"I was absolutely sure that the song would be a hit in Pakistan. But that it would continue to remain popular in different versions across the world is something I hadn't thought even in my wildest dreams. I even heard the song being played in shops in Mexico. This is God's gift, truly," Jahangir told Catch over phone.

Exactly thirty years after its release, the latest version of Hawa Hawa was released last week. Sung by popular singer Mika, the song - 'Boyfriend Bana De' - is part of the soundtrack of Anees Bazmee's upcoming comedy film Mubarakan, starring Anil Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz and Arjun Kapoor.

Jahangir says he has no objections to the song being used in Mubarakan in a form that is very similar to the original. However, he does add that the lyrics have been changed considerably, which makes the song seem bad. "Even though I feel they should have asked me, I will not raise objections on such matters as I am a supporter of peace between India and Pakistan," Jahangir told Catch.

The journey of this song began not in Pakistan, but Iran. Pre-revolutionary Iran had a flourishing rock-and-roll music scene, and one of its most prominent artists in the 1970s was Koroush Yaghmaei. Simply called Koroush by fans, he is hailed as the father of psychedelic rock in Iran, and is remembered as a guitarist on par with Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy Page. In 1974, he released his first major album Gol-e-Yaakh, which featured a song called 'Havar Havar' (Shout Shout).

"They made fun of it...[they] said 'hawa hawa, yeh kya bana diya'. I was very dejected after that. One day, soon after the release, my car stopped at a traffic signal and I could hear Hawa Hawa playing inside a vehicle. Soon I began hearing the song in shops, parties, everywhere. It had become a rage, beyond my expectations," Jahangir remembers fondly.

He recalls an interesting anecdote about how he had to change the lyrics of the song because of General Zia-ul-Haq. "As you would know, Pakistan was being ruled by General Zia-ul-Haq at that time, and he had a certain point of view. There was a culture of censorship. So when I was supposed to perform Hawa Hawa on Pakistan TV, the authorities told me that the line 'yaar mila dey, dildaar mila dey' is too intimate. So I had to change it to 'waada kiya tha, aik baar mila dey' while performing," Jahangir tells us.

Jahangir's song became hugely popular in India in the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time when disco music was the rage. It was extremely common in discos, restaurants, weddings, and even the dance bars of that period.

The same year as this, the song was used by Bappi Lahiri in the Sunny Deol-Dimple Kapadia starrer Aag Ka Gola. The song itself features Archana Puran Singh, Deol, and a host of dancing villains led by Prem Chopra, as well as a pensive police inspector played by Shakti Kapoor.

In 2011, Jahangir's Hawa Hawa was used in a remixed form in the movie Chaalis Chaurasi. Jahangir sang the song along with Neeraj Shridhar of Bombay Vikings fame, and the ones dancing to it in the movie include Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and Ravi Kissen.

The theme of the song is a boy's appeal to a girl's mother that her daughter goes about dating everyone except him. In that sense, Mubarakan's 'Boyfriend Bana De' has more in common with the Bangladeshi version, than Jahangir's original or even its Bollywood spin-offs, all of which were in the voice of a longing lover.
