ज़िंदगी ख़्वाब है था हमें भी पता पर हमें ज़िंदगी से बहुत प्यार था सुख भी थे, दुख भी थे दिल को घेरे हुए आ गई थी शिकायत लबों तक मगर चल पड़े दर्द पीकर तो चलते रहे चंद दिन था बसेरा हमारा यहाँ |

Dear Amarendra,
It did not escape my notice that you posted this song on Shailendra’s anniversary.
This song is an example of why Mukesh – and no singer more than him, in Hindi films – is known as the ‘king of pathos’.
Thanks for posting this, the other songs of the film and your off-line expert commentary on all of them.
By the way, here is a quiz:
When all these men are out for their evening stroll, somewhere up there – Anil Biswas, Shankar, Jaikishan, S. D. Burman, Salil Chaudhary, C. Ramchandra, Hemant Kumar, R.D. Burman, Roshan and many others, including of course their common denominator, the immortal Shailendra – they are all saying:
‘Oh, should we be so lucky that there is someone on our former abode who is keeping alive our legacy in such a magnificent and detailed fashion, a labor of love if ever there was one’.
Who is this person they are referring to, I wonder !

Warm regards
Robin
I am grateful to the person who has provided this wonderful evergreen song by the all time greats.
Many thanks.
