#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————-
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 4 # Suresh Rajvanshi -1
——————————————————————-
The journey through the HFGK is getting more excited and thrilling day by day, though so far I have been able to glance through only the few preliminary years of this decade 1971-1980. And I am realizing that apart from ‘Bhoole Bisre Geet’ we do also have some ‘Bhoole Bisre Artists’, like the singer of this song that is being presented today.
Many firsts with this post. This 1971 film titled ‘Iraada’ makes its debut on the blog today. And so does Suresh Rajvanshi, the singer of this song. The lyricist, Kafeel Azar, already has three songs posted earlier on the blog. And the music director duo Vithhal- Mumtaz, are also making debut on the blog today. This name is new to me and I do not know much about them. I request our knowledgeable readers/team members to throw more light on these artists.
The film is produced under the banner of Life and Arts, Bombay. As per information available on HFGK, it is a ‘suspense’ film directed by Rajdeep. It’s star cast includes Shahida, Sarita, Rajdeep, Iftikhar, Hiralal, Murad, Randhir, Kundan, S.Nazir, P.Kailash, Tun Tun, V.Gopal, Sheikh, Ravindra, Qureshi, Khatri, Master Mushtaq, Satyarani, Dhani, Chandradevi, Shyam, Sanjay, Jwala, Santram, Lipton, Nisaar, Baby Tasneem, Baby Mahzabeen and Rani. The lyricist for all the four songs is Kafeel Azar. Credits for music director are shared by Mohammad Shafi and Vitthal-Mumtaz, who have composed two songs each.
As per myswar.com Suresh Rajvanshi has sung in films ‘Pareeksha-1963’,’Paataal Nagri-1963’, ‘Bhakta Prahlad-1965’,‘Noor Mahal-1965’ and ‘Iraadaa-1971’. I also come across a comment on another blog wherein the reader suggested that Suresh Rajvanshi sung occasionally during the sixties. And this particular song of today was frequently heard on ‘Vividh Bharti’. And one of the comments on YT mentioned that he has also sung with Surendra Nath (which our knowledgeable readers and team members can throw more light upon).
From the today’s song we can guess that he tried to sing like Rafi Sb and tried to imitate him. The composition is quiet good and it is a pleasure to listen to this song, which must have been forgotten with the film.
From the video of this song I can guess that this song is picturized on Rajdeep and Shaheeda.
Let us now enjoy this beautiful composition…
Song – Chaman Ki Jaan Ho Rangeen Ye Bahaar Ho Tum (Iraada) (1971) Singer – Suresh Rajvanshi, Lyrics – Kafeel Azar, MD – Vitthal – Mumtaz
Lyrics
chaman ki jaan ho
chaman ki jaan ho
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum
jawaab jiska nahin hai
wo shaahkaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum
tumhaari zulf ki
khushboo se raat jhoom uthhe
sitaare raqs kare
kaaynaat jhoom uthhe
kali kali ka
kali kali ka
mehakta hua nikhaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
jahaan e ishq o mohabbat
tumhaare dam se hai
tasavuraat ki jannat
tumhaare dam se hai
mere haseen
mere haseesn khayaalon ka
intezaar ho tum
jawaab jiska nahin hai
wo shaahkaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum
tum apne husn ki
raanaaiyaan mujhe de do
jo ho sake to ye
angdaayiyaan mujhe de do
ke meri jaan
ke meri jaan
mera dil mera qaraar ho tum
jawaab jiska nahin hai
wo shaahkaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum
chaman ki jaan ho
rangeen ye bahaar ho tum

चमन की जान हो
चमन की जान हो
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
जवाब जिसका नहीं है
वो शाहकार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
तुम्हारी ज़ुल्फ़ की
खुशबू से रात झूम उठे
सितारे रक्स करें
कायनात झूम उठे
कली कली का
कली कली का
महकता हुआ निखार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
जहान ए इश्क ओ मोहब्बत
तुम्हारे दम से है
तस्सवुरात कि जन्नत
तुम्हारे दम से है
मेरे हसीन
मेरे हसीन खयालों का
इंतज़ार हो तुम
जवाब जिसका नहीं है
वो शाहकार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
तुम अपने हुस्न कि
रानाईयाँ मुझे दे दो
जो हो सके तो
ये अंगडाईयाँ मुझे दे दो
के मेरी जान
के मेरी जान
मेरा दिल मेरा करार हो तुम
जवाब जिसका नहीं है
वो शाहकार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
चमन की जान हो
रंगीन ये बहार हो तुम
