RRR Songs (Songs of Regret, Repentance and Ruefulness)
I started this new series on 17 Jan 21 on my Facebook Group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne. My efforts failed to involve people in writing their own stuff about songs and music rather than copying and pasting from here and there or worse, just sharing url of songs from YouTube. Hence, I had decided to give the group a burial that it deserved rather than making it like thousands of groups on Facebook about songs with nothing unique about them at all.
Hence this series shifted to my page Lyrical.
I hope you liked RRR Song #14: Waqt ne kiya kya hasin sitam. Here is the next song:
Song #15
Muft huye badnaam kisi se haay dil ko laga ke
Baraat – 1960 Movie
It was a movie directed by K Amarnath and starred Ajit and Shakila. Ajit had been a hero before he took up the villain’s role with such popular dialogues as “Ise liquid oxygen mein daal do; oxygen ise marne nahin dega aur liquid ise jeene nahin dega.” He had beautiful songs to his credit such as Dekho mausam kya bahar hai, Aaja ke intezaar mein, and this beautiful number.
K Amarnath had an early start in the movies. He started with movies of the silent era; his first one was the 1936 movie Matwali Jogan. He directed 37 movies in all with such names to his credit as Chashmawali in 1939, Bulbul-e-Bghdad in 1941, Mehbooba in 1954 and Kabli Khan in 1963.
“Ajit (Ajit Khan) acted as a hero in 7 of the movies directed by K.Amarnath – Beqasoor, Meharbani, Sarkaar, Bara-Dari, Bada Bhai, Baraat and Kabli Khan. In fact, it was K.Amarnath who had suggested that he change his long name of “Hamid Ali Khan” to a shorter name. The first movie with his name changed to “Ajit” was “Beqasoor” -1950.”
This Song
This song was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Chitragupt in Raag Pahadi, the raag of my place in the hills. As is with many RRR songs, it was sung by Mukesh.
First of all, lets have a look at the lyrics:
मुफ्त हुए बदनाम
किसी पे हाय दिल को लगा के
जीना हुआ इल्जाम
किसी पे हाय दिल को लगा के
मुफ्त हुए बदनाम
गए अरमान लेके
लुटे लुटे आते है
लोग जहां में कैसे
दिल को लगाते है
गए अरमान लेके
लुटे लुटे आते है
लोग जहां में कैसे
दिल को लगाते है
दिल को लगाते है
अपना बनाते है
हम तो फिर नादाँ
हम तो फिर नादाँ
किसी पे हाय दिल को लगा के
मुफ्त हुए बदनाम
समझे थे साथ भेजा
किसी का सुहाना ग़म
उसी जो नज़र को देखा
तनहा खड़े है हम
समझे थे साथ भेजा
किसी का सुहाना ग़म
उसी जो नज़र को देखा
तनहा खड़े है हम
तनहा खड़े है हम
दिल भी रहा है काम
रस्ते में हो गयी शाम
रस्ते में हो गयी शाम
किसी पे हाय दिल को लगा के
मुफ्त हुए बदनाम.
My Own Poetry
Here is my own: MUFT HUYE BADNAAM…
जिन के लिए हम हो गए बदनाम,
उन्हें याद भी नहीं हमारा नाम।
“कौन हो तुम, क्या चाहते हो?”
उनके लबों से सुना यह पयाम।
आपको आंच न आने देंगे,
दूर से ही हम करते हैं सलाम।
गलती हमने प्यार में कर ली,
कभी न सोचा था अंजाम।
पहले पता होता तो कभी न करते,
ऐसा एहसान फरामोश यह काम।
प्लीज हमें अब माफ करो जी,
इश्क़ का नहीं लेंगे कभी भी नाम।
नज़्म लिखते लिखते हो गयी,
सुबह से अब अंधेरी शाम।
रवि हमारा नाम था लेकिन,
आपने बना दिया गुमनाम।
Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Muft huye badnaam…
