The desolate, deserted setting is a foreboding image of the tragedy that has been played out. The Mentor and his Muse stand apart from each other divided by an invisible chasm of fame and success! She, riding the surging waves of adulation, and he, buried in the pile of neglect and rejection. The huge cavernous sound stage, once abuzz with the mad rush of artistes and crew, lies abandoned \u2014 it\u2019s dusty darkness seeking to cover-up the recent fall in its fortunes! All the air, a solemn stillness holds \u2014 a sense of impending doom pervades the atmosphere and in that gloom a song emerges \u2014 a melody of melancholy.<\/p>\n

Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam Kaagaz Ke Phool<\/em> (1959) is the story of a director Suresh Sinha (Guru Dutt) who has once tasted phenomenal success and popularity and is now in a free fall to an ignominious end with his chronic alcoholism. His marital life, in shambles, was spurred on to creative heights by the arrival of Shanti (Waheeda Rehman) in his life. Seeking solace in her company, he aims to resurrect his personal life. But his daughter Pammi goes to Shanti, asking her to\u00a0leave him so her parents can have a chance at reconciliation.<\/p>\n Shanti leaves the film industry to teach in a village school, only to be forced to return to fulfill her film commitments. The success of her films takes her to the top. And here, the director, who made her the star, feels abandoned and betrayed. Thus begins the journey that ends in the same studio, which has seen his finest hour and now is a mute witness to his final moments!<\/p>\n Kaifi Azmi\u2019s sublime poetry not just narrates, it recreates this tragedy. His poetry gives it the immortality it deserves. Words oozing pain and frustration pour forth in Geeta Dutt\u2019s euphonious voice \u2013<\/p>\n \u092c\u0947\u0958\u0930\u093e\u0930 \u0926\u093f\u0932 \u0907\u0938 \u0924\u0930\u0939 \u092e\u093f\u0932\u0947 Beqaraar dil is tarha mile The point of no return<\/p><\/div>\n The two souls met, as if they were never apart. And yet today, they lie \u00a0sequestered, their dreams shattered \u2013 just two steps down the path of hope! And now the point of no return seems to have been reached.<\/p>\n \u091c\u093e\u090f\u0902\u0917\u0947 \u0915\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0938\u0942\u091d\u0924\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 Jaayenge kaha soojhta nahi \u00a0<\/strong>\u0935\u0958\u094d\u0924 \u0928\u0947 \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0902\u0938\u0940\u0902 \u0938\u093f\u0924\u092e Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam There is an element of black magic in this song. The dark spaces of the\u00a0studio seem to be creeping up upon the two people as the inevitable looms in the distance. The black saree and dark coat suggest the darkness lying ahead of the two distressed lovers. And that is when the spell of black magic is broken by a shaft of bright light that sears the gloom and splits the darkness. Into that sanctuary of bliss, two disembodied souls meet\u2014the only place they could meet!<\/p>\n A shaft of bright light that sears the gloom, splits the darkness<\/p><\/div>\n Into that sanctuary of bliss, two disembodied souls meet<\/p><\/div>\n The song doesn\u2019t just stay away with you\u2014it comes with a 999-year lease. The orchestral music with the deep bass of the violin section\u2014its measured crescendos and mournful movements\u2014the wizardry of photographer V K Murthy and art director M R Acharekar\u2014 which light up the pain on Waheeda\u2019s face and the defeat written on Guru Dutt\u2019s stooping shoulders. Every frame, every note, riveting, spellbinding!<\/p>\n The pain on Waheeda\u2019s face and the defeat written on Guru Dutt\u2019s stooping shoulders<\/p><\/div>\n Burman Dada\u2019s greatness as a music director lay in the fact that, like a graceful gentleman who believes in \u201cLadies First,\u201d he always held the door open with \u201cLyricists First\u201d! And then the ladies\u2014Waheeda, Geeta Dutt, both living the sepulchral mood of a Greek tragedy\u2014one with the flicker of light on her face and the other with the cascading pain in her voice! And before the light and the voice fade into the void of infinity, for all the protagonists, immortality has been achieved!<\/p>\n As Douglas Yates says about unrequited love, \u201cPeople who are sensible about love are often incapable of it!\u201d<\/p>\n The music, the words and the voice \u2014 SD Burman, Kaifi Azmi and Geeta Dutt<\/p><\/div>\n
