Unheard 'mujra' to be released on Madan Mohan's birthday

An unheard mujra, sung by Asha Bhosle and set to tune by Madan Mohan, was released on the occasion of the composer's 87th birth anniversary today.

Hum hosh lutakar mehfil mein.., sung by Bhosle in her inimitable style, was recorded in the early 70's for a film that was never released.

The song can be heard on the musician's website, maintained by his family.
       

The legendary composer, who passed away in 1975 at the age of 51, left behind various tunes those remained unutilized.

Some of these were used as the music score of
Veer Zaara and won wide appreciation and many awards.

Many songs recorded in his lifetime remained unheard as the films were incomplete or not released.

Fifteen such songs were released in an album Tere
Bagair in 2009, to mark his 85th birth anniversary.

Bhosle sang several of Madan Mohan's songs -- memorable solos like Jhumka gira re, Saba se yeh kahdo, Ashqon se
teri humne, Koi shikwa bhi nahin and Nazar ki bijliyaan and duets like Zameen se humen aasman par, Aapko pyar chhupane ki, Tere paas aaake mera waqt and Jab jab tumhen bhulaaya.
       

Last year too, an unheard song by Bhosle Aaj ki shaam pehloo mein tu was released.
