TALAT MAHMOOD

Movie : Babul (1950)
Singer: Talat Mohamed
Music : Naushad
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni

4) MERA JEEWAN SAATHI BICHAD GAYE

Khushi ke sath duniya mein, Hazaron gam bhi hote hain
Along with happiness in this world, there are a thousand sorrows
Jahan bajati hain shahanai, Vahan matam bhi hote nain
Where the shehnai (wedding flute) plays, there is also a dirge

(Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai
My life's mate has left me, the story is ended
Lo khatam kahani ho gai)2
the story has ended

(Qismat ne kiye vo dil pe sitam do chahane vale mil na sake)2
Fate dealt such a blow to our hearts, that two lovers could not meet
(Kahane ko bahar ai thi magar do phul khushi ke khil na sake)2
Spring arrived in name only, two flowers of happiness could not bloom
Aramanon ka gulashan bigad gaya barabad javani ho gai
The garden of desires has withered away, the youth lost

Lo khatam kahani ho gai
The story has ended

(Dil deke yahan sab har gaye duniya mein kisiki jit kahan)2
Having lost our hearts, we lost everything, who can win in this world?
(Hothon pe hain shikave qismat ke vo pyar bhare ab git kahan)2
Our lips lament our fate, where are those songs of love?
Jab khel hi dil ka bigad gaya har baat purani ho gai
When the game of the heart has been lost, all else is the same old story

Lo khatam kahani ho gai
The story has ended

(Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai
My life's mate has left me, the story is ended
Lo khatam kahani ho gai)2
The story has ended

TALAT MAHMOOD

Babul was the only film in the 1950′s where Talat Mahmood sang for Naushad. Naushad didn’t repeat Talat for the next 18 years, despite the success of Babul. The reason behind not repeating Talat for the next 18 years is mentioned by Subhash K. Jha in “Mohd. Rafi – The Virtuoso”. “Angered with Talat Mahmood, whom he found smoking during a recording, the perfectionist composer, hired Rafi on a whim and decided that he would sing all the songs of Baiju Bawra.”.

However, Naushad had high opinion of Talat Mahmood’s singing abilities. According to Indian Express dated 20th September 1981, Naushad said, “I have a very high opinion of Talat Mahmood. He has a fine style. When he sings ghazals, it is in his own unique inimitable sweet style. Sweetness is indispensable to a proper singing of the ghazal. Besides, he has mastery over the language. He knows which words to emphasize and which not to. You will never hear any lines misread from Talat Mahmood’s lips!”.

TALAT MAHMOOD

When he sang in Kabul Afghanistan as the royal guest of King Zahir Shah, the women in the palace competed to get themselves photographed with him. He got a ticker tape welcome in Mauritius. The late Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt, was one of his fans. But the ultimate accolade came from Pakistan – at the packed Karachi stadium, Pakistani women came in thousands to listen to him. It was a first.

It was also a display of star quality. But as he acted in films and spent months abroad on concerts, music directors and producers had to look for other playback singers. As a result, Talatsaab lost out on some memorable films like Madhumati.

5) AA TERI TASAVEER BANALOON:

Aa teri tasaveer bana loon main apni taqdeer bana loon
Come, let me draw a picture of you, let me make you my destiny
Dil ke kore kaagaz par ulfat ki lakeer bana loon
On the blank page of my heart, let me draw lines of rapture

Aa teri tasaveer bana loon ...
Come, let me draw a picture of you, let me make you my destiny

(Rang hamaare teri javaani ban jaaye ek prem kahaani)2
My palette will be your youth, may it be a story of love
Door kisi ko lene ja ke sun loon aur suna loon
That I spread far and wide, and that I hear told

Aa teri tasaveer bana loon main apni taqdeer bana loon
Come, let me draw a picture of you, let me make you my destiny

(Baal hain baadal jaise kaale saagar se naina matavaale)2
Tresses like the dark clouds, the eyes with the intoxication of wine
Tere gulaabi gaalon se ji karata hai rang chura loon
The heart tells me to steal the colours from your rosy cheeks

Aa teri tasaveer bana loon main apni taqdeer bana loon
Come, let me draw a picture of you, let me make you my destiny
Dil ke kore kaagaz par ulfat ki lakeer bana loon
On the blank page of my heart, let me draw lines of rapture
