		<title>tu hindu banega na musalmaan banega</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lovely song, beautifully sung by Rafi from the movie Dhool ka Phool (1959).  Fitting in with my nationalistic posts in the last week or so, this is a must for our secular India. tu hindu banega na musalmaan banega insaan ki aulaad hai insaan banega qudrat ne to banaai thi ek hi duniyaa hamne [...]]]></description>

		<title>ye mahaloN ye taKhtoN ye taajoN ki duniya</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Going over the list of posted songs and nazms, I was surprised to see I hadn&#8217;t posted this song yet on this site.  This happens to be one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite movies ever, Pyaasa (Guru Dutt).  The song is simply amazing!  I think it fits in nicely with my [...]]]></description>

		<title>cheen-o-arab hamaaraa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s song is &#8220;cheen-o-arab hamaaraa&#8221; from the movie Phir Subah Hogi.   I know this is not a &#8220;patriotic&#8221; song per say, but being a nice parody on Iqbal&#8217;s &#8220;taraana-e-milli&#8221; and his &#8220;taraana-e-Hind&#8221;, I thought I might as well post it while waiting for Independence day 2010. Here&#8217;s an interesting comment by &#8220;Bismil&#8221; originally posted [...]]]></description>

		<title>bhool sakta hai bhalaa kaun ye pyaari aaNkheiN</title>

		<title>Sahir&#8217;s taKhallus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How does a poet chooses his pseudonym? Specifically, the question is, how did Sahir chose his?  Sahir which means &#8220;magician&#8221;, was definitely a pseudonym worthy of this poet who created magic with his words.  Note that Sahir, nee Abdul Hayee, was born in 1921 in Ludhiana.  His life-story has been talked about in several posts [...]]]></description>
