I am a lyrical man; words of the songs are often the most important part of the songs for me. Indeed, on the Facebook I have a page titled ‘Lyrical’ to honour and pay tribute to various lyricists. I have several (almost a dozen) posts onĀ my blog on my favourite lyricist and poet Shakeel Badayuni. The following posts about Rajendra Krishan have been reconstructed from the same page. Rajendra Krishan was considered the richest lyricist, writer and poet not only because he won a jackpot of Rupees 46 Lakhs in horse-racing.
Song #1
Mujhase mat poochh tere ishq mein kyaa rakha hai….
The era in which Shakeel Badayuni was active, belonged to Lyricists. Since the success of the movies’ success primarily depended upon their songs, and since songs were appreciated for their lyrics, the Lyricists were centre stage. One such lyricist of that era was Rajinder Krishan (he preferred to write his name with these spellings though his titles used various combos, the most frequent being Rajendra Krishan). I think of him as ‘Simla boy’ (my home station) since although he was born in Jalalapur Jatan (that part of Gujarat, which is now in Pakistan), his boyhood and early manhood was spent in Simla where he was a clerk in the elctricity department.
I share another interesting thing with him, in that a quarter of century later after he was born, I too was born on the 6th of June!
Even before I was born, he left Simla (now Shimla) and came to Bombay (now Mumbai) to try his luck in the Hindi film industry that had shifted there from Calcutta (now Kolkata).
One of the first music directors that he was associated with as Lyricist (initially, he tried his hand as a screenwriter) was C Ramchandra.
The movie from which I have taken this song to tell you about matching lyrics with Shakeel Badayuni was the 1953 movie Anarkali (earlier he wrote lyrics for the songs of Amar Kahani (1949; with MD Husanlal Bhagatram), Albela (1951; with C Ramchandra), Araam (1951; with Anil Biswas) and Ladki (1953; with R. Sudarsanam and Dhaniram).
Ananrkali was his second movie with C Ramchandra. Initially the MD was Vasant Prakash and after his death C Ramchandra took over. Its 11 songs were penned by four lyricist: Rajinder Krishan penned four of them and the others were by Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri and Jaan Nisar Akhtar (Jawed Akhtar’s father).
Some of you would tell me that Rajinder Krishan’s best lyrics are to be found in Adaalat (1958) and Jahan Ara (1964). But, those we shall come to later. Lets get on with 1953 movie Anarkali.
The story is thew same as that of Mughal-e-Azam (which came later) and hence I shall not repeat that. Pradeep Kumar acted as Prince Salim, Bina Rai as the courtesan Anarkali in the court of Emperor Akbar and Noor Jahan as Nur Jehan.
I feel that Rajinder Krishan excelled in the lyrics of this song in the very early stages of his career. The third stanza is so exquisite that at least I am rendered speechless with its simple beauty.
One more thing. Seven years later, Shakeel and Naushad created the songs of Mughal-e-Azam and they became iconic. However, Anarkali songs are as fondly remembered as of Mughal-e-Azam.
Please enjoy: Mujhase mat poochh tere ishq mein kyaa rakha hai….
dil kii lagii hai kyaa, ye kabhii dil lagaake dekh
aa.Nsuu bahaake dekh kabhii muskaraake dekh
paravaanaa jal rahaa hai magar jal rahaa hai kyaa
ye raaz jaananaa hai to khud ko jalaake dekh
mujh se mat puuchh mere ishq me.n kyA rakhaa hai
ek sholaa hai jo siine me.n chhuupaa rakhaa hai

Song #2
Shola jo bhadke…
The 1951 movie Albela was another one in which Rajinder Krishan paired with C Ramchandra to make some very memorable songs. The movie was written and directed by Bhagwan Dada who became famous for his moonwalk style of dancing in the movie. Geeta Bali acted opposite him. Two years after its Hindi release The film was later dubbed in Tamil as Nalla Pillai in 1953.
Rajinder Krishan and C Ramchandra created the following songs:
| 1 | Dil Dhadke Nazar Sharmaye | Lata Mangeshkar | Rajinder Krishan | 03:07 |

| 12 | Teri Yaad Ne Mara | Lata Mangeshkar & Chitalkar | Rajinder Krishan | 03:44 |
All songs of the movie became very popular. Shola jo bhadke was the most popular and has been recently remixed with Vidya Balan.
Please enjoy: Shola jo bhadke…..

