Mujhe duniya waalon sharaabi na samjho
Posted on: January 9, 2009
Rafi has sung songs of many genres. When it came to drunkard songs, he began to sing such songs in 1960s. Most of these drunk songs tended to be sung for Raj Kumar,but he sang such songs for other actors too.
Here is one of the better known Rafi drunkard songs. This is from “Leader” and it was picturised on Dilip Kumar and Vyyjyanti Mala. Lyricist and music director for this song were that unseparable pair of Shakeel Badayuni and Naushad.
The heroine, Vyjyanti Mala seems quite pleased with the state of affairs towards the end of the song. I thought that the leading ladies of those days were supposed to look down upon drunkards.
Overall,The song is simple and elegant,and a sanitised kind of drunk song, unlike some heavy duty drunkard songs that became the norm subsequently.

Lyrics
laralalalala laralalalalala
hmm
mujhe duniyaa waalon, sharaabi na samjho
main peetaa nahin hoon, pilaayi gayi hai
jahaan bekhudi mein kadam ladkhadaaye
wahi raah mujhko dikhaayi gayi hai
nashe me hoon lekin mujhe ye khabar hai
ke is zindagi mein sabhi pee rahen hai
kisi ko mile hain chhalkte piyaale
kisiko nazar se pilaayi gayi hai
mujhe duniyaa waalon, sharaabi na samjho
main peetaa nahin hoon, pilaayi gayi hai
kisi ki jahaan me khushi ka
kisi ko nasha hai ghame zindagi ka
koyi pee raha hai lahoo aadmi ka
har ek dil me masti rachaayi gayi hai
mujhe duniyawaalon sharaabi na samjho
main peeta nahin hoon pilaayi gayi hai
zamaane ke yaaron, chalan hain niraale
yahaan tan hain ujle, magar dil hain kaale
ye duniyaa hai duniyaa yahan mar dar ke
dilon ki kharaabi chhupaayi gayi hai
mujhe duniyawaalon sharaabi na samjho
main peeta nahin hoon pilaayi gayi hai
jahaan bekhudi mein kadam ladkhadaaye
wahi raah mujhko dikhaayi gayi hai
