Jal Ke dil Khak Hua....

Jal Ke Dil Khak Hua-Lata Mangeshkar- Film Parichay 1954- Music Shailesh Mukherjee

Parichay was a film released in 1954, produced by Radheshyam Jhunjhunwala and directed by Satyen Bose. Music of the film was given by relatively unknown composer Shailesh. Nothing is known about either the film, it's plot and it's music director. Whatever little information is available shows that he was actor, singer as well as music director. He composed music for Suhag Sindoor 1953 with Suresh Kumar, for film Parichay with Ved Pal and for film Savera 1958. Not an impressive career as a composer. However some of his songs are outstanding, for example....

1. Nadiyake Pani O Re Nadiya ke Pani- Lata Mangeshkar- Lyrics Shailendra -Film Savera 1958
2. Mane Na Maane Naa- Geeta Dutt- Prem Dhawan- Film Savera 1958. and off course the above song " Jalke Dil Khah Hua".  The mukhda of the above song is taken from the classic song of K.L.Saigal " Andhe Ki Lathi Tu Hai from film Dhoop Chhao

दिल के फफोले जल उठे सीने के दाग़ से
इस घर को आग लग गई घर के चिराग़ से
जल के दिल खाक़ हुआ आँखों से रोया न गया
ज़ख्म ये ऐसे जले फूलों पे सोया न गया
आसरा देके हमें आस का दिल तोड़ दिया
लाके साहिल पे अकेला हमें क्यों छोड़ दिया
बीच मँझधार में क्यों हमको डुबोया न गया
हँसते देखा न गया बाग़ के माली से हमें
धूल में फेंक दिया तोड़के डाली से हमें
भूल -ए- नादान को माला में पिरोया न गया
हम खतावर हैं या हमको बनानेवाला
चाँद के मुखड़े पे भी दाग़ है काला काला
इतनी बरसातें हुई फिर भी वो धोया न गया
