Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par
Posted on: November 5, 2008
Rafi has sung hundreds of absolutely iconic songs. It is difficult to keep track of all of them. I am posting them in this blog one by one. Hopefully I will have all such songs in this blog in future. And I am sure that it is going to be a sizeable number running into hundreds, if not more.
Tis particular song viz. “Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hoga” is certainly among the immortal songs sung by Rafi.
While everyone knows that this song is sung by Rafi, contributions of the lyricist and music directors behind this song should not be forgotten either. This song was written by the amazingly versatile lyricist Rajinder Krishan and the music directors of this song from the movie “Dharti” were the amazingly prolific and successful duo of Shankar-Jaikishan.

Song- Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par (Dharti) ( 1970) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics- Rajinder Krishan, MD- Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
mere mahaboob ko kisne banaaya sochta hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
mere mahaboob ko kisne banaaya sochta hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se
musavvir khud pareshaan hai ke ye tasveer kiski hai
banogi jiski tum aisi haseen taqdeer kiski hai
kabhi wo jal rahaa hogaa, kabhi khush ho rahaa hogaa
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
mere mahaboob ko kisne banaaya sochta hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se
zamaane bhar ki masti ko nigaahon mein sametaa hai
kali se jism ko kitni bahaaron ne lapetaa hai
hua tumsa na pahle na doosra hoga
nahin tum saa koi pahle na koyi doosra hogaa
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
mere mahaboob ko kisne banaaya sochta hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se
farishte bhi yahaan raaton ko aakar ghoomte honge
jahaan rakhti ho tum paanv, jagah wo choomte honge
kisike dil pe kyaa guzri, ye wo hi jaanata hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hogaa
mere mahaboob ko kisne banaaya sochta hoga
Khuda bhi aasmaan se

Raja, after I saw this song, that was exactly what I felt, Waheeda looks really plastic and out of place.

This was one of the very early movies I remember seeing as a child.
I then saw it just a couple of years ago.
It was a pretty disappointing movie – for one big reason. The use of Waheeda Rehman.
Now we all know that Waheeda was not the typical glamour heroine. Movies like Pyaasa, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Guide…meaningful roles she had.
In this movie, she has been totally miscast and wasted.
I remember reading an interview of hers a few years ago. She said in that movie that this movie was the biggest disappointment of her career. For the same reasons I have mentioned above.
This does not however reflect on this song. Which is vintage Rafi.
