FEROZA BEGUM ..Tum Bhulaye na Gaye .. Nargis ..A rare sad forgotten song



DAILYMOTION

This is one of the loveliest Non-Film songs that one cannot get tired of listening it again and again. There is something special about it. Firoza Begum in her unique and beautiful voice has infused agony and angst into this engrossing composition of Kamal Dasgupta.

I have compiled this video on Nargis ji as only she can portray the agony in the song.

The Lyrics of the song with English Translation are:
تم بھلاےؑ نا گیےؑ
Tum Bhulaye na Gaye
Tum bhulaye na gaye, haaye.. bhulaye na gaye!
(I could not forget you, ah.. could not forget you)
ساتھ آنکھوں نے تو دیا
Saath ankhooN ne humara to diya! 
(Although my eyes helped relieve my agony)
آنسووؑں نے بھی سہارا نا دیا
AnsuooN ne bhi sahara to diya!
(My tears also supported me)
داغ ے دل پھر بھی مٹاےؑ نا گیےؑ
Dag e dil phir bhi mittaye na gaye!
(Even then, the scars of my heart could not be erased)

Tum bhulaye na gaye! 

چاند نکلا ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ نکلا
Chand nikla     nikla ... 
(The Moon has risen.. risen....)
چاند نکلا تیری صورت لے کر
Chand nikla teri surat ley kar!
(the Moon has risen with your portrait in it) 
رات آیؑ تو مصیبت لے کر
Raat aaii to mosibat le kar!
(The night came with all the trouble)

Chand nikla teri surat ley kar!
Raat aaii to mosibat ley kar!
غم کے بادل تو ہٹاےؑ نا گیےؑ
Gham ke badaal to hattaye na gaye!
(I could not wish away  the clouds of gloom!)

Tum bhulaye nag aye! 
آگ آہوں نے لگا کر چھوڑا
Aag ahooN ne laga kar chhoRa!
(my sighs and moans have put me into the fire)
آرزوں کو جلا کر چھوڑا
ArzoouN ko jala kar chhoRa!
(and this fire has incinerated all my wishes)
ہم سے یہ دیپ بجھاےؑ نا گیےؑ
hum se yeh deep bhujaye na gaye!
(I could not put out these lamps)

Tum bhulaye na gaye, haaye bhulaye na gaye

Feroza Begum was born in Faridpur district, Bangladesh, in the 1930s. She was drawn to music in her childhood. She had no formal education in music, but she used to deliver songs on the megaphone listening to contemporary music. She got enormous support from her family and took part in school music competitions. In 1955, Feroza Begum made the most challenging decision in her life. She migrated from Dhaka to Kolkata to try a music career there.

 Kamal Dasgupta, a great composer of that time, who was then based in Calcutta, trained her. Unfortunately people who contribute immensely to the arts are often quickly forgotten. This was the story of Kamal Dasgupta, who did so much for cinema of the subcontinent as a playback singer and composer.

 In 1960, Kamal Dasgupta married Feroza Begum. She became so engrossed in family life that she could not continue music for six years. As a singer in Kolkata, Feroza Begum has had some spectacular achievements. An enlisted artist of Akashbani Kolkata, Feroza Begum used to render music genres such as Nazrul Sangeet, Rabindra Sangeet, thumri, dhadra, ghazals, bhajan, geet and folk songs. Nobody in those days in Kolkata was interested in Nazrul Sangeet.
