Lyrics with English translation meaning of song  Mohabbat Bade Kaam Ki Cheez Hai from Trishul 

हर तरफ हुस्न है, जवानी है

Beauty is everywhere, youth is here

आज की रात क्या सुहानी है

What a lovely night tonight is!

Tonight is so enchanting!

रेशमी जिस्म

Silken bodies

हाँ रेशमी जिस्म थरथराते हैं,

Yes, silken bodies tremble,

मरमरी ख़्वाब गुनगुनाते हैं

Marble dreams hum softly  

धड़कनों में सुरूर फैला है

A blissful intoxication spreads through the heartbeats

रंग नज़दीक-ओ-दूर फैला है

Colors have spread far and wide

दावत-ए-इश्क़ दे रही है फज़ा

The air is inviting to a feast of love

The atmosphere is inviting love.

आज हो जा किसी हसीं पे फिदा

Today, fall for someone beautiful

के मोहब्बत बड़े काम की चीज़ है

For love is a very useful thing

काम की चीज़ है

A useful thing  

मोहब्बत बड़े काम की चीज़ है

Love is a very useful thing

काम की चीज़ है

A useful thing  

मोहब्बत के दम से है दुनिया की रौनक

The world’s charm exists because of love

The vibrance of the world exists because of love

मोहब्बत ना होती तो कुछ भी ना होता

If there were no love, there would be nothing  

If love didn’t exist, nothing else would.

नज़र और दिल की पनाहों की ख़ातिर

For the sake of the eyes and heart’s refuge

For the refuge of the gaze and the heart.

ये जन्नत ना होती तो कुछ भी ना होता

If this paradise didn’t exist, there would be nothing  

If this heaven didn’t exist, nothing else would.

यही एक आराम की चीज़ है

This is the one thing that brings peace

This is the only thing that brings comfort.

A useful thing

मोहब्बत बड़े काम की चीज़ है

Love is a very useful thing

In the market of the world, it is that thing

के जिस की किसी को ज़रूरत नहीं है

That no one seems to need  

That which nobody requires.

ये बेकार, बेदाम की चीज़ है

It is a useless, worthless thing

ये कुदरत के ईनाम की चीज़ है

It is a gift of nature

This is a gift from nature.

ये बस नाम ही नाम की चीज़ है

It is just a thing of name  

This is just a thing in name only

काम की चीज़ है

A useful thing

मोहब्बत बड़े काम की चीज़ है

Love is a very useful thing

मोहब्बत से इतना खफ़ा होनेवाले

You who are so angry with love

The one who is so upset with love

चल आ आज तुझ को मोहब्बत सीखा दे

Come, let me teach you love today  

तेरा दिल जो बरसों से वीराँ पड़ा है

Your heart, desolate for years

Your heart, which has been lonely for years

किसी नाज़नीना को इस में बसा दे

Let some beautiful soul reside in it

Let someone delicate dwell in it

मेरा मशवरा काम की चीज़ है

My advice is a useful thing  

काम की चीज़ है

A useful thing

मोहब्बत बड़े काम की चीज़ है

Interesting Facts about movie  Trishul - 

Amitabh Bachchan’s “Angry Young Man” Legacy

Trishul solidified Amitabh Bachchan’s “Angry Young Man” persona, a character archetype crafted by Salim-Javed. 

His role as Vijay, a son seeking revenge for his mother’s abandonment, resonated deeply with audiences. 

A standout moment is Vijay’s confrontation where he calls Gupta his “najaayaz baap” (illegitimate father), a bold and shocking line for the time that drew massive audience reactions. 

Bachchan was nominated for a Filmfare Best Actor Award for Trishul but lost to himself for his role in Don (1978)

The 1978 Hindi film Trishul, directed by Yash Chopra, was primarily shot in Delhi, India

1-Lodhi Gardens  

This historic park in Delhi, known for its lush greenery and Mughal-era tombs, was used for several romantic and emotional scenes. Its serene ambiance provided a backdrop for character interactions, particularly those involving Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Sheetal (Hema Malini).

2-Old Fort (Purana Qila)

3-Pragati Maidan

4-While much of the outdoor shooting took place in Delhi, some interior scenes, including those in offices, homes, and the iconic ambulance fight sequence, were likely filmed on studio sets in Mumbai.
