There are burning
desires in my chest, and there’s sadness in my eyes. No folks, I’m not
describing my anguish, but it’s an attempt to translate the first two lines of Seene Mein Sulagte Hain Armaan, from Tarana (1951).
It was one of
the finest renditions by Talat Mahmood, which wasn’t surprising at all, given
that he was the uncrowned Sultan of sombre songs. And Lata Mangeshkar took it
up a notch.
Unfortunately, Prem
– who penned this song – was (Dhaw)an unsung hero. And it wouldn’t be incorrect
to say that Anil (Bis)was a underrated composer.
