Gham Diye Mustakil Kitna Naazuk Hai Dil

Got to listen to a clip of this song while watching DDLJ and I just couldn't stop listening to it. And it took less than few moments to find it on youtube and listen to it. :) It truly is blessing.

What a beautiful song! K. L. Saigal has such a sweet voice. It sucks he left us so early.

It's funny, in the evening I was listening to "dil hai pyaare zaraa dekh to le" from Guddu (1995) and that also has Naushad's music and this one from 1946 has got the same music director. It's amazing!


gham diye mushtaqil
kitna naazuk hai dil, yeh na jaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

de uthe daag lau
unse aye maah-e-nau, keh sunaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

(dil ke haathon se daaman chhuda kar
gham ki nazron se nazren bachaa kar) (2)

uth ke woh chal diye
kehte hi reh gaye, hum fasaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

(koyi meri yeh rudaad dekhe
yeh mohabbat ki bedaad dekhe) (2)

phoonk rahaa hai jigar
pad rahaa hai magar, muskuraana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

gham diye mushtaqil
kitna naazuk hai dil, yeh na jaanaa
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana
