Jinhe naaz hai hind par woh kahan hain
This classic song is from the 1957 film " Pyasa" and is picturised on Guru Dutt, the lyricist being Sahir Ludhianvi.
This masterpiece of song was sung by Mohammed Rafi by injecting tremendous pathos which shatters the conscience of every listener. The lyrics penned by Sahir Ludhianvi were revolutionary by any standard. "Jinhe naaz hai hind par woh kahan hain" was a satire on Nehru's India and on his quote "Mujhe hind par naaz hai".
The song was initially recorded in the voice of legendry singer Manna Dey but was ultimately recorded in the voice of greatest of all Mohammed Rafi. Manna Dey has himself acknowledged on record that the quality and range of Rafi's singing is better and unmatched.
Here are two videos, one by Mohammed Rafi [seen by clicking on the youtube link] and the other by Manna Dey, of the same song. Listen to both versions and decide yourself. One need not say anything!!
कहाँ हैं कहाँ हैं मुहाफ़िज ख़ुदी के, जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वो कहाँ हैं।
ReplyDeletePenetrating satire is much more applicable, related and pertinent to our beloved HIND now!
I loved the Manna Day’s singing as well, can not be ignored.
