Aah, which released in 1953, didn’t elicit oohs and aahs, but
its soundtrack continues to be popular. Aaja
Re Ab Mera Dil Pukara (“Come, now my heart calls”), which was three minutes
and 44 seconds long, was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh.
It was penned by
Iqbal Hussain, better known as Hasrat Jaipuri. A former bus conductor, the
poet, who hailed from the capital of Rajasthan, made the transition from
issuing tickets to contributing to the sales of movie tickets. Ironically, his nom de plume means an unfulfilled
desire.
Shankar
Jaikishan were the composers.
