तस्वीर अपनी मुझको दिखा के

'Tasvir Apni Mujhko Dikha Ke' is one of the eight songs of Bahadur (1944), the Jagriti Pictures action feature directed by Master Bhagwan. The title — 'having shown me your picture (and then gone)' — carries the diction and sentiment of the Urdu film-ghazal: the beloved's image, separation, and longing. Penned by Ehsan Rizvi, an Urdu lyricist, and composed by Ram Chitalkar (C. Ramchandra).

Composed by Ram Chitalkar (C. Ramchandra) in his apprenticeship years with Bhagwan Dada. A ghazal-leaning lyric of separation like this would typically be set as a slow, lyrical melody in which sarangi and harmonium shadow the vocal line over a gentle tabla — the refined Urdu-film register that sat alongside the rhythmic folk and comic songs of a 1940s programme.
