Does it ever happen to you that when you hear a song or a melody and it reminds you of some person? any person? But just that song has an ability to take you back in time and that person's face just comes up in your mind.
Years ago, when as a kid I used to go with my dad to musical functions organized by his company, Elecon, or his group, and someone from his group or department or organization would sing a song. It happened so often that I'd hear a song for the first time in my life at such a music party and subconsciously become a fan of that song instantly along with a fan of that person who sang the song!
Mr. Bagga used to be one of those people. I still am a huge fan of him. This was his signature song, and it probably still is. :) Almost all the musical functions that I attended, he was there and this is the song he'd sing and with such an enthusiasm that I just started calling the song his. Eventually, as I was growing up, I realized it was from a movie and actually sung by one of my favorite singers Mohd. Rafi. But the song still remains Mr. Bagga's signature song for me, even today...
(पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
गली गली बहार की
बस एक छाँव जुल्फ की
बस एक निगाह प्यार की) (२)
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
यह दिल्लगी यह शोखियाँ सलाम की
यहीं तो बात हो रही है काम की
कोई तो मुड़ के देख लेगा इस तरफ
कोई नज़र तो होगी मेरे नाम की
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
गली गली बहार की
बस एक छाँव जुल्फ की
बस एक निगाह प्यार की
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
सुनी मेरी सदा तो किस यकीन से
घटा उतर के आ गयी ज़मीन पे
रही यही लगन तो ए दील-ए-जवान
असर भी हो रहेगा एक हसीन पे
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
गली गली बहार की
बस एक छाँव जुल्फ की
बस एक निगाह प्यार की
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
