Today, Jaunuary 5th is 37th death anniversary of our dear Chitalkar Ramchandra. How can we miss our Anna Saheb today from our musical Blog, ASAD?
So here is a song from 1949 film “Namoona”, sung by the undisputed Gaan Saraswati, Hema Hardikar.
A social film produced by M & T Films, Bombay, (for those who wonder at this name, a little info that the city Mumbai was called ‘Bombaay’ then.) and directed by Heera Singh, the cast included Kamini Kaushal, Dev Aanand, Kishore Sahu, Leela Chitnis, Cuckoo Moray, Gulab, Pratima Devi, Madan Puri, Heera Sinha, Shyama, Shanti Madhok, Sanyal, Narmada Shankar, S Bose, Niranjan, CP Dixit, CL Shah, Gopal Sharma, Madan Shetty, BN Avasthi, Swartha, Malhotra and others.
There were six Lyricist viz, PL Santoshi, Nakhshab, A Shah Shikarpuri, Gulshan Jalalabadi and Raja Mehdi Ali Khan. Music was set by our Anna Saheb Chitalkar Ramchandra. There were nine songs, 4 Hemaji’s solos one duet of Hema-Rafi and 4 songs by Shamshad Begum. Six songs are already present in our Blog.
On the occasion of 37th remembrance anniversary of C Ramachandra, I have selected a pathos filled song of my liking which is a rare song with GOOD taste. The song is ‘mujh ko sazaayen deke kisi ke gunaah ki’ from Namoona 1949. The song is sung by Hema. The lyrics are penned by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan. The composition is melodious.
Editor note-Those who wonder who Hema Hardikar is, that is the original name of Lata Mangeshkar.

Lyrics (Provided by Sadanand Kamath)
Mujhko sazaayen de ke kisi ke gunaah ki ee
bhagwaan toone kyun
bhagwaan toone kyun
meri duniya tabaah ki
Mujhko sazaayen de ke kisi ke gunaah ki ee
bhagwaan toone kyun
bhagwaan toone kyun
meri duniya tabaah ki
mujhko sazaayen de ke
nanhe se ek dil ko diye toone gham pe gham
nanhe se ek dil ko diye toone gham pe gham
is zindagi ki raah mein ab thhak gaye kadam
main dhool bhi na ban saki preetam ke raah ki ee
bhagwaan toone kyun
bhagwaan toone kyun
meri duniya tabaah ki
mujhko sazaayen de ke
ab kya kahoon ke dard se main choor choor hoon
ab kya kahoon ke dard se main choor choor hoon
mujhko in aansuon ki kasam bekusoor hoon
tujhko pukaare bebasi meri nigaah ki
bhagwaan toone kyun
bhagwaan toone kyun
meri duniya tabaah ki ee
mujhko sazaayen de ke
duniya mein ab mere liye koi khushi nahin
duniya mein ab mere liye koi khushi nahin
jeene ko jee rahi hoon magar zindagi nahin
ab maut se karoongi main soorat nibaahti(?)
bhagwaan toone kyun
bhagwaan toone kyun
meri duniya tabaah ki
mujhko sazaayen de ke
