Broken dreams taught (R)afine lesson

Green Day weren’t the only ones who strolled down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.  Close to home, Shailendra, who penned Toote Hue Khwaabon Ne, from Madhumati, and Salil Choudhury, who composed it, did so decades ago.

The next three lines of the track, which was three minutes and 42 seconds long, went, “Humko yeh sikhaaya hai, dil ne jise paaya tha, aankhon ne ganwaaya hai.

The verse could be translated to, “The dreams that were broken have taught me that my eyes have lost the person my heart found.”

It was rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
