Lata’s S(hir)inging (Farh)added the heft

Hindi film writers and directors have always (Far)had a soft spot for Shirin Farhad, the pair of star-crossed loversS(hir)in Persian folklore.

Guzra Hua Zamaana, rendered by Mangeshkar, was indeed the most popular song on the soundtrack of the 1956 adaptation of the (La)tale.

WheN(a)qvizzed about the man who penned the track, only a true lover of Hindi film music would say his name (Tanvir).

And it was composed by S Mohinder, whose Sarname was Sarna.

When Naqvi (Laho)relocated to Pakistan and Mohinder emigrated to the United States, all one could say was, “Hafiz khuda tumhara”.