Song #5
Remembering Sadhana on Her Birth Anniversary
Main to tum sang nain milake….
Sadhana was established as a fine actress in her debut film itself that had songs penned by Rajinder Krishan. Two years later Rajinder Krishan repeated the magic for her 1962 movie Manmauji that starred Kishore Kumar opposite her. Rajinder Krishan paired with Madan Mohan, a pairing that created some of the best songs of Lata Mangeshkar. It is also a fact that some of Lata’s best songs have been lip-synced by Sadhana.
Here is the list of songs created by Rajinder Krishan and Madan Mohan:
| 1 | Mai Toh Tum Sang Nain Milake | Lata Mangeshkar | 03:31 |
| 2 | Chanda Ja, Chanda Ja Re Ja | Lata Mangeshkar | 03:24 |
| 3 | Zaroorat Hai Zaroorat Hai | Kishore Kumar | 04:25 |
| 4 | Ek Thaa Abdul Rahamaan | Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar | 04:10 |
| 5 | Murge Ne Jhooth Bola (Kamal Barot) | Kamal Barot | 03:07 |

| 7 | Buraa Lagataa Hai | Kishore Kumar | 03:27 |
| 8 | Murge Ne Jhooth Bola (Asha Bhosle) | Asha Bhosle | 01:36 |
The song Main to tum sang nain milake is one of the top songs of Lata for Sadhana, the top most being O sajana barkha bahaar aayi for the movie Parakh that was penned by Shailendra and composed by Salil Chowdhury.
Please enjoy: Main to tum sang nain milake….

Song #7
Dheere se aaja ri akhiyan mein…
On the first day, we had just started taking on songs of 1951 movie Albela and then since it was Sadhana’s first birth anniversary after her demise on 25th Dec last year, I took up three songs that he wrote for her movies.
Lets now take up the lullaby song of Albela: Dheere se aaja ri akhiyon mein that has been sung in the movie twice; once solo by Lata Mangeshkar and then as a duet with Chitalkar just singing the mukhada and Lata singing the rest. C Ramchandra composed it in Raag Pilu, Tal Dadra and here it is the version sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

Song #8
Sham dhale khidake tale…
Patrons of Lyrical would tell me that it has been a long time since I gave a song in the Raag of my home station: Raag Pahadi, that is. The fact is that I am holidaying here and Pahadi is never too far from me.
In this, in addition to the lyrics of Rajinder Krishan, one has to give to C Ramchandra that he gives a song like Shola jo bhadake with typical western instruments and next he gives a song in Raag Pahadi, both in the same movie Albela and both starring Geeta Bali and Bhagwan Dada.
And, to bring out the versatility of the singers too, this too has been sung by Lata Mangeshkar and C Ramchandra.
Please enjoy in Raag Pahadi and Tal Dadra: Shaam dhale khidaki tale tum seeti bajaana chhod do…..
la: shaam Dhale, khi.Dakii tale

Song #9
Balma bada nadaan re…
I can put up another few songs of 1951 movie Albela. However, I end with this classic song that Geeta Bali sings for Bhagwan Dada when the naive guy from a poor family that he is (he has a double role in the movie; the other being rich and famous guy working in the same entertainment company wherein Pyarelal (Bhagwan Dada) found a job as a singer-dancer), he doesn’t understand that she has fallen in love with him.
Lata Mangeshkar sang this song on a composition by C Ramchandra.
Please enjoy: Balma bada nadaan re…

