28 january 2023 saw song post number 17400 appearing on the blog. Today (25 february 2023) finds us reaching song post number 17500 on the blog.
Yes, this post is the 175th century post for the blog. It has come in 28 days, which equals the days taken for the previous century. So this year 2023 has seen two centuries, both clocked in 28 days apiece. It is a vast improvement over the average days taken for the blog centuries of last few years. We are still far off from the all time record of a century in 11 days (achieved in 2011) but things are looking up as far as Blog daily strike rate is concerned.
The blog century posts now a days are decided at the last moment. The previous century post number 17400 was decided at the last moment, on the very day on which the song was covered. This song post number 17500 is no different.
Song post number 17400 was a duet song. So is the case for this song post number 17500. But that is the only similarity between the two century posts.
Post number 17400 was a duet sung by two obscure singers. That was the only duet sung by the singers in Hindi movies. The singers in the duet song of this post number 17500 are both legends in Hindi playback singing.
This song under discussion in this post is sung by Rafi and Shamshad Begam.
Why them and no one else ? There are good reasons for that.
As things stand in HFM, there have been only eight pair of singers in the Golden era of HFM who have sung over hundred duets. Seven pair of such singers have already completed their centuries in the blog. Rafi and Shamshad Begam were the only pair who had not reached their century of duet songs in the blog. With this post, they join the list and the list gets completed.
Here is the list of centurion duet singers in HFM during the golden era of HFM :-
| Singing pair | Duet Songs in the blog | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Rafi-Asha Bhonsle | 561 | This pair holds the Record for highest number of duet songs |
| Rafi-Lata | 349 | Second highest number of duets. Almost all their duets covered in the blog |
| Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle | 268 | |
| Kishore Kumar-Lata | 222 | |
| Mukesh-Lata | 143 | |
| Rafi-Geeta Dutt | 113 | |
| Rafi-Suman Kalyanpur | 108 | |
| Shamshad Begam-Rafi | 100 | They reach 100 duets with this post |
If one feels that there may be other pairs who may join the list in future, that is not the case. Among singers who were active during the golden era, the next duo with highest number of duets is Manna Dey-Lata Mangeshkar with 75. This figure represents their sum total of duets sung in HFM. All of them are already represented in the blog ! Likewise all duets sung by Talat Mehmood-Lata Mangeshkar (61) are already represented in the blog.
The song under discussion is from an obscure movie called “Noor e Yaman”(1956) also alternatively titled “Hatimtai Ka Beta”. This C grade movie was directed by Akkoo. The movie had Chitra, Juliaan, Ridkoo, Krishna Kumari, Heera Saawant, Sardar Mansoor, Ismail, Munshi Munakka, Bismillah, Mitthoo Mian, M. K. Hasan, Mohammed Ali, Mohammed Sandow, Abdulla, Korega, Yadav, Sukumar, Ratan Kumar, Raju, Sattar, Maqbool, Yusuf Azad Qawwal, Samar Roy, Habeeb, Shaikh Hassan, Babu Raaje, Adeeb, Wazir Mohammed Khan etc in it.
The movie had nine songs in it. They were sung by five singers, viz Shewan Rizvi, Yusuf Azad Qawwal, Shamshad Begum, Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle. These nine songs were penned by three lyricists viz Akhtar Romani, Sartaj Romani and Raja Mehndi Ali Khan.
The movie is making its debut in the blog with this song. This movie becomes the 110th movie of 1956 to find representation in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi and Shamshad Begam. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Bulo C Rani is the music director.
This song, an obscure song from an obscure movie, sounds like a forgotten gem. It is a song that deserves to be better known among music lovers.
Another blog century achieved. Time to take a fresh guard.
I take this opportunity to thank one and all who are fuelling the musical bandwagon in various ways and are helping it to reach newer and newer destinations with each passing days. May this bandwagon notch many more centuries and see many more interesting records en route.
Song-Jab teri nazar ke teer chale (Noor e Yaman)aka Hatimtai Ka Beta(1956) Singers-Rafi, Shamshad Begam, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-Bulo C Rani
Lyrics
jab teri nazar ke teer chale
kuchh idhar gaye
kuchh udhar gaye
kuchh idhar gaye
kuchh udhar gaye
mere pyaar bhare dil par na lage
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
kuchh idhar gaye
kuchh udhar gaye
jaao jee jaao jee
teeron ko dhoondh laao jee
laao jee laao jee laao jee
ishq mein tere ho gaye hum langde
na jungle mein bhagaao jee
jaao jee jaao jee jaao jee
kyun teer hamaare bikhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
kuch idhar gaye
kuchh udhar gaye
mere pyaar bhare dil per na lage
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
poochho jee jaa kar inka pata
phoolon se bahaaron se nazaaron se
aabsaaron se gulzaron se
bas bas bas bas bas bas bas
poocha hai maine inka pata
arre
teri aankhon ke sitaaron se
rukhsaaron se
beemaaron se
bekaaron se lohaaron se
awaaron se ghamkhaaron se banjaaron se lakadhaaron se
lakadhaa aa aa aa aaro se
na jaane wo kidhar gaye
