The song being discussed in this post is a multiple version song. In the female version song, the lady pulls the leg of the gentleman by mocking him. In the male version of the song, the gentlleman returns the compliment.
This song is from the movie ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. Male version is sung by Mohd Rafi and the female version is sung by Asha Bhonsle. As per the song list of this movie in Geet Kosh the Asha Bhonsle version appears first (if the HFGK song list is in the order in which the songs appear in the movie) and the Rafi version happens later.
‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa’-1959, a social movie, was directed by Satish Nigam for Filmistan Limited, Bombay. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959.
The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P. Kailash, Badri Prasad, Agha, Savita Chatterjee, Lata, Sushil Kumar, Murad, Noorjahan, Narbada Shankar, Tiger (Dog), Munshi Khanjar and others. This movie has eight songs contributed by two lyricist viz. Anand Bakshi and Rahil Gorakhpuri. Both of them wrote four songs each for this movie.

Today’s song is from an obscure, social film-Deep Jalta Rahe-1959.
India has been, from the beginning, a prolific producer of films.Films have become an inseparable part of Indian people. Earlier there were other sources of entertainment like Radio, dramas, travel, Jatras, get togethrs etc. But now Entertainment means only films.
In January 2022, Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji of Jodhpur- a well known Musicologist and a collector of exclusive records- published some statistics on RMIM forum about Hindi films. According to it, the total number of Hindi films from 1931 to June 2017 (86.5 years) was 12891, giving an average of 150 films per year. The averages per decade till the year 2000 came to 134 films, but in the next 16.5 years the number of films was 208.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. I came across this movie title while browsing the ‘List-of-songs-moviewise’ on the blog during my regular browsing on the blog.
Music of this movie is composed by the genius music composer Roshan. Only two of its songs are posted on this blog. Out of curiosity, I looked at the remaining songs of this movie. I do not remember to have listened to the songs associated with this title. I was only aware of same movie title from the year 1982. I will take up the songs of this same name of eighties later.
‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’ was a social movie which was directed by Satish Nigam for ‘Filmistan Limited, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959. The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P.

ہر ایک بات پہ کہتے ہو تم کہ تو کیا ہے
تمہیں کہو کہ یہ انداز گفتگو کیا ہے
نہ شعلہ میں یہ کرشمہ نہ برق میں یہ ادا
کوئی بتاؤ کہ وہ شوخ تند خو کیا ہے
یہ رشک ہے کہ وہ ہوتا ہے ہم سخن تم سے
وگرنہ خوف بد آموزی عدو کیا ہے
چپک رہا ہے بدن پر لہو سے پیراہن
ہمارے جیب کو اب حاجت رفو کیا ہے
جلا ہے جسم جہاں دل بھی جل گیا ہوگا
کریدتے ہو جو اب راکھ جستجو کیا ہے
رگوں میں دوڑتے پھرنے کے ہم نہیں قائل
جب آنکھ ہی سے نہ ٹپکا تو پھر لہو کیا ہے
وہ چیز جس کے لیے ہم کو ہو بہشت عزیز
سوائے بادۂ گلفام مشک بو کیا ہے
پیوں شراب اگر خم بھی دیکھ لوں دو چار
یہ شیشہ و قدح و کوزہ و سبو کیا ہے
رہی نہ طاقت گفتار اور اگر ہو بھی
تو کس امید پہ کہیے کہ آرزو کیا ہے
ہوا ہے شہہ کا مصاحب پھرے ہے اتراتا
وگرنہ شہر میں غالبؔ کی آبرو کیا ہے
हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम कि तू क्या है
तुम्हीं कहो कि ये अंदाज़-ए-गुफ़्तुगू क्या है
न शो’ले में ये करिश्मा न बर्क़ में ये अदा
कोई बताओ कि वो शोख़-ए-तुंद-ख़ू क्या है
ये रश्क है कि वो होता है हम-सुख़न तुम से
वगर्ना ख़ौफ़-ए-बद-आमोज़ी-ए-अदू क्या है
चिपक रहा है बदन पर लहू से पैराहन
हमारे जैब को अब हाजत-ए-रफ़ू क्या है
जला है जिस्म जहाँ दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख जुस्तुजू क्या है
रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं क़ाइल
जब आँख ही से न टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है
वो चीज़ जिस के लिए हम को हो बहिश्त अज़ीज़
सिवाए बादा-ए-गुलफ़ाम-ए-मुश्क-बू क्या है
पियूँ शराब अगर ख़ुम भी देख लूँ दो-चार
ये शीशा ओ क़दह ओ कूज़ा ओ सुबू क्या है
रही न ताक़त-ए-गुफ़्तार और अगर हो भी
तो किस उमीद पे कहिए कि आरज़ू क्या है
हुआ है शह का मुसाहिब फिरे है इतराता
वगर्ना शहर में ‘ग़ालिब’ की आबरू क्या है
No need to say here that the above ghazal is the kalam of Mirza Ghalib. His takhallus is his signature in the last Shair. Like the painters sign at the bottom of the canvas. Newer trend here is the thumb impression, biometric is the new signature. Going back in time.
The trigger for the above ghazal is here in the last stanza of this song:
aakaash se taare toot padey
aankh se tapki jo meri daastaan

Naa to kaarwaan ki talaash hai,

Clickbait?
Not really.
The above qawwali couplet from Barsaat ki Raat (1960) is quite viral these days. This post is however on the genius music director who composed the well-known qawwali.
Roshan Lal.
I have provided the qawwali link above, so that readers can enrich their knowledge regarding the origins and making of the popular number. There are many comments by knowledge readers in the article which give a lot of information.
And, as is my habit, here is a digression.
