This is an old PTV drama. I forgot its name (probably “Saat Samundar” or something). It had Sahira Kazmi in it. It was a very nice play. What I do remember is this famous song that was the theme of the drama (see below). Song was sung by Nayyara Noor.
Can anyone help in identifying this drama? Also, is it available (long shot!) any where on the web for viewing or download?
Poem:
***Kabhi ham khoobsoorat thay
Kitaabon main basi khushbu ki maanind saans saakin thee
Bohat say ankahay lafzon say tasveerain banatay thay
Parindon kay paron per nazm likh ker,
door ki jheelon main basnain waalay logon ko sunaatay thay
Jo ham say door thay laikin, hamaray paas rehtay thay
Naye din ki musaafat jab kiran kay saath,
angan main utartee thee
Tu ham kehtay thay
“Ammi, titlion kay per bohat hee khoobsoorat hain”
Hamain maathay pey bosa do,kay ham ko, titlion kay,jugnuon kay
des jaana hai
hamain rangon kay jugnoo,roshni ki titlian aawaz detee hain
Naye din ki musaafat rang main
doobi hawa kay saath khirki say bulaati hai
Hamain maathay pay bosa do…***
It's not saat samundar. It's Teesra Kinara. Directed by Shahzad Khalil.Starring Sahira and Rahat kamzi, Shafi Mohammad, Usman Perzaada, Saba Pervaiz and others.
Faisal…in terms of Rahat Kazmi himself; this was THE serial that he really enjoyed being directed by (marhoom) Shahzi Khalil…after his first blockbuster from Rawalpindi “QURBATAIN AUR FAASLAY” which brought him and Saira close that they are a happily married couple today with their son Ali Kazmi a wonder-star and daughter Nida…having done “Mehrun’Nissa” on PTV oop: Adnan Siddiqui..some years back!
One of the major character of TEESRA KINARA was BADI’UZ’ZAMAN who is settled in UK past decades now…and what an artiste he was!
