Rafi’s rendition comforted the Heart-Broken

I know that heartbroken isn’t hyphenated, and that neither heart nor broken are capitalised.

But the subject of this post was composed by a pair of brothers who bore those initials – Husnlal Bhagatram [who taught composers Shankar (of the Shankar Jaikishan jodi) and Laxmikant (Pyarelal’s partner) and singer Mahendra Kapoor].

The track in question was Ek Dil Ke Tukde Hazaar Hue.

It was from Pyar Ki Jeet, the 1948 film that marked the directorial debut of O P Dutta (director J P Dutta’s father).

Qamar Jalalabadi penned the song, which was rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
