अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
मुझे न छेड सनम
मुझे न छेड सनम
हाय मुझे न छेड सनम
मर गयी मैं तेरी कसम
मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
मेरी आँखें नहीं मस्ति
के ये मैखाने हैं
इन में छलके हुए कुछ
प्यार के पैमाने हैं
मेरी आँखें नहीं मस्ति
के ये मैखाने हैं
इन में छलके हुए कुछ
प्यार के पैमाने हैं
होश का नाम न ले
देख इलज़ाम न ले
होश का नाम न ले
देख इलज़ाम न ले
आ मेरी आँखों से पी
हाथ में जाम न ले
आज जी भरके मोहब्बत
में बहकने दे कदम
मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
ना ना ओ मेरी जान
अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
बेख़ुदी ने तुझे मस्ताना बना डाला है
मुझको भी प्यार ने दीवाना बना डाला है
बेख़ुदी ने तुझे मस्ताना बना डाला है
मुझको भी प्यार ने दीवाना बना डाला है
तू है मदहोश उधर
मैं हूँ बेताब इधर
तू है मदहोश उधर
मैं हूँ बेताब इधर
न मुझे अपना पता
न तुझे अपनी खबर
ज़िन्दगी भर ये मोहब्बत
का नशा होगा न कम
मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
ना ना ओ मेरी जान
अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
मुझे ना छेड सनम
मुझे ना छेड सनम
हाय मुझे ना छेड सनम
मर गयी मैं तेरी कसम
मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
अच्छा नहीं इतना सितम
मेरी जान
The song "Palat Meri Jaan" is a beautiful expression of love, desire, and heartbreak. The lyrics reveal the intense emotions of the singer who is deeply in love with her lover. The first stanza talks about how the singer has been treated with too much cruelty for too long by her lover. She begs him not to torture her anymore and swears on his name that she will die if he continues to treat her this way. The second stanza talks about how the singer's eyes are drunk with love and how she sees love everywhere around her. She confesses that she is completely in love with her lover and begs him to indulge her passion. The third stanza talks about how love has made the singer and her lover into crazy beings, blind to their surroundings and completely insane for each other. The singer wonders if this love-induced madness will ever fade away from their lives, but she knows that it won't because their love is too strong to be contained.

The facial expressions and body movements of this lady is simply awesome. No one else can emote so much with such naughtiness. My salute to Bimla Devi. Rahman has immersed himself in the role of a jameendar. He doesn't look like himself anymore.. words just fail to express my feelings
@syedfazalahmed4338
What an acting by Rehman. Totally immersed in the role. Excellent lyrics by Shakil , classical music and of course great picturisation,
@khanijray8390
Asha Bhosle's voice in this song was superb , so was Hemanta Mukherjee's music.