Song #10
Shukriya, shukriya, ai pyaar tera shukriya….
If Rajinder Krishan – C Ramchandra combine regaled us with their enchanting duets and delightful solos in 1951 movie Albela, in the movie Aaram starring Dev Anand, Madhubala, Pran and Talat Mehmood, the same year, Rajinder Krishan combined with Music Director Anil Biswas to give us some serious songs.
This one has been sung by Talat Mehmood and it is….well, typical Talat Mehmood.
Please enjoy: Shukriya, shukriya, ai pyaar tera shukriya….
shukriyA, shukriyA ai pyAr terA, shukriyA

Song #11
Ye zindagi hai yo-yo….
I gave you a serious song from 1951 movie Aaram: shukriya shukriya ai pyaar tera shukriya. This doesn’t mean that the movie had only serious songs.
I remember this song was western and light-hearted and sung by Manmohan Krishna on Anil Biswas’s music.
Here is a bet: I bet none of you will watch it only once, if you watch it at all. Anyone who would watch it just once, can send me a message with your email address and I shall send you a gift for having lost the bet. Your time is in the next three days,
In the meanwhile, please enjoy a song that we used to freak out on when we were small: Ye zindagi hai yo-yo….

Song #12
Baat chalat naii chunari rang daari….
For the last song of the day, I move on to the 1953 romantic comedy film: Ladki. The film was an AVM production starring Vyjayanthimala, Kishore Kumar, Bharat Bhushan, Anjali Devi and Chittor V. Nagaiah.
The film’s music was directed by R. Sudarsanam and Dhaniram and they composed six songs in the movie.
I am going to give you a song now that would be very nostalgic for old-timers like me. It was sung by Geeta Dutt on a composition of R Sudarsanam and Dhaniram. They did it in Raag Bhairavi and Tal Tintal.
Some of you have guessed it by now and so here it is.
Please enjoy: Baat chalat naii chunari rang daari….

Song #14
Ye zindagi usi ki hai…
Now that we are reminiscing about the year 1953, we have reached the Nandlal Jaswantlal movie Anarkali whose song Mujhase mat poochh mere ishq mein kya rakha hai was given by me as Song #1 on Day #1 as introduction to Rajinder Krishan’s music.
Anarkali preceded K Arif’s Mughal-e-Azam by seven years. Rajinder Krishan penned some of his finest songs for the movie and they all became iconic. Vasant Prakash composed just one song of the movie Aa Jaane Wafa, which was retained even though sung by Geeta Dutt when the new MD C Ramchandra wanted all female voiced songs to be sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Lets restart Ananrkali’s songs with this classic sung by Lata Mangeshkar and picturised on Bina Rai who acted as Nadira in the movie who was nicknamed Anarkali as a court-dancer in the court of Emperor Akbar and who Prince Salim (played by Pradeep Kumar) fell in love with.
This is the last song in her life Anarkali would sing before being buried alive in a wall for the crime of being in love with a prince.

Song #15
Zindagi pyaar ki do chaar ghadi hoti hai…
I am deleting a post of yesterday: Muhabbat aisi dhadkan hai since that was put up by mistake; the song having been penned by Hasrat Jaipuri.
I am replacing it with this one:
And the last song tonight is also from one of the best movies of Rajinder Krishan as lyricist, the 1953 movie Anarkali starring Bina Rai in the title role and Pradeep Kumar as Prince Salim (later to become Jehangir). He rebelled against his father Emperor Akbar for his love for a courtesan in his very court.
This is the song on Love even 63 years after the movie was made. C Ramchandra composed it. If the song reminds you of Lily of the Day, well that’s it. Life might be short but a life spent in Love is enough.
Please enjoy Hemant Kumar sing a song that is the equivalent of Jab raat ho aisi matwaali to subah ka aalam kyaa hoga. It is poignant even though she smiles because as per her promise to Emperor Akbar, after spending the night with Prince Salim she would be put in the dungeon and then die: Zindagi pyaar ki do chaar ghadi hoti hai…
zi.ndagii pyaar kii do chaar gha.Dii hotii hai

2. Ye zindagi usi ki hai – yesterday.
3. Zindagi pyar ki do chaar ghadi hoti hai – yesterday.
I am giving you now the last song penned by Rajinder Krishan in the movie. This too has been sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar on the composition by C Ramchandra in Raag Bageshri, Taal Dadra.

