saari umran dey pay gey wichoray muhammad rafi shamshad begum punjabi Pakistan Urdu indian hindi old song classical folk punjabi lahore pakistani film punjabi Shamshad Begum was born on April 14, 1919. She is still alive. The singer has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955.. Recently, she celebrated her 89th birthday at her elder sister's house and now she stays at Powai, Mumbai [3] She was conferred the Padma Bhushan in 2009. Until the end of the 1970s, nobody knew her face at all, though everybody could recognise her melodious voice as it was used by the great maestros like Naushad Ali and O. P. Nayyar. Even today, her songs from the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s are popular and continue to be remixed by music directors.Begum sang for the All India Radio (AIR) through her musical group 'The Crown Imperial Theatrical Company of Performing Arts', set up in Delhi. The then AIR Lahore helped her entering the world of movies as they frequently broadcast her songs, which induced music directors to use her voice for their films. Shamshad also recorded "naats" and devotional music for a couple of gramophone recording companies.

Her crystal-clear voice caught the attention of sarangi maestro Ustad Hussain Bakshwale Saheb, who took her as his disciple. Lahore-based composer Ghulam Haider used her voice skillfully in some of his earlier films like Khazanchi (1941) and Khandaan (1942). When he moved to Bombay in 1944, Shamshad went with him as a member of his team, leaving behind her family and staying with her Chacha (paternal uncle). She is credited with singing one of the first Westernised songs, Meri jaan...Sunday ke Sunday by C. Ramchandra. O.P. Nayyar describes her voice as that of a "temple bell" for its clarity of tone. Begum became a national rage between the 1940s and the late 1950s, having a voice different from her peers like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Geeta Dutt and Amirbai Karnataki.

  • @lyallpurr yeah thanx this was the song i was lookin for ,from the movie bhangra actually, i was mistaking

  • Dear Murad Khan Sahib,

    Thank you very much for this information. I truly appreciate your kindness. Hans Raj Behl composed some very original songs, including 'Hai jiya roey pia naahi aye' in Milan. I think he did not get the recognition he deserved.

    Best regards,

    Ishtiaq

  • wow. this is intense...

  • Absolutely fantastic song. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gem.

  • Gut wrenching lyrics, beautiful melody and awesome voice of Rafi and Shamshad Begum!
