phir aaj jinki yaaden dhundlee si hoti jaa rahi hain. aise kalaakaaron ko ham

kyun doston, Theek kahaa tha na main ki is geet ke mukhDe ko sunte hi aap
andaazaa lagaa lenge ki kaun hai woh sangeetkaar jinki sangeet rachnaayen aaj ke
is kaaryakram mein goonjnewaali hai! jee haan, Ek Thi Ladki film ke is mashoor
geet se mashoor honewaale sangeetkaar ka naam hai Vinod. yeh geet na keval Vinod
ki pehchaan hai, balki Lata Mangeshkar ke sangeet safar ke pehle pehle 'hit'
geeton mein is gaane ka shumaar hota hai. san 1949 ke is film ki charcha ham
aage chalkar is kaaryakram mein karenge, filhaal aap is geet ko poora suniye. is
geet mein Lata Mangeshkar ke saath saath G M Durrani ki bhi aawaaz shaamil hai
aur is geet ko likha hai Aziz Kashmiri ne. is geet mein aapko Himachal Pradesh

------------------------------------------
Song: lara lappa lara lappa (Ek Thi Ladki)
------------------------------------------

sangeetkaar Vinod ka janm 28 May 1922 ko Lahore mein huya tha. dharm se isaai,
unka asli naam tha Eric Roberts. lekin film jagat mein pravesh karte waqt woh
ban gaye Vinod. bachpan se hi Vinod ka sangeet ki taraf rujhaan tha. shaadi ke
mauke par 'band party' dwaara bajaaye jaanewaale dhuno se woh aakrishT ho jaate
the. Lahore ke Dehra Sahib gurudwaare mein gaaye jaanewaale shabad kirtan ko woh
dhyaan-poorvak sunte the. shaastriya raagon se unka parichay karwaaya us zamaane
ke Lahore ke mashoor sangeetkaar Pandit Amarnath, jinke woh chhatra the. unhi se
unhone 'violin' par dhune banaani bhi seekhee. Vinod ki kahaani ko aage baDhaane
se pehle yahaan par ek dhun ham bhi aap ko sunwaana chaahenge Vinod ka banaaya
huya, suniye film Sabz Baag se Asha Bhosle aur Mohd Rafi ki aawaazon mein, aur
geetkaar hain, ek baar phir, Aziz Kashmiri.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Song: jo kuch hamein kehna hai ishaaron se kahenge (Sabz Baag)
--------------------------------------------------------------

lekin doston, ham Vinod se juDee koi bhi baat ishaaron mein naheen balki khuli
aawaaz mein kahenge. chaliye ab Vinod ki kahaani ko aage baDhaaya jaaye. doston,
jab Hindi film aur film sangeet ki shuruwaat huyi thi, tab Lahore, Kalkatta,
Bambai, aur Pune film nirmaaN ke pramukh kendra the. lekin aazaadi ke baad
dheere dheere Bambai hi Hindi filmon ka ekmaatra mahatwapoorNa kendra bankar reh
gaya. Lahore ki baat karen to kareeb kareeb san 1944 tak kai naamcheen
sangeetkaar Lahore chhoDkar Bambai chale aaye the, jinmein shaamil the Khurshid
Anwar, Shyam Sunder, Hans Raj Behl, Rashid Atre, Feroze Nizami, Ghulam Haider,
Pandit Husnlal Bhagatram. Pandit Amarnath aur Pandit Gobindram aise do
sangeetkaar the jinhe Lahore chhoDnaa gawaara naheen huya. lekin 1945 mein
Pandit Amarnath ke achaanak beemaar ho jaane ke kaaran unke shishya Vinod par
unki adhoori filmon ke sangeet ko poora karne ka zimmaa aa paDaa. Khamosh
Nigahen, Paraye Bas Mein aur Kamini aisi hi kuchh filmen theen. yeh filmen to
'box office' par Tik naheen sakee lekin in filmon se Vinod ke film sangeet ka
sureela safar zaroor shuru ho gaya. bhale unhe yeh filmen mil gayi lekin apne
guru ki beemaari se Vinod jaise kuchh hadh tak besahaara se ho gaye.

