Tu Ganga Ki Mauj, Main Jamuna Ka Dhaara (which means, “You are a wave of the
River Ganges, and I am the flow of the River Yamuna”) was based on Raga
Bhairavi.
The duet from Baiju Bawra, which was sung by Lata
Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi, was penned by Shakeel Badayuni.
Mr Ali bagged
the inaugural Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for this song in 1954*. (Nau)S(h)adly,
it was his only win.
(*Note: In 1954
and 1955, the trophy was awarded to the composer for a particular song and not
for the entire soundtrack.)