Song #17
Man dole mera tan dole……..
Nandlal Jaswantlal followed the success of 1953 movie Anarkali by directing Nagin the next year, in 1954. In Anarkali, he had songs penned by Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri and Jaan Nisar Akhtar, in addition to Rajinder Krishan. However, in Nagin, all twelve songs were penned by Rajinder Krishan. These songs, just like those of Anarkali, are still fondly played even today.
Here is the list of songs:
1 Been Music Kalyanji, Ravi
2 Man Dole Mera Tan Dole Lata Mangeshkar
3 Tere Dwar Khada Ek Jogi Hemant Kumar
4 Sun Rasiya Man Bhasiya Lata Mangeshkar
5 Yaad Rakhna Pyar Ki Nishani Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhosle, Chorus
6 Sun Ri Sakhi Lata Mangeshkar, Chorus
7 Mera Dil Ye Pukare Aaja Lata Mangeshkar
8 Jadugar Saiyan Lata Mangeshkar
9 Ari Chhod De Patang Lata Mangeshkar, Hemant Kumar
10 Mera Badli Mein Chhup Gaya Chand Lata Mangeshkar
11 O Zindagi Ke Denewale Hemant Kumar, Chorus
12 Teri Yaad Mein Jalkar Dekh Liya Lata Mangeshkar
13 Oonchi Oonchi Duniya Ki Deewarein Lata Mangeshkar
Hemant Kumar was the Music Director and Composer of the songs. Kalyanji and Ravi were his assistants in the movie.
We shall go on with the sequence as given above.
The first one became a super hit. It has the popular ‘been’ music that Kalyanji composed on clavioline and Ravi on harmonium. The mismatch in the movie is that Rajinder Krishan calls this ‘been’ as ‘bansuriya’. Other than that, it is a very fine song.
Please enjoy Lata Mangeshkar sing one of the best songs of 1954 movie Nagin: Man dole mera tan dole……..
(man Dole meraa tan Dole
mere dil kaa gayaa karaar re
ye kaun bajaaye baa.nsuriyaa ) – 2
madhur madhur sapano.n me.n dekhii maine raah navelii

Song #18
Tere dwar khada ek jogi
And the last song for today is the second song in the list of 12 songs that Rajinder Krishan penned for the 1954 movie Nagin starring Vyjayanthimala and Pradeep Kumar.
Since I am a fan of Hemant Kumar, both for his singing as well as his music, this is a favourite of mine since it has both. Watching this song you will know that whether it is Raj Kapoor or Pradeep Kumar, they can’t resist singing when Vyjayanthimala is bathing in a pond; the only place she had for bathing, from Nagin to Sangam!
Please enjoy: Tere dwaar khada ik jogi….

Song #19
Jadugar sainyan, chhod meri bainyan, ho gayi aadhi raat, ab ghar jaane de…..
The second day of the 1954 movie Nagin starring Pradeep Kumar and Vyjayanthimala, and directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal who directed the 1952 movie Aanrkali.
Nagin had twelve super hit songs and tonight we shall have three of them. We took up three yesterday and one day before. So by the time we finish tonight, we shall have seven songs in all from this movie.
The movie’s story has two snake charmer (or specifically poison collector) tribes who have considerable animosity between them. However, the siblings of the two tribal chiefs: Sanatan (Pradeep Kumar) and Mala (Vyjayanthimala) fall in love with each other and that creates problems.
They start meeting in a clandestine way.
This is my favourite song from the movie. It was composed by Hemant Kumar in Raag Brindavani Sarang, Tal Kaherava and sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
The lovers are at their place of tryst and she is reminding him that it is late and to let her go. It is very very enchanting indeed. Hats off to Rajinder Krishan for the super romantic lyrics.
Please enjoy: Jadugar sainyan, chhod meri bainyan, ho gayi aadhi raat, ab ghar jaane de…..

