This song came and went fleetingly in my memory. I just remembered that this song was from the movie ‘do badan’ and sung by mohd. Rafi. Now mohd. Rafi had sung three songs in the movie and was a bit confusing. I just remembered that Manoj Kumar in white suit,was sitting on the piano, singing the song with Asha Parekh, the heroine in the background. Then that day the song replayed on ‘masti’ channel and it clicked. Of course that’s the one. Sad, the song perfectly renders the state of one’s broken heart, of loneliness in the crowd, but this song even if melancholic, somehow is very melodious to hear. And very much like sing along types. Made in the era where music enhanced the voice and not drowning it, subtly cueing the emotions emoted by equally talented singers, that felt as if they felt what they sung, It keeps replaying and humming in the background long after heard. Made absolutely out of the world by mohd rafi, the lyrics too hold due credit and though this movie was not that noticeable, the songs were definitely gems. Written by Shakeel Badayuni and music by Ravi ,this song soon made it self at home with the ever bursting list of favorite songs along with ‘lo aa gai’ by Lata Mangeshkar from the same movie.
The lyrics are as follows:
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Mohabbat ho gayi jinko, wo deewaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya
Lagey hai shamma par pehrey, zamaane ki nigaahon ke
Lagey hai shamma par pehrey, zamaane ki nigaahon ke
Zamaane ki nigaahon ke
Jinhen jalne ki hasrat hai
Jinhen jalne ki hasrat hai, wo parwaane kahaan jaayen
Mohabbat ho gayi jinko, wo deewaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya
Sunaana bhi jinhen mushqil, chhupaana bhi jinhen mushqil
Sunaana bhi jinhen mushqil, chhupaana bhi jinhen mushqil
Chhupaana bhi jinhen mushqil
Zaraa tu hi bataa aye dil
Zaraa tu hi bataa aye dil, wo afsaane kahaan jaayen
Mohabbat ho gayi jinko, wo deewaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya
Nazar mein uljhanen dil mein, hai aalam beqaraari ka
Nazar mein uljhanen dil mein, hai aalam beqaraari ka
Hai aalam beqaraari ka
Samajh mein kuchh nahin aataa
Samajh mein kuchh nahin aataa, sukoon paane kahaan jaayen
Mohabbat ho gayi jinko, wo deewaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil ko samjhaane kahaan jaayen
Bhari duniya
