This song is picturised on Manmohan Krishna, Honey Irani and others.
Song-Hamen un raahon par chalna hai (Masoom) (1960) Singers-Aarti Mukherji, Subir Sen, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-Robin Banerji
Lyrics
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hain wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
jab tak na lagan ho seene mein
bekaar hai aise jeene mein
jab tak na lagan ho seene mein
bekaar hai aise jeene mein
chadhnaa hai hamen chandaa ki tarah
sooraj ki tarah nahin dhalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hain wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
main paas rahoon yaa door rahoon
ye baat abhi tum se kah doon
main paas rahoon yaa door rahoon
ye baat abhi tum se kah doon
hansnaa hi nahin phoolon ki tarah
deepak ki tarah hamen jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hain wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
aakaash se aati hai ye sadaa
gham aaye agar to ji na dhalaa
aakaash se aati hai ye sadaa
gham aaye agar to ji na dhalaa
kabhi gham hain yahaan,
kabhi hain khushiyaan
har haal mein ham ko palnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai
ham hai wo diye auron ke liye
jinhen toofaanon mein jalnaa hai
hamen un raahon par chalnaa hai
jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai

I was not even aware of this song. Some kind soul has uploaded this song from “Masoom” as well as the video of “Naani teri morni ko mor le gaye”. Both the songs are such moving and amazing songs.

Yes, those were the days of idealism in India, when we loved all these patriotic and idealistic songs. I remember singing this song and the one from Ganga Jumna, Insaaf ki dagar pe …, and believing in the lyrics. I wish at least some of that would still be there in India today.

Hi Atul, thanks a lot for this song. i work with children with Learning difficulties and at times get very disheartened. this was a song taught to us by Miss Malik one of my 2nd and 3rd standard teachers. never understood it till recently. yesterday out of the blue had this song playing in my mind, remembered most of the lyrics too. God bless you for putting up this song. it is like a blessing.

Hi Atul,
I have seen this song rather the movie in 1984 when I was 7-8 years old, infact this was the first movie I have seen on TV,In those days TV was a big thing…. For around 15-16 years, I was trying to see this movie or atleasy this great song, but never got any success. Later on gradually forgottern, but today suddenly I came across this song…. I don’t know how to thanks you for such a great work… Many Many Thanks… Keep this great work ahead… I will try to get the whole movie now…. Thanks once again..

I simply love this song as when my father cried on watching this song when the mother of three beautiful children is no more. My father’s first wife died leaving behind three children of exactly the same age as these
three. I am sure he saw himself singing this song. The looks on faces of
two younger kids in the beginning lines is heartrending for me. Thanks
Atulbhai, for posting this song.

Wow !!! Wow !!! Wow !!!
I cannot believe I am hearing this song again.
This was a song taught to me in my early primary school (1st/2nd standard) by my schoolteacher.
I learnt the song having no idea about its background – I did not even know it was a movie song !!!
I had completely forgotten about it.
Listening to it after all these years, there are tears in my eyes.
Thanks, Atul, for unearthing this treasure of a song.