------------------------------------------------------
Song: huye hain kuchh aise besahaara (Khamosh Nigahen)
------------------------------------------------------

doston, yeh thi Khamosh Nigahen film ka geet, jise hamne aapko sunwaara Vinod
aur unke guru aur sangeetkaar Pandit Amarnath ki yaad mein. yeh film pradarshit
huyi thi san 1946 mein. yeh film Shorey Pictures ke 'banner' tale bani thi jiske
maalik the Rook K Shorey. isi saal Vinod ko swatantra roop se sangeet nirdeshan
karne ke liye ek Punjabi film milee jiska naam tha Chaman. us samay ki
raajnaitik asthirtaa ki wajah se yeh film Lahore mein ban naheen paayi. desh
vibhaajan ke baad 1947 mein yeh film hamaare yahaan banee, jismein Pushpa Hans
aur Shamshad Begum ke saath saath Lata Mangeshkar ne bhi 3 gaane gaaye jo Khoob
saraahe gaye. doston, is Punjabi film ke gaane to hamaare paas naheen hain,
lekin yahaan par aapko Vinod ka swarbaddha kiya huya ek doosra geet ham zaroor
sunwaa sakte hain, to suniye...

----------------------------------------------
Song: bach bach ke chalo guiyaan (Garma Garam)
----------------------------------------------

Mohd Rafi ki aawaaz aapne sunaa doston, D N Madhok ke bol the film Garma Garam
ke liye. 1946 ke baad 1947 aur 1948 mein Vinod ke sangeet nirdeshan mein koi
Hindi film pradarshit naheen huyi. lekin iske agle hi saal, yaani ki 1949 mein
Vinod chaaron taraf chhaa gaye kyunki isi saal aayi film Ek Thi Ladki jiska
behad mashoor geet ham aapko shuru mein hi sunwa chuke hain. is film ka nirmaaN
bhi Roop Shorey ne hi kiya tha jinke 'banner' tale Vinod ne apni pehli film mein
sangeet diya tha. Motilal, Kuldeep aur Meena Shorey, jo ki Roop Shorey ki patni
theen, is film mein mukhya bhumikaaen nibhaaee. is film ke sabhi geet kaafi
charchit huye. isliye yahaan par is film ka ek aur geet sunwaana baDaa zaroori
ho jaata hai. to leejiye Lata Mangeshkar aur Mohd Rafi ki aawaaz mein pesh hai
Aziz Kashmiri aur Vinod ki joDee ka ek aur rang.

---------------------------------------------
Song: lambi joru baDi museebat (Ek Thi Ladki)
---------------------------------------------

1949 mein hi Vinod ne ek aur film mein sangeet diya tha. New Bombay Theatres ke
'banner' tale bani is film ka naam tha Tara. yeh ek chhoTe 'budget' ki film thi.
shaayad isi wajah se iska sangeet charcha mein naheen aaya. lekin is film mein
Geeta Roy ka gaaya ek bahut hi anmol geet ham aapko zaroor sunwaana chaahenge.
Aziz Kashmiri ke hi bol hain. doston, ab tak aapko yeh andaazaa ho gaya hoga ki
Vinod ke swarbaddha zyaadatar filmon mein Aziz Kashmiri saahab ne geet likhe
the. film Tara mein us zamaane ki kai charchit aur kamcharchit gaayak gaayikaaon
ne geet gaaye the jaise ki Premlata, Satish Batra, Rajkumari, aur Uma Devi.
lekin aaj suniye is film se Geeta Roy ki aawaaz.

----------------------------------------------
Song: ek yaad teri hai jeene ka sahaara (Tara)
----------------------------------------------

aur phir aa gaya 50 ka dashak. film sangeet ka sunehra daur shuru ho chuka tha.
naye naye sangeetkaar aur geetkaar apni apni taazee dhuno aur bolon se poore
desh bhar mein dhoom machaa rahe the. aise mein sangeetkaar Vinod ne 1950 mein
do aisi filmon mein sangeet diya jinhe agar aaj yaad kiya jaata hai to sirf unke
sangeet ki wajah se. inmein ek film thi Anmol Ratan, aur doosri Wafa. abhineta,
gaayak aur nirmaata Karan Diwan ki film Anmol Ratan mein Vinod ne Lata
Mangeshkar aur Talat Mahmood se ek baDaa hi pyaara sa yugal geet gawaaya tha. D
N Madhok ke likhe is geet ko agar ham Lata aur Talat ke gaaye behetareen yugal
geeton mein shaamil karen to koi Khataa naheen hogi.

