mujhako yaaro maaf karnaa maiN nashe meN huuN

In Main Nashe Mein Hoon (1959) Shailendra borrowed

yaaro mujhe mu'aaf rakho maiN nashe meN huun


From Meer Taqi Meer's famous GHazal, mujhko yaaro mu'aaf rakho maiN nashe meN hooN, ab do to jaam KHaalee hee do, maiN nashe meN hooN'

Four years earlier Sahir Ludhiyanvi had used the line maiN nashe meN huuN as part of the antara in the song "ab vo karam kareN ki sitam" from the film "Marine Drive" (1955)

kal kya hoga kisko pata

hamko miTaa sake ye zamaane meN dam naheeN,
hamse zamaanaa KHud hai, zamaane se ham naheeN
goes the famous maqta by Jigar Muradabadi
Sung here by Mohd. Rafi




In 1978 for the film Kasme Vaade Gulshan Bawra borrowed the same concept.
he ham jahaaN halla gulaa hoga vahiiN
hamse hai duniya duniya se ham naheeN

terii suurat se nahiiN miltii

terii suurat se kisii kii nahiiN miltii suurat
ham jahaaN meN terii tasviir liye phirte haiN
(Imam Bakhsh 'Nasikh')


Hasrat Jaipuri used Nasikh's couplet as the mukhRa for the Ziddi (1964)
