After a long time, finally he was finding creative satisfaction in the assignment that he was offered.
After a long time, he felt that his compositions will be well received -
getting him back the position that he held - well deservedly, for a
long time.
After a long time, he had attended a party, though he returned home that night quite early.
And soon, in the early hours of 4th Jan, he finally returned home - too early - leaving all his fans shattered.
I can not but help feeling sad about his death, as it was not at all a
long time that he had spent on this land. There was much more left in him for his fans & for the music that he lived. Yet, it makes me wonder what could have been the song on his mind as he departed. Perhaps this could be the one:
Thak Gaya hoon, Mujhe Sone Do
Bahut Raat Hui
Chand se kah do Tar Jaaye
Bahut Baat hui
Aashiyan ke liye, Char tinke bhi the
Aasre raat ke, Aur din ke bhi the
Dhoondhte the jise
Who jara si zameen
Aasman ke tale
Kho gayi hai kahin
Dhoop se kah do
Utar jaye
Bahut Baat hui
Yaad aata nahin, ab koi naam se
Sab gharon ke liye
Uth gaye sham se
Waqt se kah do Guzar jaye
Bahut Baat hui
On Pancham's death anniversary, here is one of his masterpiece, from Jabbar Patel's Musafir, starring
Rekha & Naseerudiin Shah with Gulzar as lyricist. Composed on the
beats of a train, the song has Kishore Kumar at his melancholic best.
