BECAUSE OF THE SO MANY HITS OF SHAILENDRA, WE WILL BE FEATURING 15 POEMS/LYRICS UNDER HIS PENMANSHIP.

FIRST LETS GET KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT SHAILENDRA

TRANSLATIONS OF URDU POETRY:

POET/LYRICIST: SHAILENDRA

Shankardas Kesarilal (August 30, 1923 – December 14, 1966), popularly known by his pen name Shailendra, was a popular Indian Hindi Lyricist. Noted for his association with the filmmaker Raj Kapoor and the composers Shankar-Jaikishan, he wrote lyrics for several successful Hindi film songs in the 1950s and the 1960s.

Shailendra was born in Rawalpindi, Punjab India, and spent his childhood in Mathura.

Poets like Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shakeel Badyuni, Pt. Narendra Sharma and Kavi Pradeep enriched film music by penning film songs worthy of competing with best of their poems. In a way all these glittering names belonged to poet-lyricists genre, who did their bit in films as well as in Hindi-Urdu literature. But there was one penman in that golden era who remained a quintessential lyricist all throughout, who used almost all his literary genius for writing great songs which were poems in themselves and in my opinion, he was second to none. His name was Shankardas Kesrilal Shailendra – for his countless admirers he was simply- Shailendra!

TRANSLATIONS OF URDU POETRY:

POET/LYRICIST: SHAILENDRA

Poetry was his first love but family situation forced him to take up a job of a railway mechanic. He used to work in the railway workshop at Parel. His colleagues would later recall amusedly how they thought this 'crazy' man was 'wasting' his time writing and reciting some 'meaningless' poems! How they were to know that the same man would later proudly proclaim through his song.

 
This poetic zeal and passion appealed to a young film-maker called Raj Kapoor who was in the audience of a stage programme where Shailendra recited his patriotically charged poem Jalta hai Punjab. Raj was making his first film Aag then and he immediately approached Shailendra to ask whether he could write songs for his film. The poet flatly refused the offer saying that his poetry was not for sale!

The birth of his first child Shaily and worsening financial situation finally forced Shailendra to forego any reservations about writing film-songs. After all how long, he could debate with his wife whether they should use one potato for the lunch or for dinner! So he came to the very man, whose offer he had so audaciously turned down. He came to Raj Kapoor who was now in the process of making his second film Barsaat and said, "Now I am in need of money. Is your offer still open?" Raj welcomed him to his fold with open arms. From then onwards, he was to become the permanent member of the famous R.K. musical quartet – Shankar, Jaikishan, Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra!

TRANSLATIONS OF URDU POETRY:

POET/LYRICIST: SHAILENDRA

This group of talented artists was to remain together for years and make some of the greatest songs. Shailendra worked mainly with Shankar and this team was responsible for almost all the theme songs of R.K. movies. Through this association we got so many evergreen songs like Barsaat mein hum se mile tum, Mera joota hai japani, Awara hoon and Dost dost na raha. Shailendra's relationship with Raj always remained special. Later on, even in his heydays when he was commanding a then whopping 10,000 rupees per song from others, he worked on a fixed, monthly salary of Rs.500/- for R.K. films.

There was such comraderie among Shankar, Jaikishan and Shailendra that many songs were conceived on spur of the moment, based on real life incidents. Mud mud ke na dekh mud mud ke (Shri 420) was born out of the friendly banter between Shailendra and Jaikishan when the latter kept on looking back at a young beautiful passer-by – obviously from the fairer sex! Ramaiya vasta vaiyafrom the same filmwasinspired by a folk song sung by some building workers in the neighbourhood. Once after a tiff with the composer duo, Shailendra wrote mockingly-

Chhotisi yeh duniya, pahchane raaste hain,
kabhi to miloge, kahin to miloge, to poochhenge haal.

TRANSLATIONS OF URDU POETRY:

POET/LYRICIST: SHAILENDRA

Shailendra's poetic genius was in his ability to convey deepest of thoughts in simplest of words. It was amazing because here was a man penning a film song which had its own commercial demands, most of the times juggling to tailor his words to suit an already conceived tune and in spite of these constraints he was almost always able to create something which was not only musically stirring but which also shone with literary brilliance. Vivid imagery and intensity of expression in his lyrics made a profound impact on a sensitive mind.

Simplicity and sincerity of his expressions made his songs immortal. He had a tremendous sense of music and never did his words fail to fit like hand in glove to the tune. He brought many of his personality traits into his songwriting. His romantic nature expressed itself through songs like Khoya Khoya Chand. His fun loving persona showed itself in songs like Chahe Koi Mujhe Junglee. His supreme self-confidence peeped through when he said Gardish mein hoon, asmaan ka taara hoon Aawara Hoon. His patriotic feelings so touchingly came across in Aa ab laut chale…tujhko pukare desh tera Aa Ab Laut Chalen. His fatalistic thinking gave itself away through expressions like Jin raaton ki bhor nahi hai, aaj aisi hi raat aayee.

TEESRI KASAM

His film project Teesri kasam proved to be his undoing. He couldn't handle the stresses and strains of film-making. As the film bombed at box-office initially, Shailendra found himself at the center of an emotional storm, not to mention its economic implications. He was deserted by those whom he had considered his friends. It was as if he was reliving his own nightmarish prophecy –

Main akela to na tha,
the mere saathi kai,
ek aandhi si uthi,
jo bhi tha leke gayi!

Raj Kapoor – who had worked free for the film and Mukesh were his only supporters in those dark days.

