The Background of Masoom Dil
Hai Mera Mujra from Heeramandi
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic series Heeramandi has
just debuted on Netflix, captivating
audiences with its rich storytelling and intricate characters. In the second
episode, the short yet moving mujra Masoom Dil Hai Mera is performed on screen by Lajjo played by the actor Richa Chadha. The
lyrics are by A M Turaz and the vocals by Shikha Joshi.
The Original Lyrics of Masoom Dil
Hai Mera
Masoom dil hai mera ise tod diya jaye
Rishta gamon se mera ab jod diya jaye
Bade naam wale
Badnaam hoon bahut main
Mujhe cchod diya jaye
The English Translation of Masoom
Dil Hai Mera from Heeramandi
The realities of life have shattered my naivete.
The men living in mansions are genteel
and reputed
While the courtesans they dally with are
shrouded in disgrace
To be used for pleasure and then
discarded.
Having suffered this fate, I am now
wedded to sorrow.

Heeramandi Is Inspired by
Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah
In my English
translation of Sakal Ban I pointed out that Sanjay
Leela Bhansali has been inspired by the classic Bollywood film Pakeezah.
The mujra Masoom Dil Hai Mera echoes two well-known mujras from Pakeezah, both based on essential themes discussed
earlier. The song Inhi Logon Ne serves as an
allegorical commentary a courtesan’s life, which I elaborate on in my Bollywood
Translations of Pakeezah. Another mujra from Pakeezah, Aaj
Ham Apani Duaaon Ka, features a courtesan performing during the wedding
ceremony of a man she loves, though being rejected by his family because of her
disgraced profession.
