As I’ve stated
earlier, people associated with Hindi films in the Golden Era had numerous sources
of inspiration, including the verses of the mystic Kabir [whose name, of
course, inspired Dekh Kabira Roya, a
film that released in 1957 and, contrary to its title, was a comedy.]
Its soundtrack
included a ghazal, Humse Aaya Na Gaya,
which was rendered by none other than the palindomically-named Talat Mahmood.
It was penned by
Rajinder Krishan, composed by Madan (Moh)and could be translated to, “I couldn’t
bring myself to come, and you couldn’t bring yourself to call me.”
