Ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai

Suraiyya, who was a big name singer-actor in 1940s insisted on singing only for herself. As a result, when the era of specialist playback singers dawned in 1950s, Suraiyya found few takers for her acting-cum-singing. Had she agreed to be mainly a playback singer, she could have had a long innings, but she would not sing for others.
Little wonde then that Suraiyya got to sing very few songs in 1950s and 1960s.
The last movie where Suraiyya’s voice can be heard ( along with her acting) was a 1963 movie called “Rustam Sohrab”, a C grade movie with Premnath and Mumtaz in lead roles.
This song is quite a nice song though. “Ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai” was written by Qamar Jalalabadi and the music director was Sajjad. This song is such that it can still touch the heart strings of the listeners.

Song-Ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai (Rustam Sohrab) (1963) Singer-Suraiyya, Lyrics-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-Sajjad
Lyrics
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
chhupaate chhupaate bayaan ho gayi hai
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
chhupaate chhupaate bayaan ho gayi hai
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
ye dil kaa dhadaknaa, ye nazron kaa jhuknaa
jigar mein jalan si ye saanson kaa ruknaa
Khudaa jaane kyaa daastaan ho gayi hai
chhupaate chhupaate bayaan ho gayi hai
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
bujhaa do bujhaa do,
bujhaa do sitaaron ki shammen bujhaa do
chhupaa do chhupaa do,
chhupaa do haseen chaand ko bhi chhupaa do
yahaan raushni mehmaan ho gayi hai
aaa
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
ilaahi ye toofaan hai kis balaa kaa
ke haathon se chhootaa hai daaman hayaa kaa
Khudaa ki qasam aaj dil kah rahaa hai
Khudaa ki qasam aaj dil kah rahaa hai
ki lut jaauun main naam lekar wafaa kaa
tamannaa tadap kar jawaan ho gayi hai
aaaa
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
chhupaate chhupaate bayaan ho gayi hai
ye kaisi ajab daastaan ho gayi hai
