Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
A poet-cum-lyricist like Hasrat Jaipuri deserves a far better recall than this, given that he was such an interesting person. The collection of songs in this story is also kind of underwhelming. Having listened to his songs for almost 35 years, I feel bad with this superficial story. He wrote many more impressive songs than those listed here.
We call the era as the golden years because of the golden touch in the art of such lyricists , music directors, singers and actors and not the least the film knowledgeable film spectators then. Truely , unadulterated talents !
Yes
It was an era of musical content and they came up with lyrics which could stir the soul and the body both , what a pleasure to have them then and to hear them now.
Miyaa log jo bhi karen wo print me hameshaa jyaadaa badaa chadaake highlight hogaa wo achchaa hai toh lekin agar unkaa kaam desh virodh me hai toh 99% koyee bhi aisaa kaam ke baare me kuch bhi nahee likhenve ye log !ye hai aaj ke journalism!
But one should not forget his beautiful songs for other composers as well —- Like the songs from Tere Ghar ke saamne composed by S D Burman…Masti bhara hai sama for Dattaram for film Parvarish….. ye kya kar dala toone for O P Nayyar in Howrah Bridge….the songs from Jhanak Jhanak Payal baje for Vasant Desai especialy the song Nain so nai nahi milaoo…… Song Sama hai suhana suhana fro kalyanji Anandji in Ghar Ghar ki kahani….. But there is no doubt his best works were under Shankar -Jaikishan…. Great that your magazine have thought and written about these great artists who made up the GOLDEN PERIOD of Hindi Film Music, which stands to this day….

I beg to differ.
Hasrat Jaipuri at best, was a mediocre lyricist. He was lucky to get the opprtunity to write for RK Banner.
Populariry? Yes.
Poetry? Very occasionally.
Only a very few songs come to my mind right now that have poetry in them:
‘teri zulfon se judaai to nahi maagi thi…’
‘din saara guzaara tore angana…’
‘badan pe sitaare…’
‘tumhaare rooth jaane se ye dil bechain rehta hai,
jo tumne bewafaai ki, n jaane haal kya hoga…’
Kannan Unni has really paid tributes those who created memorable songs which will be remembered for ages to come.
Excellent compilation, nice work done
Hasrat Jaipuri is undoubtedly is a Great Legendary poet whose songs are of more meaningful and entertaining ever ever.