His health suffered in this setback. On December 13, 1966, he was told to get admitted in hospital. While on the way to hospital, Shailendra and his wife stopped over at Raj Kapoor's cottage where the showman reminded his friend that he was still to complete the theme song for Mera naam joker. The lyricist jokingly told Raj to finish off his next day's Tamasha. (Raj's birthday fell on December 14.) But that song was never to be completed by the great man. On December 14, 1966, Shailendra left the world for his final journey. That incomplete song was finally completed by his son Shailey Shailendra and still ranks as one of the all time greats. That song was Jeena yahan, marna yahan, iske siwa jaana kahan!

Such was a strange twist in the tale that Teesri kasam – the same movie which had brought the doomsday and finally death for Shailendra, then went on to win 'President's Gold Medal' and also became a commission earner.

After his demise, when the cine- critics acclaimed ‘Teesri Kasam’ in a very high esteem, the film received National Award. Then it became a grand success at the box-office, as well. What an irony!

In a tribute to the genius Lata Mangeshkar once observed-

“Shailenderji nahin rahe. Ek bhalaa insaan chala gaya. Aisa insaan jisne bade jatan se Hindustan ke aam aadmi ke dukh-dard apne dil mein sanjo kar rakhe the. Unke dil mein sadaa ek aag dhadhakti rehti thi  Jo anyayi samaaj ki vyavashtha ko phoonk dena chahti thi. Filmi geeton ki hajar bandishon mein rehkar bhi yeh aag unke geeton mein spasht dikhai deti hei.”

(Shailendra is no more. A noble soul has passed away. He effortlessly adorned sorrow-happiness of a common man of India. A flame was always burning in his heart with which he aspired to burn the cruel system. Many of lyrics for films clearly portray such thoughts).

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
The world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane

Sujhe na koi manzil

Ban ke tute yahaan, Arazu ke mahal
Collapsed when built here, the castles of desires

Note: for Jaoon Kahaan Bataa ai dil

Lyrics for the Film Choti Bahen was written by both Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri,

some source indicated that the song was penned by Shailendra and some says Hasrat Jaipuri, and yet some says Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri. Since is it confusing, we have decided to leave this one with our listed note here, and treat it as a bonus since it is a gem by Mukesh......so our next selection for number 82 will be one without any controversy.

You were different, your heart was different
Tere man mein ye meethhee kataaree na thee
Your heart did not hide this sweet dagger

Mai jo dukh paaoon to kyaa aaj pachhataaoon to kyaa
If I get grief, what of it? if I regret today, what of it?

Us des me, tere parades me
In that place, away from your country
Sone chaandee ke badale mein bikate hain dil
Gold and silver buys hearts for sale

Is gaanw mein dard kee chhaanw me
In this village, under the shadow of pain
Pyaar ke naam par hee dhadakate hain dil
The hearts beat in the name of love alone
Chaand taaron ke tale raat ye gaatee chale
Under the moon and stars, the night sings along
Maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

Yaad aatee rahee, dil dukhaatee rahee
Thoughts of you torment me
Apane man ko manaanaa, naa aayaa hume
But I couldn't stop my heart from hurting
Too naa aaye to kyaa, bhool jaaye to kyaa
You didn't come, you forgot me
Pyaar kar ke bhoolaayaa naa aayaa hume
But I couldn't forget our love
Wahi se door se hee, too bhee ye kah de kabhee
Please tell me, even if it's from afar
Maine dil tujhko diyaa
I've given my heart to you

Rasta wohee aur musafir wohee
The path is the same, travelers same
Ek tara na janey kahan chup gaya
A star, who knows where it got hid
Duniya wohee dunyawaley wohee
The world is the same, people the same
Koi kya janey kis ka jahan lut gaya
No one knows someone's whole world was robbed
Meri aankoo mein rahey kaun jo mujh se kahey
Who will dwell in my eyes who will say to me
Maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

Ramaiyaa vastavaiyaa ramaiyaa  vastavaiyaa

Ramaiyaa won't you come to me

Maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

86) YAAD NA JAAYE BEETE DINON KEE

Yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past 
Jaa ke naa aaye jo din
Days gone never to return
Dil kyo bulaaye, unhe dil kyo bulaaye?
Why forget them, will my heart forget them?

Din jo pakheru hote, pinjare mein main rakh letaa
If the days were birds, I would keep them in a cage
Paalataa unako jatan se, motee ke daane detaa
I would tend to them with care/love, feed them pearls
Seene se rahataa lagaaye
Keep them close to my breast/heart

Yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past

Tasaweer unakee chhupaa ke, rakhadoo jahaa jee chaahe
I could hide her picture, keep it anywhere I chose
Man mein basee wo murat lekin mite naa mitaye
But the one ensconced in my heart, will not erase however I try
Kahane ko hain wo paraaye
Even though she is supposed to belong to another

Yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past

87) IS RANG BADALTII DUNIYAA MEIN

Is Rang Badalatii Duniyaa Mein
In this ever-changing world,
Inasaan Kii Niiyat Thiik Nahiin
Man’s intentions are not so good
Nikalaa Na Karo Tum Saj Dhajakar
Don’t come out all dressed up
Emaan Kii Niiyat Thiik Nahiin,
Honor does not have the old value any more

Ye Dil Hai Badaa Hii Diivaanaa
This heart is very crazy
Chhedaa Na Karo Is Paagal Ko
Don’t incite this mad thing
Tum Se Na Sharaarat Kar Baithe
Least it make mischief with you
Naadaan Kii Niiyat Thiik Nahiin,
It is naïve, it does not think straight
