दिल दिया और ग़म लिया

A female solo of romantic disappointment from the 1943 film Kurbani, sung by Kaushalya to lyrics by Wali Sahab. The title's antithesis — 'gave the heart and took the sorrow' — places it among the lament numbers that anchored the slower half of Khemchand Prakash's soundtrack.

Khemchand Prakash scores the lament at a slow, weighted tempo, leaning on the plaintive vocal line that the composer drew out of his singers in the light-classical mode characteristic of his early-1940s film work.
