Building  Blocks of Nostalgia Nagar


اردو گیت  جو  مجھے  ایک  گزرے  نگر کی گلیوں میں  لے  جاتے  ہیں

  • Shakeel Badayuni Na Shikwa Hai Koee Singer Lata Music Naushad Ali Film Amar 1954

    عجب تیری محفل میں دیکھا تماشہ
    کہیں روشنی ہے کہیں ہے  اندھیرا
    مقدّر چراغوں کے بدلے ہوئے ہیں
    کوئی بجھ رہا ہے  کوئی  جل رہا ہے !
     ٌ  نہ  شکوہ ہے کوئی  نہ  کوئی  گلہ  ہے
      شکیل  بدایونی

    Not only is Lata at her soulful best here but the mesmerizing beauty of Madho Baalaa lends immortality to this Urdu Geet.
    

     

  • Rajinder Krishan Wo Dil KahaaN Say LaaooN Singer Lata Music Ravi Film Bharosa 1963

    Woh Dil KahaaN Say LaaooN .... the innocent question wrenches at one's heart ... !! Rajinder Krishan asserts his word craftsmanship in this Urdu song ! Lata renders the song with pathos and the soft notes composed by Ravi are a natural accompaniment !!


  • Shailendra Sigh Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai Lata Music Shankar Jaikishan 1960 

    Shailendra Singh, the extremely talented and creative Urdu song writer who lived a short life excels with his simple yet moving lyrics in this Lata classic with music composed by Shankar Jaikishan... ironic that Meena Kumari who appears in this film song had separated from Kamal Amrohi at the time of the shooting of this song and so her inner feelings and the song's narrative parallel each other!

  • Raja Mehdi Ali Khan Lug Jaa Galay Lata Madan Mohan Woh Kaun Thee 1964 
    لگ جا گلے کہ  پھر یہ حسیں رات ہو نہ  ہو ۔ ۔ ۔ !!  راجہ مہدی علی خان
    Raja Mehdi Ali Khan binds a spell with the opening lines (مکھڑا) of his song which seem to symbolize vulnerability, longing and the inevitability of separation !  Lata sings her heart out to music composed by the immensely talented Madan Mohan for the 1964 Bollywood Film "Woh Kaun Thee".
    
  • Rajinder Krishan Yeh Zindagi Usee Ki Hai Lata C Ramchandra Anarkali 1953 
    Yeh Zindagee Usee kee hai .... Jo kisee kaa ho gayaa !!
    Rajinder Krishan's immortal lines and Lata's soft, sensual delivery of these lyrics to the accompaniment of C. Ramchandra's lilting musical composition are sweeping me away to my youth in Lahore of 1960's and 1970's !!
  • Raja Mehdi Ali Khan Woh Daykho Jalaa Ghar Kisee Kaa Lata Music Madan Mohan
    Woh Daykho Jalaa Ghar Kisee Kaa ... a moving Urdu song by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan with music composed by Madan Mohan and rendition by Lata Mangeshkar.
  • Sahir Ludhianvi Tum Na Jaanay Lata S D Burman Sazaa 1951 
    تم نہ جانے کس جہاں میں کھو گئے
    Sahir Ludhianvi's super charged words create an ambience of immense loss and unbearable separation ... Lata's rendition is totally immersed in the musical composition by S. D. Burman. Immortal Classic !!
    
