However, my favourite in Lyrical excellence is Mitti se khelate ho baar baar kis liye. Patita has two other songs penned by Shailendra: Kisi ne apna bana ke mujhako muskarana sikha diya, and Hai sabase madhur woh geet jise ham dard ke sur mein gaate hain. Indeed, when it came to S-J’s songs, we always keep going, like a metronome, between Shailendra and Hasrat.
#MANN BASIYA TERE NAAM SONG TRANSLATION MOVIE#
A song from this movie has a mukhada that is the title of a Facegroup group of mine: Yaad Kiya Dil Ne though penned by Hasrat Jaipuri. Let me recall this one from his 1953 movie Patita starring Dev Anand and Usha Kiran. Mai.n baat zamaane kii maanuu.N, yaa baat sunuu.N apane dil kii Kuchh aur zamaanaa kahataa hai, kuchh aur hai zidd mere dil kii Please enjoy: Kuchh aur zamaana kehta hai…. Many people used to comment upon the likeness of her voice to Geeta Dutt with whom she was a friend.īut, this song has to be appreciated most for its exquisite lyrics by Shailendra! I get floored by them every time I listen to them. She was, of course married to Anil Biswas. She became famous for her 1957 movie Pardesi song: Rasiya re man basiya re. This is, however, composed in Gaur Sarang by Anil Biswas and the tal is Dadra. Whilst giving you the description of Raag Sarang on Lyrical, I had mentioned the various names by which Sarang is known, the most popular being Brindavani Sarang. You would also appreciate the setting of this great song (and I urge you to see it please) in a boat. As some of you would know, Motilal died before the movie was released. The movie was written, produced and directed by Motilal. I am particularly fond of Patita’s Mitti se khelte ho baar baar kis liye and this from the 1965 movie Chhoti Chhoti Baatein that starred Nadira and Motilal. There are hundreds of his lyrics to appreciate. Shailendra at work (Pic courtesy: JungleKey.in) Shailendra thereafter took us on a better journey than he would have in the Indian Railways. If Raj Kapoor hadn’t noticed his poetry in a mushaira in Bombay in the year 1947, Shailendra would have probably continued working in the railways! And then first Aag (1948) and then Barsaat (1949) took place. His son Dinesh Shankar Shailendra brought out to us during the Shankar Jaikishan Music Foundation’s Mumbai Meet that we had on the 18th June 16 that amongst all of them, Shailendra was the only one who knew English and hence all contracts for the S-J and Hasrat were perused by him for correctness before asking them to sign! He and Hasrat Jaipuri associated with Shankar Jaikishan to create some of the best known songs in the Hindi movies. He was born on 30th Aug 1921 in Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan). Shailendra Kesarilal was one such lyricist. If you have seen the movie Adaalat, you would know how aptly the lyrics fit with the story-line and the emotions of Nargis. Khud dil se dil ki baat kahi aur ro liye.” Gham raah mein khade the wahin saath ho liye, “ Ghar se chale the ham to khushi ki talaash mein, I can give you several examples, such as Rajinder Krishan‘s: We may not remember the story-line of a movie after so many decades, but we do remember the lyrics. In the era in which I was brought up, good lyrics simply ruled the scene. I am, as you already know, a ‘Lyrical’ man in the same sense (though lacking in equivalent excellence) as my friend Anand Desai is an Instrumental man. When I was giving you Shakeel Badayuni’s songs during the Countdown to his Birth Centenary on 03 Aug, I started giving you, one song a day from his contemporary lyricists starting with Shailendra. The following posts about Shailendra have been reconstructed from the same page. I have several (almost a dozen) posts on my blog on my favourite lyricist and poet Shakeel Badayuni. Indeed, on the Facebook I have a page titled ‘Lyrical’ to honour and pay tribute to various lyricists. I am a lyrical man words of the songs are often the most important part of the songs for me.
