Vipan Bhai, not a piece of high class poetry or clear cut rendition, though
quite nostalgic, due to old style of singing. The word "saaf" kar daala is
not possible because qafia is chhaak, khaak,paak etc. Meri majbooriyon ne
mera daaman chaak kar daala Dubaaya mujhko, mere dil ka qissa paak kar
daala Na socha tha ke ye anjaam hoga meri hasrat ka Giri kuchh barq aisi,
dil jala ke khaak kar daala Gila kiska karen, kiski khata samjhen, kise
kosen Hisaab-e-zindagi jab humne dey ke paak kar daala

"jab hamne khud hi khaak kar daala" does not seem to sound very meaningful.
Hisaab pak karna appears better than hisaab khaak karna. If you carefully
and repeatedly listen from the point 2.57, perhaps you may make a better
judgement. As far as repetition of words, either of Paak or Khaak get
repeated, so both ways it is the same. I agree on KB's sweet voice,
passion, thrill and modulations but she did not pronounce the words very
clearly. Anyway "nasha" is there in listening to it, no doubt.

Thanks to KD's poor rendition. She has provided us a good game to play,
perhaps more interesting than chess. "khud bebaak" in the sense of
rendering life's accounts recklessly daring or bold (wasting it,etc.),
seems stretched too far in meaning. The right words in urdu are hisaab
bebaaq karna (to clear the accounts.) but bebaaq does not fit into the
"Qaafia". Again, first time she sings it differently but second time at
2.57 it seems more like I hear. Pl. search for Sanyal's ghazal. Regards.

Contd... In my very humble opinion, I heard these words as I repeated
listening through headphones multiple times - mere dil ka qissa faaq kar
daala, giree kuchh barf aisee dil jala kar khaaq kar daala,
hisaab-e-zindagi jab humne khud bebaaq kar daala (bebaaq was the most
unclear to my ears, however, I feel revealing life's accounts does make
some sense in the context of the self-reproaching expression in the
previous line). Best regards. And thanks for uploading this very old song,
Ajayji.

The preceding line expresses self-reproach rather than pinning blame on
someone else, so khaak kar daala( in the sense of destroying one's life by
one's own errors) or something else would make more sense, rather than paak
kar daala, which would mean "purified my life." I am still hearing khud hi,
rather than "dey ke" in that line. The paak or khaak repetition indeed
makes it a poor poem either way-- quite unimaginative. I hope someone will
find the authentic original text for us.( Cont'd).
