“Hum laayen hain toofan se kashti nikaal ke”
is a Hemant Kumar composition from Jagriti.
It literally means,
“We have steered our boat through the storm.”
Mohammed Rafi was
picked to caution future generations of Indians against becoming complacent.
Needless to say, the rendition was (too)fantastic.
However, it
must, unfortunately, be said that not enough attention was paid to Kavi Pradeep’s
lyrics. If they had, we would be living in a better place.
Ironically, at
that point, the icon of the (Ra)Fifties was probably unaware of the
professional storm he would have to weather eventually.
