Umrao Jaan Raagmala

[K Vijay Kumar]

There is a Raagmala in Umraao Jaan which appears when Rekha is still a
little girl and is being taught music by the teacher appointed for her.
I little recall this song from the film, and one of my friends brought
it to my notice. I got most of the lyrics, and then got in touch with
Vandana Vidwans for info about the various raag involved, which was my
friend's first objective in getting me to pay attention to the song.
Here is the song.

Thanks to Vandana, who put together the raag info about this song.

I have a Rashid Khan recording of the "ab morii naiyya paar karo jii"
bandish. I do not know if that is also in Gujarii To.Dii. If other parts
of the song are also from popular bandishes, maybe other RMIMers can
fill in the words in the few places where I could not figure out the
exact words.

I was not sure about some raaga's in the song,as my knowledge is
limited. Credit also should go to other people who helped me.
Vish Krishnan, Dr. Preeti Ranjan Panda and Arunabha.

I heard C R Vyas's "ab morii naiyya paar karo jii" it is gujari todii.

Bhimpalasi. At least, there is a traditional Bhimpalasi
cheez with these words! I will listen to the song again.

As an aside, Bhimpalasi would also fit into the time-
progression of the raags.

Hi,
Some nit-picking and related queries :

> ab more naiya paar karo jii

^^^^^^^^^^^
> hazarat nizam-ud-din auliya

Is it "jii" or "tum" ? If I hear something THAT different , maybe an
appointment with the ear-doctor (what's the medical term for that- some
-logist ??) is in order :)

> - raag : gujarii To.Dii

I came across this bandish in a raag called just "todi". Are "todi" and
"gujri todi" equivalent ?

> biraj me dhuum machaayo kaanha
> kaise ghar (kar?) jaauun apane gaanv (kaam?)
>

> - raag : kaafii
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry, that was my mistake . Thanks to Chetan for correcting that to
Bhimpalasi.

> darshan do shankar mahadev
> mahadev tihaare charan bin

^^^^^^^^

I think it's sharaN instead of charaN . Might make more sense that way,
don't you think ? It is extremely tough to make the distinction between
those two sounds, though, in the rendition.

> more kal naahi pa.Dat ghar pal chhin

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This has already been corrected by Vandana & Dr. Preeti ranjan.

^^^^^^^^^^^

I think it's "chhanak gaii" (i.e. as a result of paka.Dat bainyaa" ?)

Can someone post which raags the foll. songs from the raagmaalaa in Alaap
are ?

naii rii lagan aur miiThii batiyaa.N
piyaa jaane aur jiyaa moraa jaane sakhii
kis kis baat pe dha.Dake chhatiyaa.N

How about an audiologist? Sounds obvious? ;-)) Anyway, there is another
kind, an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist.

Shamelessly stealing from Satish Kalra,
Happy Listenings. :))

Hema.

Hi folks,

Some nettors have already corrected the text, so I'll leave that out. A few
other details need clarification.

Pandit C.R. Vyas has sung a vilambit bandish with similar words in Gurjari
Todi. However, the above bandish has long been a standard, I believe it's a
composition of Taanras Khan (RMIC-ers, doesn't his name appear in the antara
somewhere?). Khaiyyam-sahab has used this standard in the movie, and it is in
Miyan-Ki-Todi, (or I suppose you could call it Todi). Gurjari Todi is marked
by the absence of Pancham, while this bandish most definitely has the
Pancham.

As mentioned previously, this is another standard bandish in Bhimpalasi.

A small technicality; this bandish uses both Madhyams (though the shuddh
Madhyam is very brief), and thus would be called Yaman Kalyaan.

I'd like to know the correct words for this one...I've listened to it many
times, and can't figure it out.

Cheers,

First raga is not Gurjari (Gujri) odi but the classic Miyan Ki Todi

[mahes...@gmail.com]

Ab Mori Nayya paar is classic Miyan Ki Todi

Sugan (good) vichar aa so bamana (brahmin)

Biraj Mein Dhoom is Raga Bhimpalasi not Kaafi

Here is how I have put it together from different online sources and some good-fit changes from whatever is clear in the rendition of the original song...

रागमाला – उमराव जान

प्रथम धर ध्‍यान दिनेश, ब्रह्मा विष्‍णु महेश
– राग रामकली
अब मोरी नैया पार करो जी, हजरत निजामुद्दीन औलिया
– राग गूजरी तोडी
सुजन विचार आयो मन मा, कब पिया आयें मोरे मंदिरवा
– राग शुद्ध सारंग
बिरज में धूम मचायो कान्‍हा, कैसे कर जाउं अपने धाम
– राग काफी
दरशन दो शंकर महादेव, महादेव तिहारे शरण बिना, मोहे कल ना परत घरि पल छिन दिन
– राग यमन
पकरत बइयां मोरी बनवारी, चूरियां दरक (अस्‍पष्‍ट) गयीं सारी अनारी
– राग मालकौंस
बांसुरी बाज रही धुन मधुर, कन्हैया खेलत जा हर ओर (अस्‍पष्‍ट)
– राग भैरवी
