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) |

Unni and Nasir Ji
Thank you for your warm appreciation. By the way Nasir Ji, as I keep saying no Madhavi ji, only Madhavi. I checked on the two great threads that you have started on Mohd. Rafi Sahab, after reading Unni's comment. My loss that it was the first time I had visited those threads. Anyway, der aaye par durust aaye. Will keep tabs on both of 'em now. I enjoyed all the incidental details that you had included about the movies along with the translations. And how wonderful to have actually met Sahir. We definitely look forward to having some insights from you. Just realised that a longish post by Anupama is lost, I hope she has saved it... BC, if you have that long comment about Sahir's verse that you had posted in response to the Bahu Begum song, please post it again. I was planning to translate it as you had requested.

Just realised that a longish post by Anupama is lost, I hope she has saved it... I too am looking forward for that mail, I vaguely remember it. So if she or someone else has saved it, plz post it. Anyway I think we need to hear more often from someone who has walked on the same portals as Sahir. |
