[waseemhaiderkhan1]

master manzoor hussain composed this song for S.P john in savera 1957 my dear friends i thought you should have to know who is the music director for this song because master manzoor composed many other beautyful ghazals like wo ishq jo hum say rooth gaya, daghe dil hum ko yaad aanay lagay to jo nahi hai and many many more beautyful songs , master manzoor is the most knowlegeable music composer in india and pakistan.

S B John ! Great voice..I would like to know more about him..A few lines about his life and times would help. I am a radio presenter and before I put this slick voice on air I would like to tell the listeners a little more about all these kind of greats which are lost in a crowd. I think one of you's know a little more. Any help..that will be nice ..Thanks

[ykamal6]

Is it true that S B John only sung this song and then he couldn't sing anymore as his rivals gave him "sindoor" which affected his voice for ever. Pity....

[lovehumanity]

@ykamal6 not at all true.. hes still teaching music in a school in Karachi..

[hatobacho88]

lovely song...lovely man...he has been known to me more as Sir S B John than S B John...he teaches in a school in karachi...im now 23 yrs...have known him since class 1..nice memories of me being asked by him to stand up sing any song in front of class...PHEW!!! he then said hes jst joking! heheh

Wonderful Dr. Bukhari, you gave a good & detailed introduction of great singer of Pakistan SB Jonh. This song is indeed an unforgetable gift from SB John. Thank you for posting it.

[lakefork7]

Dr. Bukhari, I need to befriend you. Thanks a lot for those rare videos that you uploaded from the time when Pakistan had two wings. I wanted to thank you earlier but failed till today. Keep it up ! my friend. Good job.

Thank you once again for the titles like Nawab Siraj ud dowla, Darshan, Talash etc. etc. Certainly in those days Eastern wing used to produce good movies which drew big crowd.Those days are gone. Is left 'Remembrance is the only paradise out of which we can't be driven away'.

[kashorif]

jo tu hamsafar hai to kuch gham nahi haii

[moviefreak7007]

Its not perfect word to word translation, the song is in urdu and hindi so m not much into urdu, but translation has the meaning of the song

Whats life without u, even if I have everything,

You r in my eyes than heart is happy and I dont know what lies in path of love,

If u r with me than I have no complaint from life and there is no life even if I have everything but not u

U come or no, will wait for u, even stars are looking for u, without u life is not life even if it is glorified...

[MrKhano111]

please help 756640 in translating in English

[sqhzaidi]

Very informative side note. Dr. Bukhari's brilliant contribution is scattered all across length and width of YT in numerous ways.

[50hmanor]

old is gold

[look8u]

I remember when I was a child and I used to hang with my father in mid 70s. I know he used to murmur this song, perhaps I never heard this either on TV or in a film. By the tune and wording I am 100% sure it was the song which takes me back to my early childhood.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful song.

[shobiboy123]

John, u done very well, bravo!!

[kchohan97]

I don't have words to express my emotions for this performance. what singing...what a blessed voice!

[udamba]

What a waste!!!! S B John sang this song which is a classic. I wonder Y we ca'nt take advantage of such talented people. I do'nt recall any other song by him. He could have sung many many songs.

[noor33]

what a mindblowing music and voice!! Thanks for sharing with us.

[2311971]

[ghazali77]

greatwork, lovehumanity, u have done a great favor to all of us by uploading this rarest of the rare gems, thanks a lot, keep sharing

[musicparast]

bahotkhoob!

unfortunately, I had never heard him before, only heard ABOUT him..

what a simple, soothing, sensitive and yet very elegant rendering!

~ like Pakismine said, and Lovehumanity seconded a month ago, it IS an addictive song, I already have heard it a half a dozen times! I am sure I will come back here and listen to it many times more ...

thank you so much for sharing!

[zukervati]

I remember watching this very rendition on PTV with my late father. Him explaining the intricacies of the ghazal itself, composition, delivery, accompaniment and, of course, the veritable sound of everlasting Mr. S.B. John. He should be considered a National Treasure of Pakistan. Thank you for putting up this gem of a song and keep it up.

