In this article I am discussing a unique but unnoticed musical composition of famous music director of Hindi films,नौशाद अली .The film is ‘बैजू बावरा ’(1952).This film's central theme was CLASSICAL MUSIC .It had a story woven around the lives of two great musicians of our country in the sixteenth century,बैजू and तानसेन and their common Guru स्वामी हरिदास of Vrindavan.
The raagmalika has only a single line of lyrics, sung in a particular raga by मोहम्मद रफ़ी and before it a verse called 'लक्षण -गीत 'was read narrating the nature of that raaga, during the music learning sessions of Baiju Bawara from his guru Swami Haridas.
The first राग is ललित explained as:
"गौर वदन सुषमा भरण ,प्रसन्न मुख मुस्कात ।
कमल पत्र सम नेत्र से ललिता ललित सुहात ।।",
then बैजू sings राग : ललित,
” पियु पियु रे करत है पपीहा ”.
The second राग is गौड़ मल्हार ,explained by Swami Haridas as:
"गौड़- सारंग, मल्हार दोनों मिल के छेड़े तार ।
बोलत है बरखा की ये रिमझिम गाओ गौड़-मल्हार ।।",
then he sings राग : गौड़ मल्हार composition:
”रूम झूम बदरिया बरसे उन बिन मोरा जियरा तरसे....”.
The third number was in राग पूरिया , explained by Swami Ji as:
"रत्न मुकुट सर छत्र और चामर ,मुख में पान ।
राजा रूप कल्याण सी पूरिया जाती धाम।।"
followed by Baiju singing राग :पूरिया,
“ अजब तोरी प्रभु आन बान देखी.."
and learning is shown to be concluded with raag बागेश्वरी , explained by Swami Haridas Ji as :
"विद्वानों की वाणी में बस कर विजय दिलात ||
रक्त वर्ण बागेश्वरी मंद मंद मुस्कात ||"
and बैजू now sings राग : बागेश्वरी :
” हे री हे मैं कैसे घर आऊँ मितवा...”.
This film had many hit songs,therefore, specifically this short duration रागमालिका got overshadowed under their overwhelming influence and popularity.But it is really a memorable composition given by music director Naushad.

Baiju Bawra is not only a film but it teaches many lessons to be followed.
The ragas by Guru Hari das and the repeationd by Rafi Sahab are the examples of Indian classical music.
