Husn Hazir Hai Mohabbat Ki Saaza Paane Ko – Laila Majnu



Another beautiful track! And Lata jee has done a great job.

Laila Majno was released in 1976 but I haven't seen it. But I like two songs from the movie. One is of course 'Husn hazir hai' & the other one is 'Is reshmi paazzeb ki jhankar.'

I love this stanza:
'Pattharon ko bhi wafa phool bana sakti hai
Yeh tamasha bhi sar-e-aam dikha sakti hai
Lo ab pathar uthaoo
Zamane kay khudaon
Tumhe main aazamaao
Mujhay tum aazamaao
Ab dua arsh pay
Jaati hai asar laane ko.'

Of course it may seem funny when we say things like 'koi patthar say na maare mera deewane ko' & 'main taiyar hoon mit jaane ko'but this is true love. They faced innumerable obstacles. How many people can face all that & still don't abandon the person? I've met such irritating females talking about love 24/7 but God knows whether it's love or sex or just plain lust.

And the world would remain the same when they see a victim anywhere in any situation; they remain merciless as ever:
'Kyun chalay aaye ho bebas pay sitam dhaane ko.'

But there is so much pain, depth & truth in this particular line: 'Lo ab patthar uthaao zamane kay khudaon.' They are ever ready to lynch the one who is sincere. They can't stand a person who is truly loyal to another human. They make sure that he/she gets out of the picture.
