This weekend also , I am continuing with the series on Lyricist of Hindi film songs. Last week I wrote about Shailendra and this week I am writing about Hasrat Jaipuri, who along with Shailendra and Composer duo Shankar Jaikishan formed a deadly combination and gave the best compositions in Hindi film music. It has been often said that Shailendra used to write philosphical, sad and slow romantic songs, while Hasrat Jaipuri was more expert in writing fast and peppy songs, light romantic songs and other fun numbers. But often they used to write the songs which might have been others expertise. As Shailendra worked with other composers, Hasrat Jaipuri also worked with many composers other than Shankar Jaikishan and gave many hit songs. In reality Hasrat was complete as lyricist and whenever given opportunity he excelled in all types of songs.

Friends I hope you enjoyed going through this list of songs penned by Hasrat Jaipuri. While doing my selection I found out that he had many hit songs, and my initial list was for 100+ songs, and from there to curtail the list to 30+ songs was really a difficult task. I could have selected all 30+ songs composed by Shankar Jaikishan, but in the end I decided to include the songs of other composers also and left some of hit numbers composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
