The song:
अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठाकर
घूंट चांदनी पी है हमने
बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने
कैसे इसका क़र्ज़ चुकाये
मांग के अपनी मौत के हाथों
उम्र की चोली सी है हमने
बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने
अपना इस में कुछ भी नहीं है
रोज़-ए-अज़ल से उसकी अमानत
उसको वही तो दी है हमने
बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने

The poem:
अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठाकर
एक घूंट चांदनी पी है हमने
हमने आज ये दुनिया बेची
और ये दिन खरीद के लाये
बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने
सपनों का इक थान बुना था
गज एक कपडा फाड़ लिया
और उम्र की चोली सी है हमने
कैसे इसका क़र्ज़ चुकाये
मांग के अपनी मौत के हाथों
ये जो ज़िन्दगी ली है हमने

🎯u said it to the point. Thx. One count added to ur fan_club. One thing - perhaps this has some relevance to the unrealized relationship with Sahir ji that Amruta ji strived for....great souls.

In this insightful KZbin video, you beautifully explain the deeper meaning behind the film song by exploring the original poem and how its structure was adjusted for the film. Your passion for poetry and music shines through as you clearly and engagingly highlight the poet's rebellious thoughts and the subtle nuances in each stanza. The video is well-structured, balancing the discussion between the poem and its cinematic adaptation. Your thoughtful commentary, along with the visuals of the texts, enhances the viewing experience. Overall, your video is a must-watch for anyone interested in literature and music. Highly recommended for those looking to explore the layers of meaning in their favorite songs. ..Deepak Wani

खूप सुरेख पण तेवढेच अवघड गाणे.... काही वेळेला एखादे गाणे खूप स्पर्शून जाते, प्रत्येक शब्दाचा, भावाचा अर्थ कळतोच असे नसते तसे ह्या गाण्याचे झाले होते.... खूप छान सांगितले आहेस.
