What do You Serve when Munni Begum Comes for Dinner?
- by Sumaira Salim

While growing up in England, I remember my mother watching Munni Begum’s song videos on lazy Sunday afternoons and enjoying a cup of tea. Who is this singer? I remember thinking. Little did I know that one-day I would get to know “this singer” on a personal level? May 6, 2001 was the day I will always remember. Why? That’s the day we had Munni Begum at our house for dinner. For us, history was made.

At 4:30 pm while shopping in Crabtree mall with my husband Ahsen and our daughter Aamna we got a call from Seema Faruqi about doing a joint dinner for Munni Begum at our house. Seema coordinated with other Urdu Majlis families. Seema made chicken and mash dal, Maryum Saboohi made kebabs and yogurt while Rifat Syed made alu gosht. My contribution was Meat Pulao, fresh fruit salad and regular salad and desert.

Our guests arrived one by one and all four families eagerly awaited Munni Begum’s arrival. She came with with Afroz Taj and Dr. Azam, accompanied by her son 12-year-old son Assad.

Munni Begum enjoyed the food while sharing her experience as a singer with us. When we presented a gift of crystal platter to her that was in shape of a leaf she was most gracious. She regaled us with story after story about different episodes and experiences she had, her triumphs and disappointments, her favorite ghazals and singers, her gypsy family life. We enjoyed an unforgettable evening chatting and joking with Munni Begum.The only music we heard that evening were some CD ghazal collections of Munni Begum and others playing softly in the background while we talked with Munni Begum in person.

We all felt that we had known her all our lives even though most of us met her on such personal level for the first time. She has that effect on you. Our daughter Aamna sat on her lap and then proceeded to lick the icing on cake slice server with her lithe finger. I was afraid that Munni Begum’s beautiful cotton outfit might have some more colors added to it before she left (the chocolate cake had blue and white butter icing on it) but luckily it did not. Munni begum told me not to worry about and continued to hold Aamna.

At the end of the evening we all left with the impression that while Munni Begum is a legendary star in her own right, she is also a compassionate person who reaches out to people. That’s what makes her a real star.

 

My girlfriend is smiling about this article I am certain

4) BHOOLNE WALE SE KOI KEHDE ZARA

http://www.indiamp3.com/music/...ad.php?song_id=61695

 

(Bhoolne wale se koi kehde zara is tarha yaad ane se kya fayada)2

Let somebody ask the person who has forgotten me, what is the use of coming to my mind like this?
(Jab mere dil ki duniya basate nahin phir khyalon mein ane se kya fayada)2

When he is not fulfilling my hearts desires, then what is the use of coming in my thoughts?

Bhoolne wale se

 

(Chaar dinke jala ke kya mil gaya mit sakana zamane se mera nishhan)2

What is the use of four days of happiness,  when you cannot wipe out my mark/existence from this world forever
(Mujh pe bijli girao toh jaane sahi ashiyaan par giraane se kya fayada)2

I do not know if you can strike lightening on me, then what is the use of striking lightening on the house

 

Bhoolne wale se

(Kya kahoon aap se kitni umeed thi aap kya badl duniya badal se gayi)2

So many expectations I had, but the way you turned on me makes me believed that the whole world has changed

(Aasra de ke dil todte hain mera is tarha sataane se kya fayda)2

After loving and supporting me you are breaking my heart,  then what is the use of hurting me?

 

Bhoolne wale se

(Tum ne moosa ko nahak taqleef di lutf aata agar yaad karte hume )2

You bothered Moses for no reason, It would have been a pleasure had you remembered me
(Jinki ankhoon mein taab-e-nazaara na ho unko jalwa dikhaane se kya fayada)2

If your eyes cannot bear the sight of me, then what is the use of showing my face to you?

 

Bhoolne wale se

(Pehle dil ko buraai se kar paak toh fir kholos-e-aqdeedat se kar justjo)2

If you clean your heart of all the impurities/(bad things) then try to look and find me with a pure heart
(Aise sajdoon se allaha milta nahin har jagah sar jhukaane se kya fayada)2

With this kind of bowing (Sajda) one does not get to Allah (God,) then what is the use of bowing your head at every place

Bhoole wale se

(Laakh samjhaya tujhko magar shameen teri hoshyari akhir na kaam a saki

I have explained this thousands of times O Shameem, but your cunningness did not work

Aank milti gayi raaz khulte gaye-abh haqeeqat chupaane se kya fayada

Both our eyes had met and everyone saw this, What is the use of hiding our love then?

 

Bhoolne wale se koi keh de zara is tarah yaad aane se kya fayada?

Let somebody ask the person who has forgotten me, what is the use of coming to my mind like this?

THE VERSATILITY OF MUNNI-JI IS SIMPLY MIND BLOWING:

 

PS Our translator's note: (Ah!! how nicely put, when he is not interested in seeing me, then there is no use in showing my face to him, wow!)

 

PS: Sometimes in these renditions, the poet generalize his verses or stanzas to make it reflect the story our life:

5) AHL-E-DAIR-O-HARAM RAH GAYE

http://www.indiamp3.com/music/...ad.php?song_id=61735

 
(Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye)3
all that are left are the people of the cloth (people of temples and mosques)
(Tere diiwaane kam rah gaye)2
of your admirers, there are very few

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

Un ki har shai gawaarii magar
everything of hers was very pleasing, but
Phir bhi zulfon mein hum rah gaye
but I stopped at her tresses

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

Dekh kar un ki tasweer ko
looking at her picture
Aa'ina ban ke hum rah gaye
I became a mirror and lingered

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

Betakalluf woh ghairon se hai
with others she has no shyness,
naaz uthaane ko hum rah gaye
I remain the object of her modesty

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

hum se pii kar uthaa na gaya
I could not get up after the drinking
ladkhadaa ke qadam rah gaye
my steps staggered and stood still

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

mit gaye manzilon ke nishaan
all signs of the destination have disappeared
sirf naqsh-e-qadam rah gaye
only the footprints remained

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth

paas manzil ke maut aa gayii
death arrived near the destination
jab sirf do qadam rah gaye
when there were merely two steps left

Ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gaye...
all that are left are the people of the cloth
