A very poignant song from Guru Dutt’s Kaagaz Ke Phool – Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam. The film, which is considered a classic today, had failed miserably upon its release in 1959. But all the songs in it were very well received.
The song happened entirely between the lyricist, Kaifi Azmi and the music director, S.D.Burman. Burman dada first created a tune to which Kaifi Saheb wrote the lyrics. When Guru Dutt heard the song, he loved it so much that he wrote a sequence in the film just to incorporate this song. However, if one looks at the film, the sequence was so brilliantly woven into the script that it does not seem out of place at all. Waheeda Rehman looks resplendent, and Geeta Dutt’s soulful rendition only adds to the beauty of this song.
* Jayenge kahaan sujhtaa nahin
Chal pade magar raasta nahin
Kya talaash thi kuchh pata nahin
Bun rahe hain dil khwaab dam-ba-dam…*
