Deewaana mujhsa nahin is ambar ke neeche

Shammi Kapoor figured with Asha Parekh in more movie than with any other actresses. They were together when Shammi Kapoor’s star was rising, and they were together when Shammi Kapoor’s star was setting. And of course, they were together when Shammi Kapoor was at the top.
I have posted quite a few songs from “Teesri Manzil” already. Here is another song. In some ways, this song can be called a quintessential Shammi Kapoor song.
Unlike his earlier movies, this movie had seen a musical change of guard. Instead of the usual Hasrat Jaipuri- Shankar Jaikishan combination, this movie had Majrooh Sultanpuri and R D Burman. And they delivered a musical coup de grace in this movie. Just about every song from this movie became a rage.
Here is the song “deewaana mujha sa nahin is ambar ke neeche” from “Teesri Manzil”.
Song-Deewaana mujhsa nahin is ambar ke neeche (Teesri Manzil) (1966) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-R D Burman
Lyrics
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
aage hai qaatil meraa aur main peechhe-peechhe
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
aage hai qaatil meraa aur main peechhe-peechhe
paayaa hai dushman ko jab se pyaar ke qaabil
tab se ye aalam hai rastaa yaad na manzil
neend mein jaise chaltaa hai koyi
chalnaa yoon hi aankhen meenche
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
aage hai qaatil meraa aur main peechhe-peechhe
hamne bhi rakh di hain kal pe kal ki baaten
hamne bhi rakh di hain kal pe kal ki baaten
jeewan kaa haasil hai pal do pal ki baaten
do hi ghadi ko saath rahegaa
karnaa kyaa hai tanhaa jee ke
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
aage hai qaatil meraa aur main peechhe-peechhe
deewaanaa mujh saa nahin is ambar ke neeche
hmmm

There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow
From the time I have found my adversary worthy of love
From that time I have lost all track of route or destination
Like a person sleep-walking
Walking with eyes shut
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow
I have also left tomorrow’s matters for tomorrow
All you get in life is a few moments to talk
You get just a few moments of togetherness
What is the point in living alone
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow

All the songs in Teesri Manzil are so moving. It was truly amazing to have such a great movie put out at that time. Truly magic!
