Leading ladies (and even leading lads, for that matter) tend to feel betrayed/ victimised in love in Hindi movies. They are typically seen complaining of bewafaai at the hands of their beloved. They would patiently wait for the beloved while the beloved himself/herself mayor may not be thinking along the same lines. They typically sing songs of melancholy, or rather Pathos (as our beeloved Mr Bharat Upadhyay would like me to describe such songs.
A few hours ago, I came across a song which is quite an antithesis to the “betrayed in love” theme. The lady here is quite upbeat. “So my beloved has betrayed me. In that case, I too have no interest in him. Let the two of us go our separate way.”-This in brief are the refreshing sentiments expressed in this song with a difference.
This song is from “Manchala”(1953). It was produced and directed by Jayant Desai. The movie had Manhar Desai, Nirupa Roy, Agha, Jeevan, Krishna Kumari etc in it.
This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.
Only the audio of this song is available. My guess is that this song was picturised on Nirupa Roy, the leading lady of this movie. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
What a lovely song. I think that this song is contains a good message to those who tend to feel betrayed in love.
Song-Ham dil apna tadpaayen kyun (Manchala)(1953) Singer-Shamshad Begam, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-Chitragupta
Lyrics
hum dil apna tadpaayen kyun
baalam ke vaaste ae
wo apne raaste chale
hum apne raaste
chanda ko jhuka len kadmon pe
hum taaron ka dil le len
chanda ko jhuka len kadmon pe
hum taaron ka dil le len
kismat ki chanchal lehron mein
khud apni naiyya khe len
apni naiyya khe len
o o o
toofaanon se ghabraayen kyun
darr jaayen kyun
ho o o
hum dil apna tadpaayen kyun
baalam ke vaaste
wo apne raaste chale
hum apne raaste
is dil pe kabhi chhaaye na khizaaan
ho o o
o o o
is dil pe kabhi chhaaye na khizaaan
ye honth sada muskaaye
panchhi ki tarah aazad rahen
shaakhon ki tarah lehraayen
shaakhon ki tarah lehraayen
kaliyon ki tarah kumhlaayen(?) kyun
murjhaayen kyun
ho o o
hum dil apna tadpaayen kyun
baalam ke vaaste
wo apne raaste chale
hum apne raaste
keh de koi jaake baalam se
hum par na kare jafaayen
keh de koi jake baalam se
hum par na kare jafaayen
majnuon ke dil thukraayengi
ab hans hans ke lailaayen
hans hans ke lailaayen
o o o
o o o
ro ro ke mare lailaayen kyun
gham khaayen kyun
o o o
hum dil apna tadpaayen kyun
baalam ke vaaste
wo apne raaste chale
hum apne raaste
