Kisi ghareeb ka ghar baadshah ne loot liyaa
Posted on: September 5, 2011
Searching for unknown songs from B grade movies is almost always a highly rewarding experience. I always discover some amazing gems ervery time I indertake this exercise.
Look what I have discovered just now ! Here is a ghazal with refreshingly original words. The only reason why this song failed to get popular was the fact that this song, along with the other songs of this movie, did not reach the audience, which was the standard fate of the music of most B grade movies.
Here is this awesome ghazal from “Darbaar” (1955). This B grade movie had the standard B grade actors like Mahipal, Chitra, Tiwari, Kammo etc in it.
This ghazal is sung by Talat Mehmood. Asad Bhopali is the lyricist and music is composed by Hansraj Bahl. It would seem to me that the collaboration of Asad Bhopali and Hansraj Bahl have left us lots and lots of forgotten gems that need to be unearthed.
Song-Kisi ghareeb ka ghar baadshah ne loot liyaa(Darbaar) (1955) Singer-Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Asad Bhopali, MD-Hansraj Bahl
Lyrics
loot liyaa
loot liyaa
aaa aaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
baadshaah ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
baadshaah ne loot liyaa
karoon main kis se gilaa
karoon main kis se gilaa
jab khudaa ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
baadshaah ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
lahoo se dil ke jalaayaa thaa
jo chiraag hamne
lahoo se dil ke jalaayaa thaa
jo chiraag hamne
usi chiraag ko
usi chiraag ko
zaalim hawaa ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
duhaai hai
arre insaaf ki duhaai hai
duhaai hai
arre insaaf ki duhaai hai
ki ek fakeer ko
ki ek fakeer ko
aalampanaah ne loot liyaa
karoon main kis se gilaa
karoon main kis se gilaa
jab khudaa ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
baadshaah ne loot liyaa
kisi gareeb kaa ghar
