Of the seven Hasrat Jaipuri songs in Barsaat, ‘Jiya Beqarar Hai’ was the most popular.
In fact, Shankar – Jaikishan, Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri became a team even without Raj Kapoor, with movies like Daag (1952), Patita (1953), Seema (1955), Basant Bahar (1956), Ujala (1959) and Junglee (1961). After the success of the film and its music, the team of Raj Kapoor, Shankar – Jaikishan, Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri would go on to recreate magic for films like Awara (1951), Aah (1953), Boot Polish (1953), Shree 420 (1955), Chori Chori (1956), Anari (1959), Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai (1960) and many more. Jiya Beqarar Hai Chhayi Bahaar Hai ( Barsaat, 1949)īarsaat was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. In this post, I pick a few gems from this period of Hasrat Jaipuri’s career. Between 19, he had already built a body of work that is worth celebrating. I would argue that the decline in his career post 1971 did not really impact his legacy.
This was a huge setback for Hasrat Jaipuri and he was never able to regain his foothold in the film industry. The outlier in this tremendously successful team, Hasrat Jaipuri isn’t celebrated to the extent that Shankar–Jaikishan and Shailendra are.Īfter Jaikishan passed away in 1971, Raj Kapoor’s partnership with this talented quartet disintegrated. A widely accepted thumb rule to identify the composer of a Shankar–Jaikishan song is based on the song’s lyricist – Shailendra wrote lyrics for Shankar’s tunes and Hasrat Jaipuri penned Jaikishan’s compositions. Unlike Laxmikant–Pyarelal, who had a clear demarcation of responsibilities, both Shankar and Jaikishan composed tunes. Starting with Barsaat (1949), Raj Kapoor’s team consisting of music directors Shankar–Jaikishan and lyricists Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri churned out popular scores film after film for over two decades. He once said, “Hindi and Urdu are like two great and inseparable sisters”.
Jaipuri has written several books of poetry, in Hindi and Urdu. His last film as a lyricist was Hatya: The Murder (2004). #JANIYA BEWAFA HAI TU LYRICS MOVIE#
Jaipuri also wrote screenplay for the movie Hulchul (1951). When fellow lyricist Shailendra turned producer with Teesri Kasam (1966), he invited Jaipuri to write lyrics for the movie. Jaipuri alleges that after Raj Kapoor’s death, the music composer Ravindra Jain “conspired” to “scrap” his lyrics and replace them with his own lyrics. Later, he also invited him to write three songs for the movie Henna (1991). The former finally asked the latter to write lyrics for the film Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985). Kapoor initially wanted to call him back for Prem Rog (1982), but later settled for another lyricist, Amir Qazalbash. After the death of Jaikishan and failures of Mera Naam Joker (1970) and Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971), Raj Kapoor turned to other lyricists and music directors. Along with Shailendra, Jaipuri wrote lyrics for all Raj Kapoor films till 1971. His second song (and first duet) was Chhor Gaye Baalam. Jaipuri wrote his first recorded song, Jiya Beqaraar Hai for the film. Raj was planning a musical love story, Barsaat (1949) with Shankar-Jaikishan as music composers. At one such event, Prithviraj Kapoor noticed and recommended him to his son, Raj Kapoor. In 1940, Jaipuri came to Bombay and started working as a bus conductor, earning a monthly salary of 11 rupees, while also participating in mushairas. He began writing verses, when he was around 20 years old. Hasrat Jaipuri did mid-level schooling in Jaipur then studied Urdu and Persian from his paternal grandfather, Fida Husain. He was the recipient of Josh Malihabadi Award and was also awarded a doctorate from the World University Round Table. Ambedkar Award for Jhanak Jhanak Tori Baaje Payaliya (Mere Huzoor, 1968), a Brajbhasha song. He was also a renowned film lyricist in Hindi films for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist, for Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana (Andaz, 1971) and Baharon Phool Barsao (Suraj, 1966), respectively.
