Hi
I am starting a topic on Sahir Ludhianvi that has been posted in another forum before. It was started on his death anniversary, a nostalgia trip beginning with some of his romantic lyrics. Feel free to add on songs that make you feel mmmm....warm and woolly-headed , angry and passionate , sad and philosophical or just plain confused and... all those other complex emotions related to the thing called ...love??? Remembering him through his romantic duets: Situation: Dream Sequence. To expand upon it: the impoverished hero and the heroine express their love for each other in gorgeous surroundings, which would otherwise not be possible given the hero's depressing penury. Moreover the situation is literally a dream, which is not realised as the heroine later on opts for a more stable marriage with a well established publisher. Note the wonderful lyrics, the entire song is posed as question upon question with the female counteracting the male's romantic metaphors with her teasing counter images... Wonderfully captures the mood of the film and yet stands on its own as classic romantic chedkhani. Hum aap ki aankhon mein is dil ko basa dein to Hum moond ke palkon ko is dil ko saza dein to Hum aap ki aankhon mein is dil ko basa dein to In zulfon mein goondege hum phool mohabbat ke Zulfon ko jhatak kar hum yeh phool gira dein to Hum aap ko kwaabon mein la la ke satayenge Hum aap ki aankhon se neendein hi uda de to Hum aap ke kadmon par gir jayenge ghas khakar Is par bhi na hum apne aanchal ki hawa dein to Hum aap ki aankon mein is dil ko basa dein to Hum moond ke palkon ko is dil ko saza dein to "This isn't right, this isn't even wrong." Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) "There are no facts, only interpretations." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) |

Thanks Vivek, and please call me Madhavi. Ji gives me some "ji"tters
Setting the scene for romance... Weather and the ambience permitting, the lovers gear up to admit to the great emotion... Jaal:1952:SDB Ye raat ye chandni phir kahan Sun ja dil ki dastaan.. Joru Ka Bhai:1955:Jaidev Surmai raat hai sitare hain...aaj dono jahan hamare hain Subah ka intezaar kaun kare Phir ye rut ye sama mile na mile Aarzoo ka chaman khile na khile Waqt ka aetbaar kaun kare.. House No.44 : 1955:SDB Chup hai dharti chup hain chand sitare Mere dil ki dhadkan tujhko pukare Vaasna:1968:Chitragupt Ye parbaton ke daere ye shaam ka dhuaan Aise mein kyun na ched de dilon ki dastaan... Girlfriend:1960:HK Kashti ka khamosh safar hai shaam bhi hai tanhai bhi Door kinare par bajti hain lehron ki shehnai bhi Aaj mujhe kuch kehna hai Love this Kishore gem from the sixties. Interesting song, the lover sets the scene for the song, and the girl is impatient to hear him confess to his love, and yet by the end of the song, he has not said the "kuch" that he sets out to say at the beginning. A teaser of a confession, he manages to get the girl to admit to the emotion, gets a commitment for the relationship and then... "Chodo ab kya kehna hai" ... Smart man... Sahir playing with words again, setting the scene and then undermining it, suggesting that commitment does not really need verbal expression... Do add on more "ambience" songs to this list... Am uploading two of the above songs from Girlfriend and Joru ka Bhai. "This isn't right, this isn't even wrong." Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) "There are no facts, only interpretations."
