Jehan’s India career almost (Ra)finished

Noor Jehan, popularly called Mallika-E-Tarannum (‘The Princess of Songs’), migrated to Pakistan after the partition of India.

But among the last few songs she rendered in India was Yahan Badla Wafa Ka, which was a duet from Jugnu (1947).

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was the one and only Mohammed Rafi.

The next five words of the song – which was written by Tanvir Naqvi – went, “Bewafai ke siva kya hai”.

Therefore, it could be translated to, “What do you get in return for loyalty, but disloyalty?”

Firoze Nizami composed it.