--------------------------------------------
Song: shikwaa tera main gaayun (Anmol Ratan)
--------------------------------------------

"shikwa tera main gaayun dil mein samaanewaale, bhoole se yaad kar le o door
jaanewaale". yeh to is geet ke bol the lekin jahaan tak Vinod ke sangeetbaddha
keeye aise geeton ka sawaal hai unhe bhulaanaa shaayad itna aasaan kaam naheen
hogaa, aur na hi ham kabhi in meeThee dhuno se door jaa paayenge. yeh gaane aur
yeh sangeet woh dharohar hain jo nayi peeDhee ke liye maargdarshak ka kaam karti
hai, paaTh paDhaati hai kalaa ke kshetra mein kuchh achchha kar guzarne ka.
bahar-haal ham baat kar rahe the 1950 mein bani Vinod ke sangeet se sajee do
filmon ki. ek film Anmol Ratan ki baat hamne kee aur gaana bhi sunwaaya, ab zikr
Wafa ka. Wafa J P Advani ki film thi jismein ek baar phir Karan Diwan naayak
the. naayika banee Nimmi. is film mein Vinod ke liye Aziz Kashmiri ne to geet
likhe hi, balki kai aur geetkaaron ke geet bhi goonje is film mein, jaise ki D N
Madhok, Behzad Lucknowi aur Hasrat Jaipuri. Vinod ke saath Bulo C Rani ne bhi is
film mein sangeet nirdeshak ka kaam kiya. Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh aur Talat
Mahmood ki aawaazen goonjee thi is film mein.

-----------------------------------------
Song: jaa jaanewaale bhala ho tera (Wafa)
-----------------------------------------

1951 mein Vinod ne swatantra roop se For Ladies Only aur Mukhda jaisi filmon
mein sangeet diya. isi saal unhone S.K. Ragi ke saath Bulbul aur Gulshan Sufi ke
saath Sabz Baag mein bhi sangeet diya. film Sabz Baag ka ek geet to ham aapko
sunwaa chuke hain, to yahaan par kyun na Mukhda film se ek geet ho jaaye
Sulochana Kadam ka gaaya huya! Mukhda Shorey Pictures ke 'banner' tale bani thi.
doston, Roop Shorey jab Lahore chhoDkar Bambai chale aaye to woh apne saath
Vinod aur Aziz Kashmiri ko bhi yahaan le aaye the aur samay samay par apni
filmon mein inhe mauka bhi diya. aur isi tarah se is sangeetkaar aur geetkaar ki
'tuning' achchhi jamee thi. to suniye Aziz Kashmiri, Vinod aur Roop Shorey ki
tikDee ko salaam karta huya film Mukhda ka yeh naGhmaa.

---------------------------------------------------------
Song: akhiyaan milaake akhiyon ki neend churaake (Mukhda)
---------------------------------------------------------

san 1952 mein Vinod ke sangeet se sajee koi film naheen aayi. lekin agle hi saal
yaani 1953 mein Roop Shorey ne do filmen banaayi aur in dono mein Vinod ne
sangeet diya. jaante hain yeh do filmen kaun si theen? yeh filmen theen Ek Do
Teen, aur Aag Ka Darya. dono hi filmon mein Roop Shorey ki patni Meena Shorey
naayika ke roop mein nazar aayeen. Sandhya Mukherjee ki aawaaz mein Ek Do Teen
film ka geet shaayad aapne kabhi na sunaa ho, isliye is geet ko sunwaaye baGair
ham is kaaryakram mein kaise aage baDh sakte hain!

-------------------------------------------------
Song: aaja re balam tujhe meri qasam (Ek Do Teen)
-------------------------------------------------

is tarah se Vinod har saal do teen filmen kar rahe the. lekin inmein se
zyaadaatar filmen chhoTi 'budget' ki filmen theen jinse unhe bahut zyaada paise
naheen milte the. aur yeh rakam Bambai jaise shahar mein Theek-Thaak tareeke se
guzaara karne ke liye kaafi naheen tha. achchha aur madhur sangeet dene ke
baawjood Vinod ko kabhi woh mukaam, woh darjaa is 'film industry' ne naheen diya
jiske woh waaqai haqdaar the. baDi 'budget' ke filmon mein kaam karna unka
sapnaa bankar hi reh gaya, jiski wajah se unki aarthik avasthaa mein bhi kabhi
sudhaar naheen huya, aur unki zindagi museebaton se ghiri rahi.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Song: ek dil hazaar Gham kaise jee sakenge ham (Aag Ka Darya)
-------------------------------------------------------------

san 1954 mein Vinod ne film Ladla aur Ramman mein sangeet diya. dono filmon mein
Karan Diwan naayak bane. lekin phir wohi baat. yaani chhoTi 'budget' ki filmen.
na yeh filmen chalti aur isi wajah se in filmon ka madhur sangeet bhi logon se
anjaana reh jaata.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Song: tu jo likhe kismat aisi kaun tujhe bhagwan kahe (Ladla)
-------------------------------------------------------------

