Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye

Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye
Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye

Dekhiye woh kaali kaali badliyaan
Zulf ki ghata chura na le kahin
Chori chori aake shokh bijliyaan
Aapki ada chura na le kahin
Yun kadam akele na aagey badhaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye
Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye

Dekhiye gulaab ki woh daaliyaan
Badh ke chum le na aapke kadam
Dekhiye gulaab ki woh daaliyaan
Badh ke chum le na aapke kadam
Khoye khoye bhanwre bhi hain baag mein
Koi aapko bana na le sanam
Behki behki nazron se khud ko bachaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye
Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye

Zindagi ke raaste ajeeb hain
Inn mein is tarah chala na kijiye
Khair hain issi mein apki huzur
Apna koi saathi dhundh lijiye
Sun ke dil ki baat yun na muskuraaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye
Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye

Bekaraar karke humein yun na jaaiye
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye

Movie: Bees Saal Baad (1962)
Director: Biren Nag
Singer: Hemant Kumar
Lyricist: Shakeel Badayuni
Music Composer: Hemant Kumar

As producer, Hemant Kumar or Hemanta Mukherjee must have saved some money on this film. He didn’t have to pay the male playback singer or the music composer, two roles he performed himself. To commemorate his birthday (June 16), I wanted to feature a song where he both sang and composed music and I stumbled upon this one. It's from a movie for which he dons a third hat too, that of producer. What talent some people have! Hemantda, may his voice and his music continue to enchant… ~ R
