Fauji azizon, is waqt Majrooh Sultanpuri aap se mukhaatib hai. Aap watan-e-aziz ki anmol khidmat kar rahe hain. Aap ke kuch pal halka kar sakoon, isliye aaj bhi main kuchh naye puraane geet lekar haazir huya hoon. Film Andaz ke is geet mein maine ek vaada kiya tha, aaj bhi wohi dohra raha hoon. Sangeetkaar the Naushad sahab aur gaaya tha marhoom Mukesh ne.
[Dear military brethrens, it is Majrooh Sultanpuri talking to you at present. You are rendering valuable service to our beloved nation. I have come here to present a few old and new songs to you in an effort to momentarily lighten the burden of your onerous job. In this song of Andaz, I had made a promise, and I have been living upto that till now. Naushad was the music director and this song was sung by Late Mukesh.]
Song: Tu kahe agar jeevan bhar main geet sunaata jaayun (Andaz)
Fauji bhaiyon, maine jo aap se vaada kiya tha usey aaj bhi poora kar raha hoon. Aap kabhi kabhi bechain ho jaate honge, main bhi bechain hota hoon, to mujhe bhi apni bechainion mein shareeq kar leejiye. Film hai Mere Jeevan Saathi, sangeekaar R D Burman, aur gaaya hai Kishore Kumar ne.
[Military brethrens,I am still fulfilling the promise that I made to you in the earlier song. There may be occasions where you may lose patience. I lose patience too. So please count me in among the impatient people. The movie is Mere Jeewan Saathi, music director is R D Burman, and it has been sung by Kishore Kumar.]
Song: O mere dil ke chain (Mere Jeevan Saathi)
To mere sipaahiyon, mere azizon, yeh to thi unki baat jinka dil ke chain se rishta hai. Maidaan-e-jung se baahar nikal kar aap ko bhi dil ke chain ki talaash hogi. To leejiye aap ki is talaash mein shaamil hoon main, sangeetkaar O P Nayyar aur marhoom Mohd Rafi.
[My dear armymen, the earlier song was for the impatient people. You too may be in the search for peace of mind outside the battle field. Let me join you in your search. The musc director is O P Nayyar and the singer is Late Mohd Rafi.]
Song: Jawaniya yeh mast mast bin peeye (Tumsa nahin dekha)
To mere sipaahiyon, ab ek khushkhabri bhi sun leejiye jise maine, R D Burman ne aur Lata ne milkar aap ke saamne pesh kiya hai. Film hai Saverewali Gaadi.
[Well my army friends, now is the time for a happy news. So listen to it, which has been a joint presentation by me, R D Burman and Lata. The movie is "Sawerewali Gaadi."]
Song: Din pyar ke aayenge sajaniya (Saverewali Gaadi)
To mere aziz fauji bhaiyon, Lataji ki is awaaz ke baad, waise to sabhi ko aap ne apne dilon mein basaaya hai, yeh meri zaati pasand hai, bura maanne ki koi baat naheen, lekin Lataji ki awaaz sunne ke baad jee naheen chaahta ki koi doosri awaaz aaye. Yeh awaaz sadiyon mein paida hoti hai. To Baharon Ke Sapney film ka ek gaana pesh hai jise likha maine aur sangeet R D Burman ka hai. Dekhiye, kaisa lagta hai!
[My beloved military brethren,though you like all the artists,it is my personal opinion, and one should not mind it, that after listening to a song sung by Lata, it is difficult for me to bear to listen to another voice. A singer like her is born once in many centuries. I present to you a song from the movie " Baharon Ke Sapney" which was written by me and the music was by R D Burman. Listen to it and see how you find it.]
Song: Aaja piya tohe pyar doon (Baharen Ke Sapney)
To mere azizon, fauji bhaiyon, yaad aa raha hai ek geet jise banaya tha maine, gaaya tha marhoom Rafi ne, jiski goonj sunaaee dee thi, ki baat kabhi aisi ho jaati hai, ki aadmi ko kehna padta hai…
[My beloved military brethrens, I am being reminded of a song which I had written, and which was sung by late Rafi. There are occasions when people are forced to say this...]
