Umrao Jaan – 2006 – A Foreword Song Lyrics

Umrao Jaan was another attempt to recreate the story of the famous Lucknow-based courtesan from a novel by Mirza Hadi Ruswa. The film was produced and directed by J. P. Dutta and starred Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles. The film was compared with the 1981 classic film in which Rekha dazzled in all disciplines. This very comparison proved a debacle for it since the critics, and audience could not forget the previous film.

Lyrics

Unnisvee sadee kaa lakhanau
Hindustan kee ganga jamuni lehjib kaa gehawaara tha
Lakhanau usa lehjib kaa dil tha
Aur us dil kee dhadakan thee umarao jaan ada
Magar sitam yeh ke uss dhadkan ke sine me bhee ek dhadkata huwa dil tha
Jisakee aawaaj usake jitejee kisine nahee sunee
Umarao jaan kee har ghajal unhee dhadakano kee sada hai
Usee dil kee pukaar hai
