Ye duniya bewafaai ki
Posted on: September 23, 2012
Today (23 september) is the death anniversary of Rajinder Krishan, an underestimated lyricist but who in reality dominated lyrics writing during the golden era of Hindi movie music. Among all the lyricists figuring in this blog, Rajinder Krishan has the second highest number of songs (554), behind Majrooh Sultanpuri (582).
Rajinder Krishan was an allrounder and in addition to writing lyrics, he has written screenplays as well. He was proficient not only in Hindi/Urdu but also Tamil ! That enabled him to find work in South Indian movies as well. In fact, he alongwith C Ramchandra were popular with South Indian producers willing to make Hindi movies, because both Rajinder Krishan and C Ramchandra were professionals unlike many other moody artists in Hindi movies.
Despite being a giant (invisible though) in Hindi movie lyrics writing, enough accurate information is not available about Rajinder Krishan. Many well known sites have incomplete as well as incorrect information about him. His date of birth in inaccurate in these sites and these sites think that Rajinder Krishan is still around.
On the occasion of Rajinder Krishan’s 25th death anniversary (he died in 1987), here is a song from “Madhubala” (1950). This movie was a Ranjit Movietone production. It was directed by Prahlad Dutt. The movie had Dev Anand, Madhubala, Manju, Jeevan, Randhir, Ramesh Talwar etc in it.
This song is sung by G M Durrani. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Pt Lachchiram.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Mr Sadanand Kamath.

Lyrics(Provided by Sadanand Kamath)
ye duniyaa bewafaai ki
wafaa ka raaz kyaa jaane
ye duniyaa bewafaai ki
wafaa ka raaz kyaa jaane
jafaa ki jisko aadat ho
wo ye andaaz kyaa jaane
jafaa ki jisko aadat ho
wo ye andaaz kyaa jaane
wafaa karte hain jo un par
jafaa hoti hi rehti hai
zamaane mein sitam lekin
mohabbat ruske sehti hai
mohabbat ho agar sachhi to
mit kar bhi ye kehati hai
ae ae ae
ye duniyaa bewafaai ki
wafaa ka raaz kyaa jaane
jafaa ki jisko aadat ho
wo ye andaaz kyaa jaane
wo dil jisme mohabbat ho
use duniyaa mitaati hai
mohabbat jab tadapti hai
to duniyaa musukuraati hai
tadapte dil se bhi lekin
yehi awaaz aati hai
ye duniyaa bewafaai ki
wafaa ka raaz kyaa jaane
jafaa ki jisko aadat ho
wo ye andaaz kyaa jaane
jafaa ki jisko aadat ho
wo ye andaaz kyaa jaane
ye duniyaa
