ae dilli kaa kutub minaar dekho
ghode pe baankaa sawaar dekho
kalakatte kaa chauragi baazaar
ghar baithe saaraa sasaar dekho
paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
ho paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
dekho re lakhanau ki ye hai bhul bhulaiyaa
dekho re lakhanau ki ye hai bhul bhulaiyaan
rastaa bhul na jaanaa chalanaa thaam ke baiyaan
paise nahi to udhaar dekho
raadhaa se kaanhaa kaa pyaar dekho
dekho himaalaa parbat hai ye
ghar baithe saaraa sasaar dekho
paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
ho paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
dekho dekho dekho baaiskop dekho
dilli kaa kutub minaar dekho
bambai sahar ki bahaar dekho
ye aagare kaa hai taajamahal
ghar baithe saaraa sasaar dekho
paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
ho paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
aai re mai aali baaiskop waali
aai re mai aali baaiskop waali
khel shuru hotaa hai bachcho bajao taali
aai re mai aali baaiskop waali
aai re mai aali baaiskop waali
khel khatam hotaa hai bachcho bajaao taali
dekho dekho dekho darapok dulhaa
waadaa karake jo bhulaa jaise saawan kaa jhulaa
kabhi idhar kabhi udhar kabhi niche kabhi upar dhat
logo kaa paise se pyaar dekho
shaadi biyaah kaa byopaar dekho
ye do dilo ko milane naa de
duniyaa ki unchi diwaar dekho
paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
ho paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
beti ik garib ki mitti kaa khilaunaa
beti ik garib ki mitti kaa khilaunaa
jag waalo ko chaahiye chaandi aur sonaa
duniyaa hai mithi kataa dekho
jaalim ye saramaayaadaar dekho
hamase garibo se sarakaar ne
maangaa dahej das hajaar dekho
paisaa pheko tamaashaa dekho
ho dekho dekho tamaashaa dekho
The magic of Mumtaz is that she grows and grows on you. Obviously, those
difficult days made her worked harder and harder till she became the toast
of the town. I remembered vividly in an interview that she didnt understand
why all the fuss about her success. However, she was gracious, thanking
those who still think of her. Very confident, selfmade lady that doesnt
need anyone to remind her where she was once. Still, any chance of one last
performance? Miss her greatly!
