ham bekhudee me tum ko pukare chale gaye, ham
ham bekhudee me tum ko pukare chale gaye

The lyrics of Mohammed Rafi's song Hum Bekhudi Mein Tun Ko Pukare Chale Gaye express the idea of intoxication, both in its literal and metaphorical sense. The singer describes how they became intoxicated and went on a journey in a state of "bekhudi," or lack of self-awareness. They refer to their companion as "tum," which could be interpreted as a lover or friend that they are inviting to be intoxicated with them, to forget themselves and their worries, and to embark on a carefree, exhilarating adventure.
The singer also mentions the ocean or "sagar," which could symbolize the vastness of life and the unknown aspects of existence. They describe how they descended into the ocean, possibly meaning that they explored the depths of their own psyche, or confronted difficult emotions and situations. Despite the risks and challenges, the singer remains unafraid and encourages their companion to join them in this exploration.
The lyrics of Hum Bekhudi Mein Tun Ko Pukare Chale Gaye are rich in imagery and suggest multiple interpretations. They reflect a desire to escape from mundane reality and discover something deeper and more meaningful. The song also has a nostalgic, almost melancholic tone that suggests the singer may be reflecting on a past experience rather than living it in the present. Overall, the message of the song seems to be that life is a journey of discovery and that it is okay to get lost and be fearless in the pursuit of one's passions and desires.

Why is that he has to be best? Can't you just enjoy the song and his voice without bringing others into it?
@MOHAMMEDIQBAL-bz4ls
This drunk exploration of love, composed by S D Burman, sung to perfection by Mohammad Rafi with Dev Anand's tilted gait, remains iconic for its warm embrace.
