Main hoon saaqi tu hai sharaabi sharaabi

Posted on: April 12, 2012


“Ram Aur Shyam” (1967) was a Vijay International Production. It was directed by Chanakya. Starcast of the movie included Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Mumtaz, Nirupa Roy, Kanhaiyalal, Nazir Hussain, Sajjan, Mukri, Amar, Leela Misra, Zebunissa, Farida, Pran etc.

The movie is full of extremely well known songs. As many as four songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is another song from the movie. This song is a Rafi Lata duet. It is picturised on Dilip Kumar and Waheeda Rehman. The picturisation shows them singing this song on a convertible car- something I one normally does not expect in a Dilip Kumar movie. I expect Dilip Kumar to be riding a bullock cart instead :). Perhaps I am confusing this movie with Ganga Jamuna which I do all the time.

The song is written by Shakeel Badayuni. Music is composed by Naushad.

Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Khyati Bhatt.

Lyrics(Provided by Khyati Bhatt)

main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi
main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi

toone aankhon se peelayi
woh nasha hai ke duhaayi
har taraf dil ke chaman mein
phool bikhare hai
gulaabi gulaabi gulaabi
main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi
main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi

ishq mein jeena sambhal ke
dil ka paimana na chhalke
behki behki teri nazren
khwaab dikhlaati hai kal ke
khwaab dikhlaati hai kal ke

teri mehfil mein o saaqi
hum chale aaye nashe mein
ab to bas ye hai tamanna
umr kat jaaye nashe mein
umr kat jaaye nashe mein
ishq hai tera sawaali
ee ee ee
ishq hai tera sawaali
husn hai mera jawaabi
jawaabi jaawabi

tu hai saaqi
main hoon sharaabi sharaabi
tu hai saaqi
main hoon sharaabi sharaabi

main teri duniya mein aake
reh gaya khud ko bhulaa ke
kya woh anjaam na jaane
ae ae
hosh ulfat mein ganwaake
bekhudi ke yeh taraane
yoonhi gaaye ja deewaane
ishq rang laayega apna
aa
aa gaye ab woh zamaane

teri mastaani yeh baatein
aa aa aa
aa aa aa

teri mastaani yeh baatein
dil pe laaye na kharaabi
kharaabi kharaabi
main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi

tune aankhon se pilaayi
woh nasha hai ke duhaayi
har taraf dil ke chaman mein
phool bikhare hain
gulaabi gulaabi gulaabi

main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi
main hoon saaqi
tu hai sharaabi sharaabi

I remember the preamble to this song. Dilip Kumar – Shyam posing as Ram – is offered some tea by Waheeda. He says tea has an odd effect on him, and sure enough, upon drinking a cup, he starts singing and romancing Waheeda.

I don’t think you are being confused about Dilip being on a bullock cart in this movie, his village wala avatar rides it. This movie sure had lovely songs.
