Begum must’ve (Shams)had a ball

A(a)rdent Shamshad fans would say that she had a significant pa(a)rt to play in the success of Aar Paar’s soundtrack.

And they definitely weren’t wrong – the only song she sang was Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar Laaga Teer-e-Nazar (which means the arrow-like eyes sometimes found their target this side, and at other times, that side).

That is tantamount to cheating [a good reason for the lady to Beg(l)um]. But, thankfully, she enjoyed singing this O P Nayyar composition, which was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Needless to say, so did countless music aficionados upon listening to it.
