“But Taraash” (1947), forgotten movie by now had an interesting history behind it.
Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia has to say about this movie:
The story and history of film BUTT TARASH is very interesting.Here it is……
BUtt Tarash and Khana Badosh were being made in Lahore in early 1947. Butt Tarash had Pran, Manorama, Suresh, Irshad and Khana Badosh had Pran, Manorama, Kalawati and Ajmal. Both films were directed by Afzal Jahangir and Ghulam haider was Music Director for both films.When partition took place all activities of films in Lahore stopped.
Most Hindu actors etc had shifted to India and Muslim actors to Pakistan.
Just after the partition, Pran, Manorama, Nasir Khan, Suresh, Begum Para, Himalayawala, Shahnawaz, Najmul Hussain, Sadiq Ali(Minerva king), Ghouri, Charlie, Luddan, Ghulam Mohammed etc went back to Lahore, for settlement of dues, property etc.
After observing the poor conditions and dark future of Lahore and Pakistan film industry, Pran, Manorama, Suresh, Begum Para and Nasir Khan returned to India. But before returning, Nasir Khan acted in Pakistan’s First film Teri Yaad as a hero, Suresh completed Shahida and Do Kinarey and Pran and Manorama completed both their films, viz Butt Tarash and Khana Badosh.
Butt Tarash was not released in Lahore but is listed as an Indian film, and there was no trace as to what happened to Khana Badosh.
Both these films’ names do appear in the Golden Jubilee List of Pakistani Films, published in 1986, as Pakistani films. But the prints of these films are untraceable anywhere.
Since all the 11 songs of Butt tarash were recorded by Ghulam Hyder in India, before going to Pakistan, these records are available here but no records of Khana Badosh-whose songs were recorded in Lahore. They too are not available there.
The son of director Afzal Jahangir is Mehmood Jehangir, who is a Pakistani film director of repute.
One song from “But Taraash” (1947) has been discussed in the past. Here is another song from this song. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Ghulam Haider is the music director.
I have not been able to find about the lyricist of this song. I request our knowledgeable readers to tell us about the lyricist of this nice song.
May the soul of Shamshad Begam (14 april 1919- 23 aprl 2013) rest in peace.
Song-Ae falak yoon hi sataata jaayegaa (But Taraash)(1947) Singer-Shamshad Begam, MD-Ghulam Haider
Lyrics
Ae falak
ae falak
yoon hi sataata jaayega
tu naye fitne jagaata jaayegaa
tu naye fitne jagaata jaayegaa
ae falak
ae falak
yoon hi sataata jaayega
ae falak
ae muqaddar tu kahaan tak yoon mujhe
ae muqaddar tu kahaan tak yoon mujhe
har qadam par aazmaata jaayegaa
ae falak
ae falak
yoon hi sataata jaayega
tu naye fitne jagaata jaayegaa
ae falak
paas aakar
door manzil ho gayi
paas aakar
door manzil ho gayi
koi kab tak
dukh uthhaata jaayega
ae falak
ae falak
yoon hi sataata jaayega
ae falak
ae zamaane
zindagi ki raah mein
ae zamaane
zindagi ki raah mein
tu yoonhi kaante bichhaata jaayega
ae falak
ae falak
yoon hi sataata jaayega
tu naye fitne jagaata jaayegaa
ae falak

The world has lost another legend. 😦
I love listening to Shamshad Begum songs. Her voice was unique – and always full of life.
Rest in Peace, Shamshad ji. You may have left this world but your songs will remain here forever.
