“Tajmahal” (1963) was a musical blockbuster and its songs had swept classes and masses off their feet in 1963. This movie was the pinnacle of Roshan’s career. In fact, 1963 was a year in which Roshan was at the peak of his career. Several of his movies released this year were musical blockbusters.

Here is one of the “lesser” known songs from this movie. By that I mean that this song is lesser known to me. In fact, I first heard this song just today !

This song is sung by Lata and it is written by Sahir Ludhianvi. This song is picturised on Bina Rai, Pradeep Kumar and others.

Song-zurme ulfat pe hamen log sazaa dete hain ( Tajmahal) (1963) Singer-Lata, Lyrics- Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-Roshan

Lyrics

aaa aaa
jurm-e-ulfat pe hamen log sazaa dete hain
jurm-e-ulfat pe hamen log sazaa dete hain
kaise naadaan hain, sholon ko hawaa dete hain
kaise naadaan hain

hamse deewaane kahin tar ke wafaa karte hain
hamse deewaane kahin tar ke wafaa karte hain
jaan jaaye ke rahe baat nibhaa dete hain
jaan jaaye

takht kyaa cheez hai aur laal-o-jawaahar kyaa hai
takht kyaa cheez hai aur laal-o-jawaahar kyaa hai
ishq waale to khudaayi bhi lutaa dete hain
ishq waale

hamne dil de bhi diyaa ahad-e-wafaa le bhi liyaa
hamne dil de bhi diyaa ahad-e-wafaa le bhi liyaa
aap ab shauk se deden jo sazaa dete hain
jurm-e-ulfat pe hamen log sazaa dete hain
