अनवर नदीम (1937-2017) का एक गीत जिसे मुहम्मद रफ़ी (1924-80) ने गाया

 

चाहूँ भी तो सोच न पाऊं मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है
ऐसे में क्या तुम को बताऊँ मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है 

अपने मन का राही होकर, अपने मन से हार गया हूँ
किस की ख़ातिर इतनी जल्दी अपनी हदों के पार गया हूँ 

चाहूँ भी तो सोच न पाऊं मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है
ऐसे में क्या तुम को बताऊँ मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है 

गीत हमारे गाती जाए दर्द की टोली रस्ते-रस्ते
कितनी सदियां बीत गयी हैं अपनी गाथा रचते-रचते 

चाहूँ भी तो सोच न पाऊं मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है
ऐसे में क्या तुम को बताऊँ मेरा मन क्या सोच रहा है
 
"In 1971 he (Anwar Nadeem) met Satyanand Rao, who hailed from a village in Andhra Pradesh and wanted to make a film that was set in Lucknow. Nadeem’s Kirchein, about a woman who tries to bring her sister out of the kotha-tawaif (courtesan) world by marrying her off to her own lover, caught Rai’s fancy. Three songs were recorded in Bombay (now Mumbai), among them, a rare Muhammad Rafi gem: ‘Chaahoon bhi to soch na paaoon mera mann kya soch raha hai. However much I try, I can never tell what my heart is feeling.’ A unit came down to Lucknow from Bombay for the shoot. But things got stalled even before they could start in earnest. A production of Mehfil Films, launched by Nawab Jafar Mir Abdullah in the ’80s, Kirchein never saw the light of day for lack of finances – or so the nawab claims."
