Movie: Sadhna (1958) starring .SUNIL DUTT, VAIJAYANTI MALA Music: N Dutta , Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi, , Singer: LATA MANGESHKAR Lyrics : English translation , going through the songs , found this song . Lament here is, unfortunately, as much valid today as it was 55 years ago when Sahir saab penned these lines. Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko Mardon ne use bazaar diya Jab dil chaaha masla-kuchla Jab ji chaaha dhutkaar diya Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko.............................. Woman gave birth to men And men gave her the marketplace To crush and trample at will To reject and cast off at will Woman gave birth to men… Tulti hai kahin dinaaron mein Bikti hai kahin bazaaron mein Nangi nachvaayi jaati hai Ayyashon ke darbaaron mein Yeh woh beizzat cheez hai jo Bant jaati hai izzatdaaron mein Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko.................................. She is weighed somewhere in dinars And sold somewhere in bazaars She is made to dance naked In the courts of the debauched She is that dishonored creature Who is shared out between the honorable Woman gave birth to men…..) Mardon ke liye har zulm ravaan Aurat ke liye rona bhi khataa Mardon ke liye laakhon sejein Aurat ke liye bas ek chita Mardon ke liye har aish ka haq Aurat ke liye jeena bhi sazaa Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko............................ For men, every torment is acceptable For a woman, even weeping is a crime For men, there are a million beds For a woman, there is just one pyre For men, there is a right to every depravity For a woman, even to live is a punishment Woman gave birth to men…...) Jin hothon ne unko pyaar kiya Un hothon ka vyopaar kiya Jis kokh mein inka jism dhala Us kokh ka kaarobaar kiya Jis tan se uge kopal bankar Us tan ko zaleel-o-khaar kiya Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko..................................... The lips which gave them love: They traded those very lips The womb in which their bodies were formed: They reduced that womb to mere merchandise The body from which they grew, like buds: They shamed and abased that body Woman gave birth to men…) Mardon ne banaayi jo rasme Unko haq ka farmaan kaha Aurat ke zinda jalne ko Qurbaani aur balidaan kaha Ismat ke badle roti di Aur usko bhi ehsaan kaha Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko................................ The customs that men created Were given the name of rights The burning alive of a woman Was decreed to be sacrifice In return for purity she was given bread And even that was called a favour Woman gave birth to men…..) Sansar ki har ek besharmi Gurbat ki god mein palti hai Chaklon hi mein aakar rukti hai Faaqon se jo raah nikalti hai Mardon ki hawas hai jo aksar Aurat ke paap mein dhalti hai Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko............................. Every disgrace in this world Is nurtured in the lap of hardship The path that begins in hunger Leads inevitably to the brothel It is often the lust of men That takes shape in the sin of women Woman gave birth to men…..) Aurat sansar ki kismet hai Phir bhi taqdeer ki heti hai Autaar-payambar janti hai Phir bhi shaitan ki beti hai Yeh woh badkismat maa hai jo Beton ki sej pe leti hai Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko...................................... Woman is the destiny of the world But she is still the one abased by fate She bears reincarnations and prophets But she is still the Devil’s daughter This is that ill-fated mother Who lies on the bed of her sons Woman gave birth to men…..) liked the way BR Chopra treated the fallen woman as a human being, as a person whose inherent humanity did not die just because of the profession she was shoved into. A great film, and an unforgettable song. Many women in India are so bound in tradition that they believe that breaking out of it, in fact even challenging it, is fundamentally wrong. Now, respecting the good aspects of tradition is just fine but when such tradition only imposes restrictions on women, instead of empowering them, surely it cannot be worth perpetuating for tradition’s sake? there are many women, used and abused by men - and the saddest thing is that most of them just accept it as their fate. youtube/watch?v=bSbNhACH3Pk
