Composer Nashad

 Today is the birth anniversary of  music director Nashad ( not to be confused with another outstanding  Bollywood music director  Naushad ), who was active in Bollywood in  '40s & '50s and composed music .He was born Shaukat Ali  this day in 1923 at New Delhi. The songs composed by him for movies 'Naghma' and 'Baradari' became very popular and  are played to this day . A song in film Naghma - Kahe Jadu kiya, mujhko itna bata jadugar balma - was beautifully sung by Ameerbai  Karanataki   & Shamshad Begum separately.Another song from the same film - Badi mushkil se dil ki  beqarari ko qarar aya - sung by Shamshad Begum is very popular. The duet  -bhula nahin dena ji bhula nahin dena- sung by Rafi & Lata , and Tasveer Banata hun , tasveer nahin banati - sung by Talat Mahmood particularly stand out.

He migrated to Pakistan in 1964 and composed music for films there .

He died  on 14 January, 1981, aged 57.

Our humble tributes 🙏