Song #20
Mera dil ye pukaare aaja….
We are taking up the songs of the 1954 movie Nagin that has some of the best songs penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed so well by Hemant Kumar (with Ravi and kalyanji assisting him) that had almost all of them becoming super-hits.
Sanatan and Mala are in love but they are of two different snake-poison collector tribes who are at each other’s throats. Hence, there are many obstacles in the paths of the lovers.
Separation is therefore on the cards.
Mala is put in a confinement never to meet Sanatan again and that’s when this song comes about.
Hemant da composed it in Raag Kirvani, Taal Kaherava.
Please enjoy another favourite of mine: Mera dil ye pukaare aaja….
meraa dil ye pukaare aa jaa
mere Gam ke sahaare aa jaa
bhiigaa bhiigaa hai samaa

Song #21
O zindagi ko dene wale, zindagi ko lene wale, preet meri chheen ke bataa tujhe kyaa mila…..
And the last song for tonight is one of the several sung by Sanatan to revive Mala when she is bitten by a dangerous King Cobra in order to save his life.
Regrettably, it is also the last song from me until we meet again after a week since I am going holidaying to Kulu, Manali.
This was sung by Hemant Kumar on his on his composition. Lyrics by our great lyricist #2 Rajinder Kumar are simply awesome.

Zamin chal rahi hai aasman chal raha hai
Okay, ladies and gents, I am back from a holiday to Manikaran, Manali, Rohtang Pass, Mandi, Rewalsar, Hamirpur and Bilaspur; and here I am recommencing the tribute to the lyricist Rajinder Krishan, leading to his death anniversary on the 23rd of September.
I was regaling you with the songs of the 1954 movie Nagin that he penned and which were composed by Hemant Kumar with Kalyanji and Ravi being his assistants.
From his next movie, the 1955 movie Pehli Jhalak, I like this song (a little rare) sung by Hemant Kumar on the composition of C Ramchandra.

Song #23
Kitana haseen hai mausam, kitana haseen safar hai
His next movie was the 1955 movie Azaad starring Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari. The songs that were penned by him and composed by C Ramchandra included the following:
1. Aapalam chapalam chap laayii re.
2. Dekho jii bahaar aayi, baaGo.n me.n khilii.n kaliyaa.N.
3. Jaa rii jaa rii o kaarii badariyaa.
4. Kabhii Kaamosh rahate hai.n … pii ke daras ko taras rahii.n a.nkhiyaa.N.
5. Kitanaa hasii.n hai mausam, kitanaa hasii.n safar hai.

8. Na bole, na bole, na bole re, ghuu.NghaT ke paT naa khole re.
9. O baliye o baliye chal chaliye kahaa.N chale.n.
We shall be taking up two of these tonight and the first one is this delightful romantic duet between Lata Mangeshkar and C Ramchandra. Normally the tragedy king and queen have been singing serious and sad songs in their movies. This was one movie (just like Kohinoor) in which they lip-synced some really light-hearted numbers. This was composed by C Ramchandra in Raag Darbari Kanada and Tal Kaherava.

Radha na bole, na bole, na bole re…..

Mori binati suno bhagwaan…..
For his next movie, the 1956 movie Taj, Hemant Kumar was once again the composer, just as in Nagin. Here is the list of songs they created together:

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you liked my choice of best songs of Rajinder Krishan so far. I have given you 25 songs in this part. I shall give you another 75 of them in the next three parts. As you go along, you will be stunned that some of the most beautiful Hindi songs have been penned by this lyricist who became rich both money-wise as well as because of the richness of his lyrics.
Please await Part II.
almanac at the times of morning and evening nautical twilights (when both the stars and the horizon can be seen by the naked eye), thus measuring their exact angle with the earth’s horizon in degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds. The idea was to fix the position of a ship at sea, far from shore objects, in comparison to the known position of some of these 57 navigational stars. Naturally, in order to fix the position of the ship with some accuracy, one would have to get 
more than two bearing lines. The accuracy and the fastness of the observations would ensure that most of the bearing lines (from more than two stars) would meet at a point and that would be the fixed position of the ship. Without boring you with complex details, this in essence is the theory of the celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation. During our formative years in the navy, all of us had to learn the intricacies of the astronavigation.
