kaun kambaKht hai jo bardaasht karne ke liye peetaa hai

Film : Devdas
Year of release : 1955
Spoken by : Devdas (Dilip Kumar)
Spoken to : Chandramukhi (Vyjayanthi Mala)
Dialogue writer : Rajinder Singh Bedi

This is the real 'Devdas', not the bastardised glam version of SRK and Bhansali. I am not one of those who insists that the old is the real thing. In fact this film was made over two decades before my birth and I saw it over two decades after my birth, but I will surely put it above the SRK version. If you don't believe me, just search for this scene on youtube. Both the versions are available there. Go see it. Then read this post. But if you believe me, continue reading.
Devdas's father is on his death bed. He starts visiting Chandramukhi who is a prostitute. He has also started drinking. One such night, he is in a drunken stupor. Chandramukhi tries to stop him. She says

"aur mat piyo Devdas"
"kyo.n?" asks Devdas
"kucch hii din huye peenaa shuru kiye. Itnee zyaadaa bardaasht na kar sakoge"
"kaun kambaKht hai jo bardaasht karne ke liye peetaa hai. Mai.n to peetaa hoo.n ke...bas saa.ns le sakoo.n...aur...aisee jagah se uTh kar jaane kee taaqat nahee.n hai naa...tabhii to yahaa.n paDaa rahtaa hoo.n...bas...dekhtaa rahtaa hoo.n tumhaare mu.nh kee taraf...to bhii mai.n bilkul behosh nahee.n hotaa...kucch hosh rah hee jaataa hai...hosh se kah do...kabhii hosh naa aane paaye...

Chandramukhi says, "yahaa.n aise log bhee aate hai.n Devdas, jo sharaab ko chhoote bhee nahee.n
Devdas : chhote bhee nahee.n? mere paas bandook ho to mai.n unhe golii se uDaa doo.n. vo log mujh se bhii baDe paapii hai.n Chandramukhi. Pahle to mai.n sharaab peenaa chhoDoongaa nahee.n. aur agar chhoD diyaa to phir yahaa.n kabhii nahee.n aaoongaa. kabhii nahee.n aoongaa. meraa to ilaaj hai. lekin un logo.n ka kyaa hogaa ...jo peete bhii nahee.n. aur phir bhii yahaa.n aate hai.n

If you watch the video, also watch for these great lines...
"mat chhuo...haath mat lagaao mujhe Chandramukhi...ab bhii kucch hosh baaqii hai"
"pal bhar me.n sab kucch Khatam ho gayaa. woh shaadii ke raaste pe chal di aur mai.n barbaadii ke raaste par"

    I respect Dilip Sir, But Still I would say that SRK version of Devdas is much better...

    I find the dialogues incomparable, Dilip Kumar's version has depth in dialogues. SRK's version is definitely visually appealing :)

      kon kambakht bardasht karne ke liye peeta hai,
      hum tu peetay hai yahan par bath saky,
      tumy dakh saky,tumy bardasht kar saky,
      behosh ho saky, paroo ko bhola saky,
      lakin
      chander mukhe ak paroo ki yaad hai jo hame hosh bhi nhi khony deati,
      kyon,
      kyon, itna peeny ky bad bhi us ki yaad hamy state hai din bhar,
      kyon, kyon,
      kyon itna na samj ho jata hai insan,
      kyon galti karta hai kyon,
      kyon choti se galti ki itni bari saza milte hai kyon,
      ky zindgi kay rasaty alag ho jay ak chala jay shadi kay rasty par or dusraaaaaa
