Leme write the Song in Full Plz.
Tu jo naheen hai to kuchh bhee naheen hai
Ye maana ke mehfil jawan hai haseen hai
Nigahoan mein tu hai ye dil jhoomta hai
Na janay mohabbat ki rahoan mein kya hai
Jo tu hum safar hai to kuchh gham naheen hai
Ye maana ke mehfil jawan hai haseen hai
Tu jo naheen hai to kuchh bhee naheen hai
Wo Aa yein na Aa yein jami hain nigahain
Sitaroan nay deikhi hain jhuk jhuk kay rahain
Ye dil bud gumaan hai nazar ko yaqeen hai
Ye maana kay mehfil jawan hai haseen hai
Tu jo naheen hai to kuchh bhee naheen hai
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom
The above proverb holds true to the great singer of the yesteryear, S.B. John. Sunny Benjamin John, who is popularly known as S.B. John, was born in 1934. He spend most of his life in Karachi, Pakistan.
Accompanied with his wife and two sons namely Robin and Glenn John, S.B. John used to sing gospel on Christmas Eve, on Pakistani television.
Prominent singers like S.B. John who perform it best could still be heard joyously stretching and bending notes, breaking syllables and bouncing phrases back and forth.
S.B. John started singing on Radio Pakistan Karachi as an 'A' category artist. Side by side he also made his presence felt in various functions and stage shows held in Karachi.
S.B. John also sang Janab Rana Akbar Aabadi Sahab's ghazal, 'Uray hoash us dar pay janay say pehlay.' Sohail Rana composed this ghazal at EMI Pakistan.
Around 1973, S.B. John introduced his son, Robin John, to Sohail Rana and said that he wishes to get his son a keyboard. Since young Robin remembered all his father's songs. Robin was seven or eight years of age at the time.
Fifteen years later, S.B. John again brought Robin to Sohail Rana. By that time Robin had grown up as a talented singer. Hence, Sohail Rana utilized Robin's singing talents in Pakistani television shows, and also in private songs and the film recordings.
Additionally, Robin also toured UAE, Turkey and USA with Sohail Rana and participated in the musical programs.
Nowadays, Robin lives in USA. Hopefully, his parents will join him soon.
While recording the ghazal below S.B. John might have envisioned music sweeping Pakistan:
'Kal chaudween ki raat thee, shab bhar raha churcha tera,' Poet, Ibne Insha.
Kal chaudween ki raat thee, shab bhar raha churcha tera,
kuchh nay kaha ye chand hai, kuchh nay kaha chehra tera
kal chaudween ki raat thee
hum bhee waheen maujood thay, hum say bhee sub pucha kiye
hum chup rahay, hum hans diye manzoor tha parda tera
kal chaudween ki raat thee
S.B. John's music mastery marked the undisputed triumph of the formula, exemplified best—surprise!
S.B. John achieved lofty heights through ghazals like the one below:
'teri baatain he sunanay Aaye,dost bhi dil hi dukhanay aaye' Poet, Ahmed Faraz.
Presumably, it never occurred to S.B. John that his name will become synonymous with the song below. In my minds eye, I conjure the recording of that song as vividly as I was there:
'Tu jo naheen hai to kuchh bhee naheen hai, ye mana keh mehfil jawan hai haseen,' the 1959 film 'Savera,' Music composer, Master Manzoor Hussain, lyrics, Fayyaz Hashmi, pictured on Kamal, Shamim Ara- Kamal played the lead.
Forty-seven-years down the line, this song is as much in demand as if it were recorded yesterday. Alas! To this day, no one could come up with the explanation as to what is so special about this song.
But we don't need a logical explanation. Some things should remain mysterious. The wistful magic of S.B. John is, indeed, one of them.

Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara at play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors.
During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli. The adult-figured Lilli doll was like what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a comic strip drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper Die Bild-Zeitung.
Upon her return to the United States, Handler reworked the design of the doll (with help from engineer Jack Ryan) and the doll was given a name, Barbie, after Handler's daughter Barbara. The doll made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. This date is also used as Barbie's official birthday. Mattel acquired the rights to the Bild Lilli doll in 1964 and production of Lilli was stopped. The first Barbie doll wore a black and white zebra striped swimsuit and signature topknot ponytail, and was available as either a blonde or brunette. The doll was marketed as a "Teen-age Fashion Model," with her clothes created by Mattel fashion designer Charlotte Johnson. The first Barbie dolls were manufactured in Japan, with their clothes hand-stitched by Japanese homeworkers. Around 350,000 Barbie dolls were sold during the first year of production.
Barbie was one of the first toys to have a marketing strategy based extensively on television advertising, which has been copied widely by other toys. It is estimated that over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in over 150 countries, with the well-known fact that three Barbie dolls are sold every second.
The standard range of Barbie dolls and related accessories are manufactured to approximately 1/6th scale, which is also known as playscale.
Barbie products include not only the range of dolls with their clothes and accessories, but also a huge range of Barbie branded goods such as books, fashion items and video games. Barbie has appeared in a series of animated films and makes a brief guest appearance in the 1999 film Toy Story 2.
Uniquely for a toy fashion doll, Barbie has become a cultural icon and has been given honors that are rare in the toy world. In 1974 a section of Times Square in New York City was renamed Barbie Boulevard for a week, while in 1985 the artist Andy Warhol created a painting of Barbie.
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. Barbie has been said to attend Willows High School and Manhattan International High School in New York City, based on the real-life Stuyvesant High School.
Today the Barbie line is responsible for more than 80% of Mattel's profits. Auteur : BarbieCollectors Tags: This is the first Barbie commercial that aired during Mickey Mouse Club 1959 ad advert collector high quaility vintage advertising commercials tv  |