zaraa bhaagya ka parihaas to dekhiye, ek taraf Vinod joojh rahe the ek kaamyaab
sangeetkaar banne ke liye, zindagi ki takleefon aur kaThinaaiyon ka kinaara
karne ke liye, aur doosri taraf san 1955 mein unhe sangeet dene ka mauka milaa
kul 4 filmon mein jinmein se kam se kam 3 filmen 'comedy' filmen theen. lekin
Vinod ne apni vyaktigat pareshaaniyon aur takleefon ka asar apne kaam mein
naheen paDne diya. iska saboot hain in filmon ke liye unke banaaye yeh haasya
geet. 1955 ki yeh 4 filmen hain Ha Ha He He Ho Ho, Jalwa, Oot Patang aur Shri
Nagad Narayan. film Jalwa ka ek masti bhara gaana yahaan pesh hai.

-------------------------------------------------
Song: surma bareli ka kaajal hai dehli ka (Jalwa)
-------------------------------------------------

Hindi ke alaawaa Vinod ne kul 5 Punjabi filmon mein sangeet diya hai. yeh filmen
hain Chaman, Bhaiya Jee, Mitiar, Ashtalli aur Nikki. unki Hindi filmon mein
waapas aate hain, Vinod ne 1956 mein Makhkhee Choos aur Sheikh Chilli, aur 1957
mein Garma Garam aur Mumtaz Mahal jaisi filmon ka sangeet nirdeshan kiya. filmen
to chalee naheen lekin Vinod ke rache dhuno se achchha sangeet sunnewaale
shrotaaon ko pyaar zaroor ho gaya. Sudha Malhotra ke gaaye Makhkhee Choos film
ke is geet ko sunkar aap ko bhi pyaar ho jaayegaa aisa ham ummeed karte hain
doston!

------------------------------------------------------
Song: karne lage hain tumhe pyaar ham (Makhkhee Choos)
------------------------------------------------------

zindagi ki kaThinaaiyon aur pareshaaniyon se joojhte joojhte Vinod ki badkismati
ne unhe ek aur bhayaanak vaar kiya. gurde ki beemaari ne unhe buri tarah se
jakaD liya aur keval 37 varsh ki aayu mein 25 Decemeber 1959 ko, yaani ki
Christmas ke din unhone is dharti ko hamesha hamesha ke liye alvidaa keh diya.
Eric Roberts ke parivaar ne phir uske baad kabhi Christmas naheen manaaee.
sangeetkaar Vinod ki kahaani ek aise fankaar ki kahaani hai jo ta-umra sangharsh
karta raha, lekin pataa naheen zindagi kyun unse hameshaa rooThi hi rahi! unki
mrityu ke baad unke 3 aur filmen pradarshit huyeen jinmein se ek thi 1961 ki
film Dekhi Teri Bambai. yeh shirshak jaise Vinod ki shikaayat hai is maayaa
nagri se jisne unhe apnaakar bhi shaayad naheen apnaaya.

-----------------------------------------
Song: le chhoD chale duniya teri (Ramman)
-----------------------------------------

to doston, yahaan par aakar Khatam hoti hai sangeetkaar Vinod ki kahaani.
kahaani bhale hi poori ho gayi ho, Vinod chaahe ab hamaare beech maujood na hon,
lekin unka sangeet sadaa hamaare saath hai. ham jab chaahen unhe yaad kar sakte
hain unke geeton ko sunkar, unhe apne dil mein basaakar. Vinod ka sangeet safar
bahut chhoTaa bankar reh gaya. aaj Vinod ke gaye 50 saal guzar chuke hain. lekin
woh kehte hain na ki kalaakaar aur uski kalaa kabhi booDhee naheen hoti, woh
hamesha jawaan rehti hai, sadaabahaar rehti hai. Vinod bhi amar hain apne
sangeet ke zariye. doston, aaj ka yeh kaaryakram sunte sunte shaayad aap ka dil
udaas ho gaya hogaa, Ghamgeen ho gayi hogi, lekin chalte chalte ham chaahte hain
ki aapke hoThon ki hansi phir se waapas aa jaaye, Theek usi tarah se jaise in
par muskaan lekar aati hai Vinod ka sab se 'hit' geet. ek baar phir isi geet ki
jhalak sunkar Khush ho jaaiye, aur mujhe agle hafte tak ke liye ijaazat deejiye,
namaste.
