  Mehdi Hassan's voice gave life to the lyrics of the song and transformed it into a timeless entity to be hummed by generations to come. This happened when he sang ' Gulon Mein Rang Bhare'  the words of Faiz Ahmed Faiz for the film    Farangi  (1964).  It moved the poet so much that he bestowed  the song to Mehdi Hassan. This happens when two great combines together to create something, a masterpiece is born. This ghazal  is widely considered to be amongst the most popular as well as the very best of Faiz Sahib’s ghazals. Indeed, as many would consider it to also be amongst the best of Mehdi Hasan’s ghazals.

                                                                        Part 1  Thinking of theme songs, the idea clicked in my mind to have songs that have Mein or Mera in their lyrics or  introducing his or her character in the song like Awara Hoon or Mein Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya.

  When we think of the film Qawwali, this 12-minute long Qawwali comes to our mind. This Qawwali is from the super hit film Barsat Ki Raat (1960).  The other song of the film, especially the romantic title track  Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi , is another immortal song composed by Roshan.  There is a story behind this song,   that it was music director Khayyam wa signed on to compose the music for  Barsaat Ki Raat  (1960). But when R Chandra, the film’s producer and elder brother of its leading man Bharat Bhushan, insisted that the composer use the tune of  the qawwali   Na Toh But-Kade Ki Talab Mujhe , sung by the famed Pakistani duo of Mubarak Ali Khan and Fateh Ali Khan, Khayam refused to use the same tune, so he was  replaced by  Roshan, he  had no qualms about using the tune.       This Qawwali was written by Sahir Ludhianvi and  sung by Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey, Asha Bhonsle, Sudha Malhotra and...
