Diye Jalte Hain - Namak Haram - 1971


Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost, milte hain, 
diye jalte hain

Jab jis waqt kisi ka, pyar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poochho, yaron dil ka, haal bura hota hai,
Jab jis waqt kisi ka pyar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poonchho yaron dil ka haal bura hota hai,
dil pe yadon ke jaise, teer chalte hain, ahanha
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
diye jalte hain

Is rang roop pe dekho, hargiz naaz na karna,
jaan bhi mange, yaar to dede na, naraz na karna,
rang ud jate hain, dhoop dhalte hain, hmhmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
diye jalte hain

Daulat aur jawani, ek din kho jaati hain, 
sach kahta hoon, saari duniya, dushman ho jaati hai,
umr bhar dost lekin saath chalte hain hmmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost milte hain
Diye jalte hain.

Body Of Lies



My brother describes this movie as an amalgam of Munich and Suryavanshi. My wife describes it as Body of Shit.

Body of Lies is a good movie, in the same vien as Syriana, though more glamourous and less credible than Syriana. Russell Crowe and Leonardo di Caprio do a good job. The best job's been done by Mark Strong as Hani Salaam, the virtual monarch of the realm of Jordanian espionage. Plot is convoluted but mostly comprehensible. A little unnecessary violence.

Personally I loved the way Arabic is shoved in the viewers' face at every oppourtunity as I am trying to learn Arabic.

All in all worth a watch. Go forth and deceive.
