Maasoom chehraa ye qaatil adaayen
Posted on: November 2, 2010
I have not discussed a Shammi Kapoor style song in this blog for quite some time. No, it is not because I have run out of such songs. There are still many such songs that are yet to be covered.
In addition to discussing the remaining Shammi Kapoor songs, I need to count the number of such songs as well. I am sure that theis count will run into around 150 songs at least.
Here is a song from “Dil Tera Deewaana”(1962). In this movie, Shammi Kapoor was paired with Mala Sinha, and to my mind, Shammi Kapoor’s pairing with ladies closer to his age (Mala Sinha, Vyjyanti Mala,Ameeta) looked much better matched than his pairings with ladies half his age. In this movie and in this song, for instance, one can notice the great chemistry between the duo.
Here is this superb song from “Dil Tera Deewaana” (1962). It is a duet sung by Rafi and Lata. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.
Song-Maasoom chehra ye qaatil adaayen (Dil Tera Deewaana) (1962) Singers-Rafi,Lata, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
maasoom chehraa ye qaatil adaayen
ke be-maut maare gaye ham bechaare
saagar se gahri tumhaari nigaahein
dubo de na hamko ye laakar kinaare
saagar se gahri
huaa saamnaa kyaa ke sau teer khaaye
ajab teer thhey wo nazar bhi na aaye
huaa saamnaa kyaa ke sau teer khaaye
ajab teer thhey wo nazar bhi na aaye
kyaa ham pe guzri
tumhen kyaa bataayen
ke be-maut maare gaye ham bechaare
saagar se gahri tumhaari nigaahein
dubo de na hamko ye laakar kinaare
saagar se gahri
muhabbat ki unchaayi par aa chuke ham
ke ab raah ke phool hain dono aalam
muhabbat ki unchaayi par aa chuke ham
ke ab raah ke phool hain dono aalam
magar kah rahi hai
ye dil ki sadaayen
dubo de na hamko ye laakar kinaare
maasoom chehraa ye qaatil adaaye
ke be-maut maare gaye ham bechaare
maasoom chehraa
diya zakhm toone badaa khoobsoorat
liyaa daag hamne badaa khoobsoorat
diya zakhm toone badaa khoobsoorat
liyaa daag hamne badaa khoobsoorat
salaamat rahe aapki ye zaphaayen
ke be-maut maare gaye ham bechaare
saagar se gahri tumhaari nigaahen
dubo de na hamko ye laakar kinaare
maasoom chehraa

I like this song a lot.
I remember seeing this movie many years ago as a young boy – this song immediately appealed to me even then.
