Rajendra Kumar, known for copying Dilip Kumar’s mannerisms, was known as Jubilee Kumar, because almost all his movies tended to be jubilee hits. Those days,movies completing 25 weeks were called silver jubilee hits and movies completing 50 weeks were called golden jubilee hits. Almost every Rajendra Kumar movie was a jubilee hit.

Now, with the benefit of hindsight, I feel that much of the success of Rajendra Kumar movies was because of the music. What great music and music directors we had those days ! And the music of Rajendra Kumar movies tended to be amazingly popular. Songs of Rajendra Kumar movies, viz “Sasuraal”, “Aarzoo”, “Suraj” etc were amazingly popular. I do not think there is much content left in these movies if one takes these songs out of these movies.

In most of these movies, it was Rafi who tended to be the singer for Rajendra Kumar, typically under the music direction of Shankar Jaikishan.

Here in this song, it is rather different. Here Mukesh sings for Rajendra Kumar and Dattaram is the music director. Pradeep is the lyricist.

This song is a sad piano song picturised on Rajendra Kumar.

Lyrics

kidhar main jaaun samajh na paaun
bulaa rahin hain do raahen
idhar hai mamtaa aur udhar hain bheegi nigaahen

kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa
bante-bante mahal kisi kaa toote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa
bante-bante mahal kisi kaa toote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa

bhanwar se bach ke ek bhatakti naav lagi thi kinaare
kise khabar thi phir pahunchegi aansuon ke dwaare
bhanwar se bach ke ek bhatakti naav lagi thi kinaare
kise khabar thi phir pahunchegi aansuon ke dwaare
haay is tarah bhaag kisi se roothe naa
haay is tarah bhaag kisi se roothe naa
bante-bante mahal kisi kaa toote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa

abhi abhi do phoolon waali jhoom rahi thi daali
ghiri achaanak kaali badli bijli giraane waali
abhi abhi do phoolon waali jhoom rahi thi daali
ghiri achaanak kaali badli bijli giraane waali
hote-hote saath kisi kaa chhoote naa
hote-hote saath kisi kaa chhoote naa
bante-bante mahal kisi kaa toote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa
bante-bante mahal kisi kaa toote naa
kabhi kisi ki khushiyaan koyi loote naa