[pakismine]

addictive song!

[lovehumanity]

exactly :)

[prazuprazu]

what a fool I was !! Now only I have realized the fact that this song was an old one and not composed by Pritam for the film 'woh lamhe'. One doubt, who is Glen John? is he related to S.B.John?

[lovehumanity]

its okay Sir

we all learn by mistakes yaar :)

and NO Glen John is not related to S.B.John to my knowledge.

[shazmt]

Actually, Glenn John is the son of S B John also has another son called Robin, who I believe also sings very well

[hsinaad]

please if u can send me a message with the translation of the lyrics asap thanx very much!

[goodboyla]

You can get the lyrics.Go to the 1959 version posted by Dr Bukhari

[lovehumanity]

Lyrics are here as well..in description. plz check.

[nushrah]

lovely song

[lovehumanity]

thanx.. and u got a lovely name :)

[Bakhti66]

My father played this song repeatedly some 40 odd years back.Now I play this song repeatedly and can understand why he did it.Brilliant.

[goodboyla]

friend , theres someone else playing this again and again..ME !!! my wife says Im going mad !

[Aartib40]

Dr. Sahaab, I'd preferred version of 1959, but after Analyzing I prefer 1972 version.? Well in the 1959 version there is much going on. The music although lovely is loud and it wanna give a colour to the song, that is why we prefer '59 one. But there Is also some sound added to the Awaaz of SB (I guess) and that gives his awaaz not the original feelings. So the version of 1972 is better because the music suits the song and his Awaaz is his awaaz No Hi sounds are added. Do correct If wrong plz.

[goodboyla]

Yes Sir there is a differenece..the 1959 version has a loud jhanjer which is incongrous with the mood and temperament of this song..but dont you think in the 1959 version his voice is stronger and more endearing..of course he must have aged and mellowed between 1959 and 1972 ..13 yerars later

[Aartib40]

Well Hello Goodboyla,

Ji I still think the 1972 one is the best one..sorry but his awaaz had the best sound and it is also like a whispering soft mood, i do like that. In the 1959 there is maybe a stronger voice but i doubt it is his voice i think the volume is loud and the added sound is also high..but i do think it is everyone's his/hers own taste. if you like the other one, no problem. And am not a Sir, thnx for replying, bye Aarti.

[lahore2vancouver]

what a beautiful song,ever green one of my favourite song.I can,t under stand after only one sooooooooo popular song where S.B.John vanished? Thank you very much lovehumanity ji ,when i left Pakistan 1976 made a audio cassete of all my favourites frm indo-pak songs this song was also in that tape used to listen in solitude but in 85 i left calgary for good i left in one of friends car including A.nayyar,s private for my last night,s yadgar (mixlolly & bollwd.),jaye app kaha,laga chunrimein,etc.

[goodboyla]

I heard it just once ..in 1983 and never forgot.Now 25 yeras later I stumbled upon it on youtube...Thanks the size of the Himalaya Parbat to Dr Bukhari Ji

[alaap786]

Pakistan's one of the top songs of the legendary Mr.S.B.John Sahib beautiful voice of its time, still I sings his song on my harmonium, every chance I get in my family gathering. I feel I have to sing his song otherwise the mahfil is not be one without it. Thanks to Dr.Bukhari Sahib for bring my childhood memories and really touch my heart by providing us real video of Mr.S.B. John Sahib.

[lovehumanity]

thanx for compliments janab :)

[Jalilm123]

Bukhari, welldone

First time i m watching S.B. John video. thanks again, heart touching voice. :)

[lovehumanity]

ty buddy :)

nice to have u here

[earthling3m]

Thanks, Dr. Sahib, good song and good performance. I never understood why S. B. John Sahib had only one major hit. Surely he could have had a longer career?

[Jalilm123]

You are right, John sahib had only one big hit, other then that I never heard him. If some one have any of his rare collections, please upload.

[ezeeusb]

Thanks doc for posting such a wonderful gem what treat love it. jalil bahi lets get some mony to gather so we can bribe govt of pakistan to give Dr. Sahib sitara-e-khidmet
