Pyar Diwana Hota Hai
Kishore Kumar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

प्यार दीवाना होता है मस्ताना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है मस्ताना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है

शमा कहे परवाने से परे चला जा
मेरी तराह जल जायेगा यहाँ नहीं आ
शमा कहे परवाने से परे चला जा
मेरी तराह जल जायेगा यहाँ नहीं आ
वो नहीं सुनता उसको जल जाना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है मस्ताना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है

सुनो किसी शायर ने ये कहा बहुत खूब
मना करे दुनिया लेकिन मेरे मेहबूब
सुनो किसी शायर ने ये कहा बहुत खूब
मना करे दुनिया लेकिन मेरे मेहबूब
वो छलक जाता है जो पैमाना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है

प्यार दीवाना होता है मस्ताना होता है
हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है

Overall Meaning

The song Pyar Diwana Hota Hai from the movie Kati Patang (1971) is a romantic number sung by the legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar.

The lyrics convey feelings of deep passion, longing, and helplessness, which make the song a universal favorite among listeners.


The song begins with "Pyar Diwana Hota Hai Mastana Hota Hai," which translates to "Love makes one crazy and carefree."

"Shama kahe parwane se pare chala ja, meri tarah jal jayega yahan nahi a" translates to "The light warns the moth to stay away as it will burn like how he burns when he is not here." The singer is seeking the love of his life and is imploring them to come back as they cannot live without them. The next verse speaks about a shayar who says that even if the world objects to their love, they cannot stay away from each other because love is like a overflowing glass that spills over naturally.

Line by Line Meaning

प्यार दीवाना होता है मस्ताना होता है
Love makes you crazy, it makes you intoxicated.


हर ख़ुशी से हर गम से बेगाना होता है
Every happiness and sorrow become insignificant in the face of love.


शमा कहे परवाने से परे चला जा
The flame tells the moth to leave, for it will burn like I do.


मेरी तराह जल जायेगा यहाँ नहीं आ
Like me, it will burn and there will be no escape.


वो नहीं सुनता उसको जल जाना होता है
But like the stubborn moth, it will not listen and will have to face the consequences.


सुनो किसी शायर ने ये कहा बहुत खूब
As a poet once beautifully said:


मना करे दुनिया लेकिन मेरे मेहबूब
The world may object, but my beloved


वो छलक जाता है जो पैमाना होता है
Is like a glass overflowing when filled with love.

The context is so soft and tender.
Asha Parekh introduces herself as Rajesh Khanna's friend's widow. Rajesh Khanna is trying to hold himself by not falling in love for a woman who has made a deep soulful connection. But he wants his feelings to be known. He has to be subtle to nurture and curate such delicate situation. He chooses poignant poetry and delivers in a melodious joyous notes.

He uses uncanny parallels in his poetry. Shama or flame burns and kills the parwana or moth alive. Yet, even knowing the inevitable the moth still let's itself be pulled into the flame to death, offering no recourse or retreat.
More parallels are made, all leading to the same outcome. Hiding feelings, can only last for sometime. It is bound to overflow and show up at one point. He is making factual appeals.

Asha Parekh's situation is different. She is embarrassed. She is guilt conscious. She is also kind, loving and trusting. She finds in Rajesh Khanna the friend and confidant, she once unknowingly had betrayed.

The connection and the possibilities are hinted or expressed, in words, gestures and with unbashfull eye contact, the only means available to send any message.

"Teri nazar ban ke zuba
Lekin tere pygam diye jaye."

But all of that had to be made with in the confines of the social boundaries of those generations.

This is Kishore Kumar's one of his best and RDs musical creativity at his peak. The composition and the rendition that seems so easy is actually extremely complex. The vibrato followed by occasional falsetto makes the movement of the tune very absorbing. This is in D major with occasional E minor that makes the melody upbeat happy with some sad interludes.

Overall, such a beautiful composition, taking a new way of appreciating.
