This Song merited an expLa(ta)nation

The only song from Ghulami (1985) on this blog was Zeehal-E-Muskin Makun Ba-Ranjish.

It was an Urdu line, penned by Gulzar.

As I am not well-versed in the language, I did make it a point to look its meaning up online.

The translation of the line is as follows – “Notice my poor heart. Do not look at it with enmity, because the wounds of separation have not healed yet.”

It was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Shabbir Kumar.

The song was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Today (September 3, 2019) marks the 79th birthday of the latter.
