Mukhda dekh le praani zaraa darpan mein

on:If you are in an introspective mood, then there is nothing like a song sung by Pradeep. Pradeep, who wrote his songs with feeling, sung his songs with feeling too whenever he was called upon to sing songs. I have posted many immortal songs written and sung by Pradeep in this blog.
Here is another such song. This song is from a movie called “Do Behnen” (1959). Frankly speaking I had never heard of this movie and I think most music lovers too may be unaware of this movie. But chances are, people have heard this song sung by Pradeep.
Here is this immortal song that goes “mukhdaa dekh le praani zara darpan mein” from “Do Behnen”. Vasant Desai is the music director. I have not been able to locate the video of this song, so here is the audio of this song. It is a nice song that one can listen to several times.
PS-Now thanks to Mr Pradeep Srinivas, we now have the elusive link to the video of this song, which is picturised on Shyama, with this song playing in the background.

Song-Mukhda dekh le praani zaraa darpan mein ho(Do Behnen) (1959) Singer-Pradeep, Lyrics- Pradeep, MD-Vasant Desai
Lyrics
mukhda dekh le,
dekh le
mukhda dekh le praani zara darpan mein ho
dekh le kitna punya hai
kitna paap tere jeewan mein
dekh le darpan mein
mukhada dekh le praani zara darpan mein
kabhi to pal bhar soch le praani,
kya hai teri karam kahaani
kabhi to pal bhar soch le praani,
kya hai teri karam kahaani
pata lagaa le
pata lagaa le pade hain kitne
daag tere daaman mein
dekh le darpan mein
mukhda dekh le praani zara darpan mein
khud ko dhokha de mat bande,
achchhe na hote kapat ke dhandhe
khud ko dhokha de mat bande,
achchhe na hote kapat ke dhandhe
sada na chalta
sada na chalta kisi ka naatak
duniya ke aangan mein
dekh le darpan mein
mukhda dekh le praani zara darpan mein ho
dekh le kitna punya hai
kitna paap tere jeewan mein
dekh le darpan mein
mukhada dekh le praani

Atul Bhai:
Probably this video could be the one that you may be referring to ?
I could be wrong, and I request you and the rest of your very well versed readers to correct me.
