तुझे मैं चाँद कहता था मगर उसमें भी दाग़ है

तुझे सूरज मैं कहता था मगर उसमें भी आग है

तुम्हें इतना मैं कहता हूँ,

कि मुझको तुमसे प्यार है, तुमसे प्यार है....

ये मेरा प्रेमपत्र पढ़ कर कि तुम नाराज ना होना,

कि तुम मेरी ज़िंदगी हो, की तुम मेरी बंदगी हो।

- रफी (गायक)

Kale’s favourite songs

[tinysoultimetravel]

When E.E Cummings said, "Yours is the light by which my spirit's born - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars."

When Mohammad Rafi saab sang, "Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aaftaab ho, jo bhi ho tum Khuda ki kasam, laajawab ho."

When Bashir Badr said, "ik deevar pe chaand tika tha, main ye samjha tum baithe ho."

When Wajid Shaikh said, "Teri yaad chaand ki shakal mein ubhar kar aati hai."

- the age old tradition of comparing your lover to the moon.

268: Laxmikant-Pyarelal // Dosti

Dosti Laxmikant-Pyarelal 1964, Angel

Composing partners Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma worked together for 35 years and, per Hindustan Times,composed about 2,900 songs for 750 different films during that span—a level of productivity basically unfathomable outside of the specific context of the insanely prolific Bollywood studio system. 1966’s Dosti soundtrack was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, and as such it occupies a significant place in Indian music history. I’ve never seen the film, though its cover features two crying boys hugging so it may be up my alley. The Wikipedia synopsis makes it sound like a melodrama without parallel (aside from several hundred others made by Bollywood that same year). The movie opens with a boy’s father dying in an industrial catastrophe, his mother fainting and falling down the stairs (to her death), and then the boy getting disabled in an accident of his own. He then makes friends with a homeless blind boy, and the two chums are then rigorously wedgied by life itself for the next three hours until a happy ending imposes itself.

Working with lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri (a notable leftist poet), Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s songs are strongly credited with Dosti’s enduring success, and while I’m neither an expert in their oeuvre nor Bollywood music as a whole, I can tell you this is beautiful music any fan of adventurous vintage pop should adore. The songs all strike my ear as happy, but with a tear welling in their eyes. It’s more subtle stuff than I associate with contemporary Bollywood: “Gudiya Kab Tak Na Hasogy” twinkles and minces to a gentle dance rhythm, leaving room for soulful flute and harmonium (or accordion?) solos and the melancholy lilt of a mandolin. Both members of the duo had a strong education in Western and Indian classical music, and these sentimental songs find the sweet spot between the traditions, with vigorous tabla rhythms and droning strings meeting melodies that evoke spaghetti western scores (“Janewalo Zara”) or practically quote “Ode to Joy” (“Rahi Manwa”).

It was the convention at the time for a reliable cadre of vocalists to dub over the singing voices of the lead actors, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal established long-standing relationships with their favourites. Dosti features two of their standbys, with Mohammed Rafi handling five of the six songs on the 10” soundtrack I own, and Lata Mangeshkar taking the other. Both absolute legends on the subcontinent, while Rafi and Mangeshkar were each well into adulthood by the time they recorded these songs they give such naively haloed performances that if you can squint (your ears?) just a little it’s easy to imagine they might have originated from the lips of children.

The scope of my expertise in this area is extremely limited, but if it’s not clear, Dosti gets my highest recommendation. If you should come across a ‘60s record with the Laxmikant-Pyarelal imprimatur at your local used shop, give it a shot.

तुम ने मुझ को हँसना सिखाया, रोने कहोगे रो लेंगे अब

आंसू का हमारे ग़म ना करो, वो बहते है तो बहने दो

मुझे तुम से मोहब्बत हो गयी है

मुझे पलकों की छाँव में रहने दो

एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर!

Old hindi songs hit different

[bollywoodirect]

Mohammed Rafi was touring America in 1979 when he met the boxer, Muhammad Ali. They decided to take a picture, planned by Ali. Ali said, "You punch me in the face and I will punch you back". And they laughed about it.

[souvlakigasstation]

You know you're cooked(deep fried even) when you start paying regular visits to 'Abhi na jao chod kar' by Asha Bhosle and Mohammed Rafi. Imagine you're dealing with a broken heart or just yearning back in the day and they drop that song, i would've killed myself lmao
