Interpreter of Maladies

On the sentimental sideHave never done a song post ever. But that has been majorly owing to the fact that I believe music cannot be explained. The way music touches me, I can't share it with people. You need to be then, there, letting the honey melt in your ears, to feel the same. But, then, this song is special and Geeta Dutt and Hemant Kumar are two very special singers. A post to describe my regards to this composition and these singers is worth every bit of it.
This song is from a movie called Mamta. It is sung by Geeta and Hemant and the metaphors are so subtle, yet very powerful. And someday if you find this song, do listen to it, i think it has power to make even the lead hearts melt. See for yourself.
chupa lo yun dil mein pyaar mera
ke jaise mandir mein lau diye kee
tum apane charanon mein rakh lo mujh ko
tumhaare charanon ka fool hoon main
main sar jhukaye khadi hoon pritam
ke jaise mandir mein lau diye kee
ye sach hain jeena tha paap tum bin
ye paap maine kiyaa hai ab tak
magar thee man mein chavi tumhari
ke jaise mandir mein lau diye kee
fir aag birahaa kee mat lagaana
ke jal ke main raakh ho chukee hoon
ye raakh maathe par maine rakh lee
ke jaise mandir mein lau diye kee
