Fantastic and sensitive song from a great movie.
Excellent post. Dharmendra was awesome in this role.

Thanks for sharing

RealMusicKing on July 23, 2010
Hello Yuan and thank you for the lovely gem. A very meaningful song. All songs were excellent. One of the last movies of Roshan before he passed away. Roshan died in 1967 by choking on liquor at a dinner party hosted by Shankar Jaikishan.

yuanyuanyuanyin on July 23, 2010
- However Wikipedia says ".Roshan had been suffering from chronic heart trouble for over 20 years. He died of a heart attack in Bombay, Maharashtra,.."
Thank you.

Deepak S on July 23, 2010
Thanks for the detailed commentary.

RealMusicKing on July 23, 2010
Quite possible that he had a heart attack while choking.

yuanyuanyuanyin on July 25, 2010
- As I have mentioned in the description section, that is what the Wikipedia says about his death.

I am not sure about this but Lata may have gone to the States WITH Mukesh and when he died there, she must have ACCOMPANIED the remains when brought back to India.

It does not necessarily mean that Indian Government remain a bystander. Since he was a NATIONAL ASSET, The Government MUST have done the needful to bring back the remains,
Can someone enlighten us, please?
Thank you.

yuanyuanyuanyin on July 26, 2010
- Thank you.
Here, It is my "responsibility" to clear any doubts regarding anything what I have taken from Wikipedia, specially with regard to such "sensitive issues".

Also I am very much aware that I am "dealing" with most sensitive friends from OUR Subcontinent and again it is my "duty" to act "diplomatically", to "defuse" any "tense situations"!

However, I strongly BELIEVE what I have said in last para, with regard to the Indian Gvt involvement.
Thank you, my dear friend.

yuanyuanyuanyin on July 28, 2010
- You are my dear friend, most welcome, not only in this issue [this is not an "issue" at all, by the way! LOL] but in any other matters, where I CAN help, as you know by now!

I will write a reply to your letter as soon as possible when the time permits.
Thank you and take care.

Mukesh ji did great with this song.

RealMusicKing on August 15, 2010
1)Hello Yuan and others. Firstly, Devan Verma is the Late Ashok Kumar's son in law. Now, the main issue of Mukesh. He died in Detroit, MI USA. When he was in Washington, DC late at night, he would ask the sponsors to bring hard liquor for him and they did so. Mukesh was very fond of hard liquor and that pretty much took his life. As far as bringing him back to India, I think that was the appropriate thing to do since was a born Indian and everyone would've wanted him there when he passed on.

RealMusicKing on August 15, 2010
2) As to picking up his fare going back to India. Well, singers / artistes and sponsors(2 types) work out deals before even leaving home base. Once the agreements are signed, than they began their tours. It includes, their airfare, lodging, food and some sight seeing etc etc. Plus, there are/were thousands of loyal fans standing by with their hearts & homes open..mainly for the creme de la creme Lata, Rafi, Mukesh, Talat and few others. I have seen with my own eyes, fans opening their wallets &

RealMusicKing on August 15, 2010
4) And finally, Engleesssssssssssh is not my Langwich and I've never been to India. LOL.

nawabshaukat on August 15, 2010

RealMusicKing on August 15, 2010
@Sameer691000. Lol. Engleesh part was being a bit jolly. Claiming to be "RealMusicKing"? I have to be. How come you being / living in India couldn't declare yourself as "RealMusicKing"? Lol. I have claimed to be "RealMusicKing" just as you can mail me your comments without using a stamped envelope via postal service. Or Yuan can keep uploading her songs without even speaking Indian language. Right? Lol.

Sameer ya azizi. Inta kallim arabi? Aiwa? La? Kallim kiteer o kallim shuaya?

As long as it was not due to the blubbler of the little fat boy, Randhir Kapoor in the film that enhanced the brain function. LOL.

@globescape Raqeeb means dushman and Kaasid means messenger.

MrPartha56 on February 28, 2012
One of the excellent Roshan compositions set on 5x2 jhump taal. See how the
flute also sings with Mukesh and how well Mukesh jee expresses the emotions
contained in the lyric with extra ordinary ability and pure and chase
pronunciation of Urdu words. Hey Mukesh jee was a conneissuer of Urdu
Poetry since his teens at Delhi and so he imbibed the true spirit of the
Urdu language--its richness and its beauty and its majesty--equally. Though
not classically trained his voice does the magic.

MrPartha56 on February 28, 2012
Sorry in my previous comment the word chase should be read as chaste--its
was typographical mistake.

MrPartha56 on February 28, 2012
Waw!!!Khata ho gayee hai yeh kaasid mere--tere haath paigham kyun
dediya?--wah wah--who can write lyrics like this these days to express the
anguish at the traitor in love.

MrPartha56 on February 28, 2012
Dear Pravirpant--please confirm the lyrics by Anand Bakshi! Please! I ask
because Anand Bakshi saab never uses such strong Urdu words in his lyrics.
Please verify and confirm!

Kersi Maya Mistry on March 03, 2012
This is indeed Anand Bakshi. He surprised me, too, with this fine, fine
poem.

ashojon on July 01, 2012
Please, what raaga is this song based on

ashojon on July 01, 2012
One question more please. I have searched for jhump taal, I could not find
any information. Which taal is used in this song?

2gautamc on August 16, 2012
RE
MAN PROPOSES AND GOD DISPOSES.
HE HE HE
LOV U DUDE
HARE KRSNA

ashojon on August 18, 2012
Please, hich taal is used in this song?

Haq Karish on December 28, 2012
Deven Verma is the Qasid( messenger) as he goes to see Sharmila on behalf
of Dharmendra. Deven is enamoured by the beauty of Sharmila and cheats
Dharmnedra, and gets himself married to her by deceit. So he becomes
Raqeeb(rival). The wordings of the song reveal the feeling of Dharmendra
when he comes to know about this backstabbing by his childhood friend !

htgajjar on April 21, 2013
