Lyrics :-
beraham aasmaan
meri manzil bataa hai kahaan
beraham aasmaan
jo na sochaa thaa wo ho gayaa
kyun naseebaa meraa so gayaa
gham ki aisi ghataa chhaa gayi
chain dil kaa kahin kho gayaa
ye bataa
kis liye
le rahaa hai meraa imtihaan
beraham aasmaan
bujh gayaa hai ye dil is tarah
chaand pichhle pahar jis tarah
itni taareekeeyon mein bataa
raah dhoondhe koi kis tarah
kho gayin
manzilen
ho gayaa gum kahin kaarwaan
beraham aasmaan
jaa rahe hain na jaane kidhar
dekh sakti nahin kuchh nazar
chhod di naav manjhdhaar mein
kis kinaare lage kyaa khabar
kyaa karen door tak
roshai kaa nahin hai nishaan
beraham aasmaan
meri manzil bataa hai kahaan
beraham aasmaan
mujhse qismat ne dhokhaa kiyaa
har qadam par nayaa gham diyaa
hai khushi ki qasam ke yahaan
chain kaa saans tak na liyaa
bujh gayaa
dil meraa
raas aayaa na teraa jahaan
beraham aasmaan
meri manzil bataa hai kahaan
teri duniyaa mein yoon ham jiye
aansuon ke samundar piye
dil mein shiqwe tadapte rahe
honth lekin hameshaa siye
kab talaq
ham rahen
teri duniyaa mein yoon bezubaan
beraham aasmaan
meri manzil bataa hai kahaan
ab koi bhi tamannaa nahin
ab yahaan ham ko jeenaa nahin
zindagi ab tere jaam se
ek qatraa bhi peenaa nahin
maut ko
bhej ke
khatm kar de meri dastaan
beraham aasmaan
meri manzil bataa hai kahaan..
Meena Kumari (1 August 1932 -- 31 March 1972), born Mahjabeen Bano, was an Indian movie actress and poetess. She is regarded as one of the most prominent actresses to have appeared on the screens of Hindi Cinema. During a career spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than ninety films, many of which have achieved classic and cult status today.
Menna Kumari's real name was Mahjabeen. She was forced to act in the movies since she was 7 years of age. She didn't want to work in the movies but her father Ali Baksh didn't think so, he forced her to work in movies. She wanted to go to school like other girls, but was not allowed to do so. She soon became the breadwinner for her family.
She worked in several movies since then but got the actual fame from the film Baiju Banwara. She became the first actress to win a Filmfare award. Then in 1952 she fell in love with Kamal Amrohi, who was 15 year elder to her and was already married.
She at that time too expressed her feelings in poetry she wrote
"Dil saa jab saathi paya
Bechaini bhi woh saath le aaya"
Then they produced a film Daera which was based on their love story. They also planned of yet another movie that was Pakeezah but it took 16 long years to reach the silver screen. You all might have seen the song Inhi logo ne in color but the song originally was shot in black and white and thereafter it was re-shot in color.
Then differences between Amrohi and Meena Kumari kept on increasing as they both were of strong personality. Amrohi didn't want a child from Meena Kumari as she was not a Syed and she raised Amrohi's son. But the differences between them, ended only when they both got divorced in 1964.
Meena Kumari was not able to take the separation lightly she really suffered after that she expressed her feelings in poetry stating that
"Talaaq to de rahay ho Nazar-e-qehar ke saath
Jawani bhi meri lauta do Mehar ke saath"
She started to drink, she was so addicted to drinking that she took whisky even to the sets in a Detol bottle. Then many actors came in her life like Dharmendra,Gulzaar & Pradeep Kumar. Amrohi couldn't really take it he abused her for her relationships with other actors. He even spied on her, she really got fed of all these activities done by Amrohi and one day in front of the detective send by Amrohi to spy on Meena Kumari, she hugged Gulzaar and expressed her love for him.
Amrohi was really annoyed by the whole sequence. Kamal Amrohi had space for Meena Kumari in his films but had no space for her in his life. In the mean time, she got more and more addicted to alcohol. At last Pakeezaah released people really got crazy to see their tragedy queen in the movie.
Three weeks after the movie was released she died of liver Cancer, it is said that her financial condition was so poor at that time, that she was not even able to pay the bills of the nursing home in which she was admitted.It's said that when she was dying Kamaal was there with her.
This is how a great Tragedy queen died and we lost a great super star.
At this point we remember one of the sayings from Meena Kumari
"Tum kya karo ge sun kar mujh se meri kahani
Be lutf zindagi ke qissay hain pheekay pheekay"
