FIVE EVERGREEN FILM SONGS WRITTEN BY URDU POET KAIFI AZMI

         
Dil ki tasalli ke liye,
Jhoothi chamak jhoothaa nikhaar
jeewan to soonaa hee rahaa,
sab samjhe Aayi hai bahaar
kaliyon se koyee poochhe to,
Hansatee hain yaa ke rotee hain
Aisi bhi baatein hoti hain.. .
.Aisi bhi baatein hoti hain.


So wrote Kaifi sahib for Bollywood Movie Anupama produced in 1966 .The song was set to music by Hemant Kumar for lata ji .What a great song sung to perfection by Lata ji ! The song was ably picturised by the director of the movie on Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore .The words go straight to your heart.
Other four songs of kaifi sahib which are my favourite too are as under:-

Yeh Nayan Dare Dare ,
yeh Jaam Bare Bare
Zaraa Peene do .

Kaifi sahib wrote this wonderful song for Bollywood movie Kohra in 1964 for Biswajeet and waheeda Ji . The song was set to a soulful music again by Hemant Kumar.

Zara si Aahat hoti hai
To dil sochta hai
Kahin ye woh to nahin?
Kahin ye woh to nahin?

This song Kaifi sahib wrote  for bollywood Movie Haqeeqat  .Great  Madan Mohan created a moving and  beautiful tune for the  song sung beautifully by Lata ji.

Waqt Ne kiyaa
kyaa Haseen Sitam
Tum Rahe na Tum
Hum Rahe Na Hum.
jayeinge kahaan Soojhtaa Nain ,
Chal Pade magar Raastaa nahin,
Kyaa Talaash hai Kuchh Pataa nahin,
Buun Rahaa Hai Dil
Khwaab Dhum B Dhum.

kaifi sahib wrote this song for Bollywood Movie Kagaz Ke Phool in 1959.The song was set to music by great Mastero Sachin dev Burman and picturised on waheeda ji and Guru Dutt.The song was sung by Guru Dutt's wife geeta dutt. The song threw pain and agony of two lovers to the listener.

Jaane kyaa Dhoondtee Rehtee Hain
ye Aankhein Mujh Me
Raakh ke Dher Me
sholaa Hai Na Chingaari Hai

kaifi Sahib wrote this song for Shola Aur Shabnam in 1961 . Khayaam sahib scored music for this painful song .The song was sung to perfection by great master Mohd Rafi...

 And  late Kaifi sahib  wrote following lines on 18.09.1974 at Moscow for Shabana's Birthday. Bollywood Actress and activist Shabana Azmi is  late kaifi sahib's daughter ..

 Ab Aur Kyaa Tera beemar Baap Degaa Tujhe ,

Buss Ek Dua Ki Khudaa Tujh Ko Kaamyaab kare.

Woh Taank Dhe Tere Aanchal mein Chaand Aur Taare ,

Tu Apne Waaste Jis Ko Bhi Intekhaab kare ................

( Kaifi Azmi ,Moscow 18.09.1974 0

Kyaa baat hai Kaifi sahib! . You will never die till your poetry is recited and the  songs penned by you are heard.

Jism Ki Maut Koi Maut Nahin Hotee Hai,
Jism Mit Jaane se Ailaan Nahin Mit jaate.
