Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam
Posted on: June 19, 2009
There have been many movies called “aankhen” beginning from the 1950 movie of this name, to one in 1968, and then two more, one in 1990s and another in 2000s.
Personally I think that the music of “Aankhen” (1968) is the most well known of all these “Aankhen” movies.
“Aankhen” (1968) had music by Ravi and its songs were written by Sahir Ludhianvi. Here is a nice song from this movie which was sung by Lata and picturised as a party song on Mala Sinha and others.
Though a party song, and as such not meant to be a timeless classic, this song has still managed to become one, since Sahir Ludhianvi has come up with some nice philosophical observations even in a song of timepass nature like this. Such was the seriousness with which lyricists those days approached their job of lyrics writing.

Lyrics
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
rahne de abhi thodaa saa bharam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam
ham chaahnewaale hain tere, yoon hamko jalaanaa theek nahin
mahfil mein tamaashaa ban jaayen, is darjaa sataanaa theek nahin
is darjaa sataanaa theek nahin
mar jaayenge ham mit jaayenge ham
ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
ye zulm na kar
Ghairon ke thirakte shaane par, ye haath gawaaraa kaise karen
Ghairon ke thirakte shaane par, ye haath gawaaraa kaise karen
har baat gawaaraa hai lekin, ye baat gawaaraa kaise karen
ye baat gawaaraa kaise karen
tujhko teri bedardi ki kasam
ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar,
Ghairon pe karam apno pe sitam
ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
ye zulm na kar
ham bhi the tere manzoor-e-nazar, dil chaahe to ab iqraar na kar
sau teer chalaa seene pe magar, begaanon se milkar waar na kar
begaanon se milkar waar na kar
bemaut kahin mar jaayen na ham
ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar,
Ghairon pe karam apnon pe sitam, ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
rahne de abhi thodaa saa bharam,
ai jaan-e-wafaa ye zulm na kar
ye zulm na kar

Hi Atul – I heard this song earlier and came online to learn more about it. Thanks for providing some background on the song. If possible, could you provide the english translation of the lyrics? It’s a lovely song.
Thanks,