Song: Kya huya tera vaada (Hum Kisi Se Kam Naheen)
To mere naujawaan doston, yeh jo vaada-khilaafi ki baat hai, kabhi kabhi yeh mahez chhed-chhaad ke liye kiya jaata hai aur kabhi kabhi galat-fehmi ki wajah se. Film Sagar mein Lata aur Kishore ki awaaz pesh hai, sangeet R D Burman, aur isey likha hai Javed Akhtar ne. Kaun Javed? Aap ne story aur dialogue writer Salim Javed ki jodi ke baare mein to suna hi hoga. Wohi Javed jo na keval achchhi kahaaniyaan likhta hai, balki ek achchhe shaayar aur geetkaar bhi hain. Zara suniyega…
[My dear young friends, as far as this betrayal is concerned, it could sometimes be nothing more than just teasing, and sometimes it could be due to misunderstanding. Here is a song from the movie " Sagar" in the voices of Lata and Kishore, music is by R D Burman, and it is written by Javed Akhtar . Javed who ? You must have heard about the story and dialogue writer duo of Salim Javed. It is that same Javed who not only writes stories, but who is a good poet and lyricist too. Just listen...]
Song: Sagar kinare dil yeh pukaare (Saagar)
Saagar ke saath pahaadon ki yaad aa jaati hai. Mujhe pahaadon se bhi lagaav hai. Aap jo apna behatareen waqt pahaadon, jangalon mein guzaar dete hain, to isi baat par Madhumati ka gaana pesh hai. Sangeetkaar Salil Choudhury, geet likha hai Shailendra ne, aur gaaya hai Lata ne, khudaa hamesha zinda rakhe inko, dekhiye isme ek jawaab sa hai.
[If one is talking of sea (saagar), talk of mountains is bound to come up. I love mountains. You spend your precious time living on mountains, jungles etc, and while talking about them, here is a song from "Madhumati". Music director is Salil Choudhury, the song is written by Shailendra , and it has been sung by Lata. May God keep her alive always, see there is some sort of a reply in this.]
Song: Aaja re pardesi (Madhumati)
Bhaiyon, waise to hum jaante hain ki top ke gole se khelna aap ke liye ek maamooli amal hai, aap to jaanbaaz veer sipaahi hain jinhe koi gham chhoo hi naheen sakta, lekin aap insaan bhi hain, aap ke dil mein bhi jasbe hain, kabhi koi to waqt aaya hoga jab aap udaas hote honge, dukhi hote honge, to yeh udaasi badaa waqtee ho. Maine aur Laxmikant Pyarelal ne aur marhoom Pafi ne milke kaam ki baat bataani chaahi hai is geet mein. Agar aisa koi waqt ho to isey yaad rakhiyega, isme kaam ki baaten hain.
[Brothers, though it is well known that playing with cannonballs is no great deal for you, and brave soldiers like you are not easily touched by gloom, but you are human beings too, you too have feelings, and you too may have had occasions when you felt sad. This sadness is temporary. I alongwith Laxmikant Pyarelal and Lat Rafi have tried to tell this fact in this song. If there is an occasion when you need to think about it, please do so, since this song has some useful messages.]
Song: Raahi manwa dukh ki chinta kyun sataati hai (Dosti)
Achchha fauji azizon, jee to chaahta hai ki yeh mulaaqaat der tak qaayam rahe, par waqt bada bedard hota hai. Yeh milaata bhi hai aur judaa bhi kar deta hai. Bas yahi kahoonga ki watan ki shaan bhi tum ho, jaan bhi tum ho. Jai Hind, khuda haafiz!
[Well military brethrens, I would dearly love this meeting to prolong for a long time, but time is not so considerate. Time unites us and time separates us too. I will just say that you are the pride of the nation as well as the life of the nation. Jai Hind, Good bye.]
Wonderful guldasta of songs from Majrooh.
And well-presented too.
I like in particular, “aaja piya” from Baharon Ke Sapne.
It feels very real – it touches you.
Thanks, Raja. So far you are the only one to cooment on this blog. Hopefully more likeminded people will join and this will became a well attended caravan too.
Atul, I think this blog is not that well-known to people.
I just stumbled upon it by chance.
Now that you have a few blogs, in each blog you should maybe say something like “if you like this blog, why don’t you check out my other blogs ?” and make them more visible ?
I am pretty sure it is more because of lack of awareness than anything else that people have not visited much here yet.
