Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)
kis ko khabar thhi
kis ko yaqeen thhaa
aise bhi din aayenge
haaye jeena bhi mushqil hoga aur
marne bhi na paayenge
haaye
kis ko khabar thhi
ham jaise
ham jaise barbad dilo ka aa aa aa aa
jeena kya aur marna kya
ham jaise barbad dilo ka aa aa aa aa
jeena kya aur marna kya
aaj teri mehfil se uthhe
kal duniya se uthh jaayenge
haay kis ko khabar thhi

I agree. Years ago, I had an LP titled ‘Talat in a blue mood’. Every song was ‘lajawab’!

Lovely Talat solo. I was kind of oblivious of the great music set up by SDB for Devdas. Now I am kind of re-discovering it and, I must add, thoroughly enjoying it too.

Thank you Nitin-ji. This song too, like all the others in ‘Devdas’, is a beautiful number. The melancholy, despair and brooding of Devdas has been brought out so poignantly by Talat-saab.