  • Shailendra Singh O Basanti Pawan Paagal Lata Shankar Jaikishan 1960
    O Basanti Pawan Paagal ... Shailendra's opening line sweeps us off our feet and we are in the Garden of Youth ... it is Spring ... a short lived, fleeting Spring ... Naa Jaa ray Naa Jaa the song goes on to lament...  Immortal music by Shankar Jaikishan and a memorable performance by Lata Jee !!
  • Shakeel Badayuni Mohay Bhool Gaye Saanwaryaa Lata Music Naushad Film Baijoo Baawaraa 1952
    Mohay Bhool gaye Saanwariyaa !  Rustic Urdu diction from Shakeel Badayuni .... Lata Jee excels with music by the maestro Naushad Ali Sahab. A true classic !
  • Rajinder Krishan Hum Pyar Mein Jalnay Lata Madan Mohan Jailor 1958 
    Hum Pyaar MeiN Jalnay WaaloN Ko
    Rajinder Krishan's masterpiece composed magically by Madan Mohan and  sung with devotion and emotional depth by Lata Jee !
  • Rajinder Krishan Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai Lata Madan Mohan Film Adalat 
    Unko yeh shikayat hai keh hum kuchh naheeN kehtay ..!
    Another gem by Rajinder Krishan, carrying the quiet, smoldering passion and the repressed emotions... conveyed beautifully by Lata Jee via Madan Mohan's masterly composition.
  • Raja Mehdi Ali Khan Aap Kyon Royay Lata Madan Mohan Woh Kaun Thi 
    Jo hum nay daastaaN apnee sunaaee
    Aap kyooN royay ??!!
    From the pen of the quiet and unassuming Urdu song writer, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, a song whose simple lyrics move the heart. Lata and Madan Mohan make us worship their mastery over their Art... Bravo !
  • Pyaray Laal Santoshi Tum Kya Jaano Lata C Ramchandra Film Shin Shina Ki Boobla Boo 1952 
    Kitnee kalyaaN khhileeN chaman meiN
    Khhil kay phir murjhaa gayeeN
    Birhan kay iss bholay mann ko
    Baar baar samjhaa gayeeN
    Row kay jawaanee kaatee jis nay
    Preet kay bheegay boyay
    .... .... .... .... ... ....  ....  Pyaaray Laal Santoshi

    The little known Urdu song writer Pyaray Laal Santoshi wrote this soulful song in 1952. A pity his talent was not recognized. The lyrics of this Urdu song move one to the core of one's soul. Lata sings her heart out for C. Ramchandra's composition.
  • Shakeel Badayuni Koee Door Say Geeta Dutt Hemant Kumar Film Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam 
    Shakeel Badayuni's beautiful lyrics were elevated to heavenly heights by Hemant Kumar's imaginative composition and the impassioned rendition of Geeta Dutt.
  • Hasrat Jaipuri Rasik Balma Lata Shankar Jaikishan Film Chori Chori 
    Lata's opening taan "Rasik Balma ... ! " captures the mood of this ethereal song... there has never been such singing before for Urdu songs. Shankar Jaikishan composed brilliantly for this song and Hasrat Jaipuri's simple lyrics let Lata achieve unimagined heights as she exposes the listener to her craft and her Art !
  • Raja Mehdi Ali Khan Naina Barse Rimjhim Rimjhim Lata Madan Mohan Woh Kaun Thi 
    Madan Mohan's  magical melody and haunting lyrics from the pen of the quiet and unassuming Raja Mehdi Ali Khan brought alive by the miraculous performance of Lata Mangeshkar
  • Kaifi Azmi O Beqarar Dil  Lata Hemant Kumar Kohraa 1964

    O Beqaraar Dil !! Ho chukaa hai mujh ko aansoo'oN say pyaar !
    Kaifi Azmi narrates a young girl's sentiments on encountering person love for the first time in her young life...semi-philosphically !!
    Hemant Kumar's music and Lata's performance are very moving !
    

  • Kaifi Azmi Yeh Nayan Daray Daray Hemant Kumar Kohra 1964

    Yeh nayan daray daray.... yeh jaam bharay bharay
    Zaraa peenay doe ... !
    Hemant Kumar modulates his voice in perfect accompaniment to music he composed for the soulful lyrics of Kaifi Azmi.

  • Kaifi Azmi Jhoom Jhoom Dhultee Raat Lata Hemant Kumar Kohra 1964
    Jhoom Jhoom Dhultee Raat ...
    A haunting song penned by Kaifi Azmi and sung perfectly by Lata with musical composition by Hemant Kumar. Unforgettable song !
  • Rajinder Krishan Woh bhoolee dastaaN Lata Madan Mohan Film Sanjog 1961
    Woh bhoolee daastaaN ... jo phhir yaad aa gayee
    Rajinder Krishan's nostalgic lines rendered with passion by Lata ... Madan Mohan excels in his musical composition. A true gem of a song !
