Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh
Hum moond ke palkon ko,
Iss dil ko saza de toh
Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh
Hum moond ke palkon ko,
Iss dil ko saza de toh
Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh…
Inn zulfon mein gundhenge
Hum phool mohabbat ke
Zulfon ko jhatak kar hum,
Yeh phool gira de toh
In zulfon mein gundhenge
Hum phool mohabbat ke
Zulfon ko jhatak kar hum,
Yeh phool gira de toh
Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh…
Hum aapko khwaabon mein
La la ke sataayenge
Hum aapki aankhon se,
Neendein hi uda de toh
Hum aapko khwaabon mein
La la ke sataayenge
Hum aapki aankhon se,
Neendein hi uda de toh
Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh
Hum aapke kadmon par
Gir jayenge gash kha kar
Iss par bhi na hum apne
Aanchal ki hawa de toh
Hum aapke kadmon par
Gir jayenge gash kha kar
Iss par bhi na hum apne
Aanchal ki hawa de toh
Hum aapki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh
Hum moond ke palkon ko,
Iss dil ko saza de toh
Hum aap ki aankhon mein,
Iss dil ko basa de toh…
Movie: Pyaasa (1957)
Director: Guru Dutt
Singers: Mohammed Rafi, Geeta Dutt
Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi
Music Composer: S D Burman
Making her movie debut in 1952, Mala Sinha continued to act until at least 1994. That is a career spanning nearly five decades which is quite an achievement for any film star. Of Nepali descent, Mala Sinha lived in West Bengal and started her career as a Bengali heroine. She went on to build such a strong career for herself in the Hindi film industry that she was reportedly named first in the credits, before many male stars of the time. She took on some unconventional roles, playing an unwed mother (Dhool ka Phool) and an unfaithful wife (Gumrah) quite early on in her career.

Even in Pyaasa, she plays a young woman who gives up a dreamy but financially unstable lover (Guru Dutt) for a loveless marriage with a wealthier man (Rehman). Pyaasa’s most famous songs are probably the sadder ones. This one is a more playful number, featuring the voices of Geeta Dutt and Mohammed Rafi. I had to choose between this and ‘Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jaye’, which has some lovely lyrics. But I wanted something uplifting this week. So, here’s wishing Mala Sinha a very happy 83rd birthday (11 November) with this lovely song from Pyaasa. ~ R
