Maasoom Chehra Yeh Qaatil Adaayen

I had wanted to see this song so badly ever since UKM shared this song a few years ago. Two years back I was fortunate enough to get the DVD of the movie from India. Thanks to Ma! I finally got to watch the song and listen to it at the same time.

SJ music is so wonderful; it always pleases your ears. Hasrat Jaipuri's lyrics are mesmerizing, and his use of adjectives romanticize the song even more. Listening to the song you can tell Mohd. Rafi has sung this one just for Shammi Kapoor, and Lata's voice suits Mala Sinha perfectly on screen. The picturization is also fun to watch. Shammi Kapoor and Mala Sinha make a beautiful pair together. *sigh* too bad they don't make such songs these days. For some unknown reason, the song is comparatively less famous than other numbers from this film. Another thing that makes this song very appealing is the Raag Bhimpalasi. Never heard any other song that's sounds so wonderful to ears that's based on this same raag.


MR: मासूम चेहरा येह कातिल अदाएं
के बेमौत मारे गए हम बेचारे

LM: सागर से गेहरी तुम्हारी निगाहें
डूबो दे ना हम को येह लाकर कनारे
सागर से गेहरी

MR: (हुआ सामना क्या के सौ तीर खाए
अजब तीर थे वोह नज़र भी ना आये) (२)
क्या हम पे गुजरी तुम्हे क्या बताये
के बेमौत मारे गए हम बेचारे

LM: सागर से गेहरी तुम्हारी निगाहें
डूबो दे ना हम को येह लाकर कनारे
सागर से गेहरी

(मोहब्बत कि उन्चायी पर आ चुके हम
के अब राह कि धूल है दोनो आलम) (२)
मगर केह रही है येह दिल कि सदायें
डूबो दे ना हम को येह लाकर कनारे

MR: मासूम चेहरा येह कातिल अदाएं
के बेमौत मारे गए हम बेचारे
मासूम चेहरा

(दिया ज़ख्म तुमने बड़ा ख़ूबसूरत
लिया दाग हमने बड़ा ख़ूबसूरत) (२)
सलामत रहे आप की येह जफाएं
के बेमौत मारे गए हम बेचारे

LM: सागर से गेहरी तुम्हारी निगाहें
डूबो दे ना हम को येह लाकर कनारे

MR: मासूम चेहरा

A truly romantic song. Those who had fallen in love would alone appreciate the appeal embodied by the lyrics, musical composition and the vocal rendition dipped in fervent glamour for one's beloved. The pair of hero and heroine is excellent. Mala Sinha looks at her best. Rafi Sahab Ji excels the female performer. I think she must be Suman Kalyanpur, though the record shows name of Lata Mangeshkar. It is quite possible, because,it had happened many times. An inspiring piece of a performing art.A great, great, great song.

Love this song. One could teach young students Raga Bhimpalasi based on this one song. Jhap tal (10 beats) adds a special touch.
