ki sharaafat chhod di maine
muhabbat karane vaalon ka yahaan anjaam vo dekha
ki muhabbat chhod di maine
chhuda ke haath apanon se chali aai main gairon mein
pahan li ghungharuon ki phir vahi zanjeer pairon mein
main gaaoongi main naachoongi ishaaron pe sitamagaaron ke
bagaavat chhod di maine
sharaafat chhod di ...
na heera hai na moti hai na chaandi hai na sona hai
nahi qeemat koi dil ki ye mitti ka khilauna hai
meri deevaanagi dekho ki kahana maan ke dil ka
ye daulat chhod di maine
sharaafat chhod di ...
Sharafat Chhod Di Maine
Lata Mangeshkar's 'Sharafat Chhod Di Maine' stands as a quintessential example of her mastery over the romantic and melancholic strains of Hindi film music. Recorded during the golden era of Bollywood, the track exemplifies her ability to convey deep emotion through vocal nuance rather than complex instrumentation. As a leading playback singer, Mangeshkar defined the sound of the 1950s and 60s, often collaborating with composers like Naushad and K.J. Yesudas to create timeless melodies. This recording showcases her signature clarity and emotional depth, characteristic of her work in films such as 'Guide' and others from the period. The song remains a staple in her discography, celebrated for its enduring appeal and its role in establishing the standard for female vocalists in Indian cinema.
