Din Ne Jaate Jaate Kuchh To, Raat Ke Haath Diya
                Bhor Huyi~~~~ Aur, Daal Chadariya, Raat  Ne  Kuch
Kiyaa~~
        Phir Pehare Par Suraj Aaya, Phir Wohi Din Ke Phere
                Par Baar Basarten Jaayen, Ba~~.ndhan Chhute Mere


        Yeh Raat Din Pheraa, Yeh Raat Din Ka Phera Lagaa Rahegaa

Yes, this is what Dinanaath Madhok, wrote on some day  in  1950s,
taking  inspiration from mother Nature, much in a same way as our
Vaidik Rushi, who too inspired from  'prakruti'  told  the  same,
several  thousands of years ago.  Days, come and days go; what is
new in it, anyway ?! Well, if one wants to  see,  then  there  is
enough,  otherwise -- well just void. Well, in all these days, we
have been accompanied by these lovely songs of our rich past. And
in no time, we are at ATMJH's first birth anniversary!

I would like to sincerely thank all the readers for  their  great
support, words of appreciation, suggestions and more importantly,
keeping it lively and informative by regular followups.  Without,
RMIMers,  out  there  at  various places around the globe, series
could have never been so much enjoying experience to me and I  am
sure,  to many on net, as well. I value all your contribution and
am grateful for the same.

        Song: Yeh Raat Ka Pheraa, Lagaa Rahega
                Jab Tak Na ?????? Aaj Tera.....

        Film:   Bilwa Mangal (1954)
        Music:  Bulo C. Rani
        Lyrics: D. N. Madhok
        Singer: C. H. Atma
        *ing:   Suraiya, ?

This soundtrack is a choice for desert island on any day,  in  my
any  list  of  5 movies. Although, I haven't heard all songs, the
only four that I know, are worth taking to desert island.  Atma's
voice, D N Madhok's meaningful lyrics and very effective tune and
music by Bulo C. Rani -- these all together make this, one of the
best  film  song ever. Use of flute, saarangi and pakhaavaj, to a
tune set to some 'saayan-kaalin'(?) raag is out of this world.

C. H. Atma gave one more memorable song in

        Mohan Pyaare, Ab Aur Sur Me Gaare, Mohan Pyaare

I like this song, for it's poetry. It has great imagination --  a
great  theme.   Dinanath ji, is comparing heart with 'baansurii';
for it too has several holes in it. And  there  are  as  many  as
there  are  stars in night sky! Well, he doesn't end at there. He
goes on by stating that, each  of  these  holes  yield  different
"sur'!  Hence  he  urges,  Krishna  to  sing  on this new kind of
'baansi'! I will try to provide complete lyrics some time.

Suraiya sung one solo,  with  great  control.  She  sounds,  much
sharper in this song than in her other songs:

        Parwaano Se Prit Sikh Le, Shammaa Buza Kar Jal Jaana
        Phir Duniyaa Ko Yaad Rahega [2], Tera Mera Afasaana

This song, too has some haunting pieces of flute.

Finally this fantastic duet by Atma and Suraiya!

        Jaake Bain Pyaare Pyaare Hain, Jaake Nain Matwaare  Hain,
Wo More Shyaam

I am yet to hear a Suraiya song, which is more sweet  than  this.
And  this  is no joking. This song has that power, which can make
one forget about self!!  Extremely melodious number.
