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

Do Nainaa Matwaare Tihaare

What I like about this song is that there are imperfections yet it's so perfect. I adore some of KL Saigal's songs, this being one of them, also picturized on himself.

It is quite sad so many good male singers of HFM have died so young. KLS being one of them too. Such a great loss. :(


(do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare
hum par zulm kare) (2)

nainon mein rahe to sudh-budh khoye (2)
chhupe to (2) chain hare
do nainaa (2) matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)
tan tan ke chalaaye teer
nas nas mein (2) uthaaye peer
tan tan ke chalaaye teer
nas nas mein uthaaye peer
madbhare rasile nithor bade na dare na dheer dhare
do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)

jab hoti ho (2) tum us paar
man ki (2) beena ke baj uthate hai zor zor se taar (2)
paas aaye (2) to aise bhool gaye
pal chhin mein (2) sab kuchh bhool gaye
paas aaye to aise bhool gaye
pal chhin mein sab kuchh bhool gaye
khushiyon ke sote ubal pade har ang pe rang bhare
do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)
