YE SHAM KI TANHAIYAN AISE MEIN TERA GHUM………

Chandra Gopal Shroti's Tribute to SJ (14th एपिसोड)

(For full story please visit Shri Gopal Shroti's blog http://gopalshroti.wordpress.com/

HERE i am describing about the song, which came from the pen of great POET/LYRICIST, SHAILENDRA. …..the song has most softer sentiments and the smell of roses and the purity of heart. the composers are SHANKAR JAIKISHAN, WHO MADE IT IMMORTAL , with the minimum of orchestration. ….this is their excellence in forming the emotions into a song by keeping minimum of the instruments and they conceived that LET THE NIGHT SING THE SONG…they understood that the song is an emotional expression of the sufferer…..they have the words to formulate and convert them into a soulful domain…….this is where, they are at their best and went into the memory of each listener……to make live the dreamy evening with lovely clouds and coming night’s resonance, they brought life into theit tune, so the silence shivered in every corner. they gave this silence the beauty of a still lake with reflections of full moon…..and the heart goes to the unusual sentiments poured into each word by Shailendra. here goes the wording of the immortal composition from film AAH:
"ye sham ki tanhaiyan, aise mein tera ghum, patte kahin phadke hawa aai to chounke hum….ye sham ki……
jis rah se tum aane ko the, uske nishan bhi mitne lage; aaye na tum sau sau dafa aaye gaye mousam……ye sham ki
seene se laga teri yaad ko, roti rahi mein raat ko, halat pe meri chand taare ro gaye shabnam……ye sham ki tanhaiyan, aise mein tera ghum."
LATAJI by her golden voice gave it a permanent existence, which mixes the nector, in all pervading emotions. by her voice, she enhanced the solitude of the lady and her painful echo as the night is setting in.
THIS WAS THE MAGIC OF S-J, WHOSE COMPOSITION WITH THE VOICE OF LATAJI AND THE WORDINGS OF SHAILENDRA TOOK THEM ABOVE THE MORTALS AND THEIR CREATION WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ALIVE………(TO BE CONTINUED)……….(

Friends,

It is hard to believe that Shankarji would have been 86 today and his first musical start in Barsaat was 60 years ago! Time flashes by so fast and leaves us with memories of SJ music and events associated with them।Shankarji, up in heavens in the company of Shiv (or Shankar Bhagwaan) is probably composing music for tandav nrutya and dazzling the god of his musical creations.

I must tell you all that when I first met Shankarji he was little guarded and very careful about his answers. On my second visit, after winning his trust as a true diehard SJ fan, he opened up totally. What he loved was how much interest I had shown in his music and he was just dumb-founded by the analysis of his music by his fan. HE REALLY ENJOYED THAT. I can still remember that look on his face of being humbled by his fan's love for his music.Today on his birthday, he is looking at all of us in the SJ forum and loving every moment of it! Keep up the musical discussion and share this and all with new young fans.

Happy birthday Shankarji!
