In Hindi movies, there are songs for all occasions including songs meant to assuage the hurt feelings of the beloved. Now, how can one go about assuaging the hurt felings of one’s beloved ? The common and gentlemanly method is to say sorry. But then Hindi movie heroes (like Government employees) 🙂 can never see the errors of their ways and cannot say sorry. Even when they say sorry then do not mean it. In a railway station, one listens to the announcement saying ” The train is running late. We are sorry for the inconvenience”. The announcer hardly sounds sorry while making this announcement.
In this song, the hero does not even say sorry. From the lyrics of the song, it would seem to me that the lady, instead of feeling assuaged, should feel like salt is being rubbed to her wounds. For instance, the lyrics say
Tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
dekhe nahin jaate hain
dildaar tere aansoo
tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
the drops of your tears are pieces of my broken heart
I cannot bear to see them
Now, the drops of her tears should be equivalent to pieces of her broken heart. She is shedding tears because her heart is broken because of some act of the hero, so the hero claiming that drops of her tears = pieces of his broken heart is clearly a falsehood. 🙂
Now I know why the heroes of Hindi movies sing songs using heavy duty words like “qatre” and “”ashq” etc, instead of just saying sorry. By using such heavy duty words, that clealy goes over the head of the lady, they avoid saying sorry to her, and at the same time end up sounding apologetic to her, even when they are clearly not so.

Song-Tukde hain mere dil ke (Mere Sanam)(1965) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-O P Nayyar
Lyrics
Tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
dekhe nahin jaate hain
dildaar tere aansoo
tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
qatre nahin chhalke yeh
aankhon ke piyaalon se
moti hain muhabbat ke
in phool se gaalon pe
in phool se gaalon pe
behne nahin doonga main
bekaar tere aansoo
dekhe nahin jaate hain
dildaar tere aansoo
tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
ashkon se bharaa dekhoon
kaise teri aankhon ko
ae jaan yeh sulagtaa gham
de de meri aankhon ko
de de meri aankhon ko
palkon pe uthha loonga
sau baar tere aansoo
dekhe nahin jaate hain
dildaar tere aansoo
tukde hain mere dil ke
ae yaar tere aansoo
