I love this song..what a beautiful singer.... I can never forget that as a child when I heard the song Bekarar hein Koi...from Shamma Parwana, I was amazed at her singing...I can say without hesitation that she matched Rafisaab note to note in this song.

Wonderful song, Usrafian!
Suraiya was great in this song, and always... and Sajjad Hussain was quite a genius! SS, you know what musical instrument he could play like a master? His sons too play that instrument... Heard the interview of his son on Ameen Sayani's radio show... only regret was that I could not record it.

Mandoline. Sajjad's son, Noor Mohammed, plays it regularly and superbly at Manohar Iyer's "Keep Alive" programmes in Mumbai, and reminds the audience of his genius father, the one and only Sajjad Hussain.

The occasion was Award Ceremony for the film- Mirza Galib (1954) in the honorary presence of Prime Minister Pt.Nehruji. When the Her Majesty came on dais to receive the award for best female artist & singer, Pt.Nehruji exclaimed ‘Wow, To Ye Hain Galib Sahab Ki Mashuka. Wah!” & he himself handed the award to her. Such was the grace of Her Majesty.

Writen well advanced by a century by Gaalib was amazingly, word-by-word, very much true for her...


Ye Na Thii Hamari Kismat Ke Vasl-E-Yaar Hota
Gar Aur Jeete Rehate , Yahi Intezaar Hota

Tere Waade Pe Jiye Hum To Ye Jaan Jhuth Jaana
Ke Khushi Se Mar Na Jaate Gar Eitbaar Hota

Huye Mar Ke Hum Jo Rushwa, Huye Kyuun Na Gark-E-Dariya
Na Kabhi Janazaa Uttha Na Kahin Mazaar Hota

Koii Mere Dil Se Pucche Tere Teer-E-Nimkash Ko
Ye Khalish Kahan Se Hoti Jo Jigar Ke Par Hota

Kahuun Mein Ki Kis Se Kya Hai, Shab-E-Gam Burii Balaa Hai
Mujhe Kya Buraa Tha Marna Gar Ek Baar Hota.

Ye Kahaan Ki Dosti Hai Ke Bane Hain Dost Naase
Koii Chaara-Saaj Hota Koii Gam-Gusaar Hota

Rag-E-Sang Se Tapkataa, Vo Lahoo Ke Phir Na Thamtaa
Jise Gam Samajh Rahe Ho Ye Agar Saraar Hota



She loved & lived AND will live forever in loving hearts..... Click to view attachment

SUPERB!! BRO, you made my day!! Absolute GEM.
No one can match the sweetness of Suraiya's voice.

Thanks, Pradeep-ji... I'd missed your post and saw it today when the thread came up again...

For Suraiya, Mirza Ghalib was the pinnacle of her career. What an incredibly beautiful voice and utterly graceful woman Suraiya was. Ghulam Mohammad composed fabulous music for Mirza Ghalib to bring out the best of Suraiya. I feel immensly sad that for each of these song, they could not use the full ghazal composed by Ghalib. In the above song they have used only the first 3 couplets.

Personally I think, the state of Suraiya's mind, the way she spent last 40 years of her life is best reflected in another of Ghalib's immortal couplet, which incidently Suraiya recites in the movie

"Humne Maana Ki Taghaful Na Karoge Lekin
Khak Ho Jaayenge Hum Tum Ko Khabar Honey Tak"

***
Aah Ko Chaahie Ek Umr Asar Hone Tak
Kaun Jiitaa Hai Tere Zulf Ke Sar Hone Tak

***
Aashiqii Sabr Talab Aur Tamannaa Betaab
Dil Kaa Kyaa Rang Karuun Khuun-E-Jigar Hone Tak

***
Ham Ne Maanaa Ke Tagakul Na Karoge Lekin
Khaak Ho Jaaenge Ham Tum Ko Khabar Hone Tak

***
Gam-E-Hastii Kaa 'Asad' Kisase Ho Kuz-Marg-E-Ilaaj
Shamaa Har Rang Mein Jalatii Hai Sahar Hone Tak

'Bezaar' can be well defined in following lines & in the song by Her Majesty :--

Rahiye Ab Aisi Jagah Chal Kar Jahaan Koi Na Ho
Ham Sukhan Koi Na Ho Aur Ham Zubaan Koi Na Ho.

Be-Daro-Deevaar-Sa Ek Ghar Banaaya Chaahiye
Koi Ham Saaya Na Ho Aur Paasbaan Koi Na Ho.

Padiye Gar Beemaar To Koi Na Ho Teemaardaar
Aur Agar Mar Jaaiye To Nauhaakhvaan Koi Na Ho.


Paasbaan: Protector
Teemaardar: A Caregiver
Nauhakhvaan: Rone wala,
