Talat Mahmood , I adore his songs.I can listen to him over and over and over again without ever getting bored. But I love almost anyything Talat sang.In this blog I have taken those songs which are solo and sad songs. His control, evocative voice, and pauses won him the admiration of fans across the Indian subcontinent.
We all know Dev Anand for his light-hearted songs, especially his being totally at home with his heroines in duets, but, he was also outstanding in melancholic roles. In this blog, my effort is to give you not just the best sad songs of Dev Anand but also some philosophical songs also. In 1956 his film Funtoosh was released. the film had many funny songs in it but the most popular song was Dukhi Mun Mere,Sun Mera Kehna sung by Kishore Kumar was a sad song. The first sad song of Dev Anand wasMarne Ki Duwayen Kyun Mangu from 1948 film Ziddi which was Kishore Kumar,s First film song.Another sad song was sung by Mukesh for him in the 1948 film Vidya "Bahe Na Kabhi Nain Se Nir " I am posting this song especially for Dev Anand's fans who have not heard Mukesh singing for him. In the 1963 movie Sharabi (Drunkard), Dev Anand excelled himself in a melancholic role.The movie had some of the saddest songs of Dev Anand; eg, ‘Mujhe le chalo phir aaj us gali mein’, ‘sawan ke mahine mein’ and this number: Kabhi Na Kabhi, Kahin Na Kahin, Koi Na Koi To Aayega’. Lyrics are by Rajinder Krishan who wrote the maximum lyrics for Madan Mohan and music is by the latter.

One cannot but mention the classic song ‘Yaad aa gayin woh nashili nigahen’, sung by Hemant Kumar, composed by maestro S D Burman and penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri. "Main in zakhmon ko seeke, Kya karun hosh mein jeeke: Yaaro tham lena tham lena meri baahen Yaad aa gayin vo nasheeli nigaahen."

I shall do grave injustice if I don’t choose this number in the top sad songs of Dev Anand from 1963 movie Kinare Kinare in which Dev Anand acted opposite Meena Kumari. This song is sung by Manna De. Though there is a very beautiful song .jab gam-e ishq satata hai to has leta hoon’. sung by Mukesh. This song was not picturised on Dev Anand instead Chetan Anand lip-synched this song

What a mesmerising lyrics by Neeraj,. What a touchy voice of Kishore Kumar and above all Music Composer by S D Burman Ji This song of Gambler 1971 is a sad song of Dev Saab

As late as in 1973, Dev Anand sang on the same theme in Joshila. The movie was directed by Yash Chopra. In this film Dev Anand is imprisoned for a murder that he didn’t commit but it was pinned on him by the evidence of the same witness whose life and honour he had tried to save. The movie, therefore, opens with this song by Dev Anand in the prison. The combination of Sahir, SD Burman and Kishore was the most abiding combination for Dev Anand. Enjoy the song: Kiska rasta dekhe ai dil ai saudaayi, Meelon hai khaamoshi, barson hai tanhaayi…
