Lyrics post -
terii in aa.Nkho.n ne - Alibaba - 1940
Surendra, Wahidan - Anil Biswas


Assuming that composing a simple song is simple, composing
a beautiful song must be very simple. This lovely duet in
Alibaba (1940) offers proof. If you cannot compose nice
songs, not composing anything at all is even simpler. Most
of us manage the feat. It seems composing junk is quite
complicated and requires great effort. Some of you might
have heard of R D Burman or A R Rahman; they would know
all about the complicated process.



A fan of Marathi poet Kusumagraj has narrated how the
great poet spawned wannabe imitators by the dozens. They
would read his latest great poem, be deluded once more by
its simplicity into thinking that writing great poem was
very easy and try their hand at it yet again only to
realise all over that it takes rare genius to present art
elegantly and yet simply. Listen to the Surendra, Wahidan
duet and experience the feeling. It begins with
bewitchingly simple music and without straining the least
bit for effect holds the listener spell-bound. Wahidan's
haunting delivery and Surendra's staid singing complement
each other nicely.

%    The film 'aliibaabaa' was made in Punjabi as well.
%    This song's Punjabi counterpart, sung by the same
%    two singers, is 'chubh gae kaleje viich nainaa.n de
%    tiir haae'. Anil Biswas has used the same tune with
%    very minor changes for the Punjabi version.
