्फत का रंग भरो
मेरे बन जाओगे तुम इसका इकरार करो
आता नहीं दिल बार बार ओ सजना, ओ सजना
लगी मेरे दिल….
चांदनी आई बन के …

My Own Poetry

Phir Yaad Ne Tadpaya…

आज फिर तसव्वर में उनका दीदार हो गया
खुदा की रहनुमाई पे फिर से ऐतबार हो गया
ना मेरे करीब हैं वो ना मुझसे दूर रहते हैं
फिर से दिल की अफरा तफरी का आसार हो गया
ज़िन्दगी सेहरा बनी थी उनकी अलैहदगी में
उनके मिलते ही आलम गुलज़ार हो गया
हमने माना करामात-ऐ- ख्याल ही था लेकिन
चंद लम्हों के लिए दिल खुशगवार हो गया
मुझे यकीन है तग़ाफ़ुल मुझे वह नहीं करते
उनकी खामोशी से ही इश्क़ का इज़हार हो गया
हैरत तो उनको खूब होगी मेरे अंदाज़-ऐ-वफ़ा पे
अब मुझे अपनी तन्हाई से भी प्यार हो गया

The Song

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.
