' JHUKTI GHATAA GAATI HAWAA SAPNE JAGAAYE "


Music director N Datta was a simple man. He was born in Goa and was also known as Datta Nayak. N Datta and Sahir created three masterpieces with superb music and lyrics. These films are Dharmputra ( 1961 ) , Dhool Ka Phool( 1959 ), and Sadhana ( 1958 ). Sahir recommended Asha to N Datta for some songs of Dharmputra. And he was right. Asha sang the memorable song "Mein jab bhi akeli hoti huun" for Dharmputra.. 

For Dhool Ka Phool, Sahir wrote " Tu meray pyaar ka phool hai ki koyee bhool hai ". When Lata Ji sang it, the song turned immortal. Sahir requested N Datta to give a song or two to Sudha Malhotra as well. And Sudha sang the beautiful " Ka se kahuun mun ki baat ".
                                                                                   

While recording songs of Sadhna, Lata ji choked with emotions thrice when she sang " Aurat ne janam diya Mardon ko ". She told Sahir,' Sahir sahib, yeh kyaa shabdh likhein hain. Gaa nahin pa rahi huun. Mein shayad yeh gaana nahin gaa paaoongi.' and Sahir replied, "Lata Ji agar aap nahin ga paayeen to hindustaan mein yeh gaana koyee nahin ga saktaa. " Lata asked for a glass of water and started singing once again. 
                                                                          
                                                                   ( Sahir with Lata Mangeshkar )


For the Bhajan " Tora manwa kyon gabraaye re ", Sahir recommended the comforting voice of Geeta Dutt.That proved a perfect selection.
