Tadbeer se bigdi hui, taqdeer bana le
Taqdeer bana le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Tadbeer se bigdi hui, taqdeer bana le
Taqdeer bana le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Darta hain zamaane ki nigaahon se bhala kyon
Nigaahon se bhala kyon
Darta hain zamaane ki nigaahon se bhala kyon
Nigaahon se bhala kyon
Insaaf tere saath hai, ilzaam uthha le
Ilzaam uthha le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Kya khaak woh jeena hain jo apne hi liye ho
Apne hi liye ho
Kya khaak woh jeena hain jo apne hi liye ho
Apne hi liye ho
Khud mitle kissi aur ko mitne se bacha le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Tute hue patwaar hain kashti ke toh gham kya
Haari hui baahon ko hi patwaar bana le
Patwaar bana le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Tadbeer se bigdi hui, taqdeer bana le
Taqdeer bana le
Apne pe bharosa hain toh ek daav laga le
Laga le daav laga le
Movie: Baazi (1951)
Director: Guru Dutt
Singers: Geeta Dutt
Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi
Music Composer: S D Burman
21 January 1965 is when a 35-year-old Geeta Bali succumbed to smallpox. A mother of two, she was working on a film when she contracted the disease. How many more films would we have had if she had lived? In a 10-year career, GeetaBali acted in 70 films. She reportedly came from an impoverished background — she and her family were apparently living in someone’s bathroom when she first started acting. She continued to play character roles until people finally sat up and took notice when she danced across the screen, seducing us into trying our luck at a game of chance in this beautiful song from Baazi. What followed were some starring roles.

This song is sung by her namesake, another amazing woman, Geeta Dutt. GeetaBali might not have made it to a modern-day listicle for beautiful actresses but nearly 70 years later, even through the grainy black and white film, her charm will make you crack a smile. Her co-star, Dev Anand, claimed that people went back to see the movie again only because they wanted another look at Geeta Bali in this song! Missing Geeta Bali! ~ R
