itne bade jahaan mein
ae dil tujh ko
tujh ko akela chhodoon kaise
tujh ko
tujh ko akela chhodoon kaise
tujh ko
tu naadaan log begaane in sang
in sang naata jodoon kaise
in sang
in sang naata jodoon kaise
in sang
mat ja re
in anjaani galiyon se
mat ja o mat ja
o mat ja re in anjaani galiyon se
mat ja o mat ja
bachiyo re duniya waale chhaliyon se
bachiyo re bachiyo
hmm
tu ik jaan shikaari laakhon in ka
in ka nishaana todoon kaise
in ka
in ka nishaana todoon kaise
in ka
mat lalcha
gar kaanton mein phool bhi hai
mat lalcha re
mat lalcha gar kaanton mein phool bhi hain
mat lalcha re
poochh kisi se dil ka lagaana bhool bhi hai
poochh kisi se
hmm
dhal jaaye raat
bikhar jaayen sapne phir se
phir se inhen main jodoon kaise
phir se
phir se inhen main jodoon kaise
phir se
haaye na maana zaalim
ghair ka ho hi gaya
ho gaya re ho gaya
o haaye na maana zaalim ghair ka ho hi gaya
ho gaya re ho gaya
haar ke sab kuchh main hun khadi dil kho hi gaya
kho gaya re kho gaya
hmm
jaata hai to ja deewaane
ab main
ab main tera ji todoon kaise
ab main
ab main tera ji todoon kaise
ab main
itne bade jahaan mein ae dil
tujh ko
tujh ko akela chhodoon kaise
tujh ko
tujh ko akela chhodoon kaise
tujh ko

Thanks a lot Atul Ji. This lovely song was surprisingly not stored in my memory. May be other songs overshadowed this one. Great prelude music, good choreography and a pleasing tune.
A true SJ product

I was in school in Bombay when I saw Kathputli’ with my parents and my sister. Years later, as a college student, I saw it as a morning show with my friends. I loved the movie. By the way, you have placed Kamala Laxman’s name above Jawahar Kaul’s! Jawahar Kaul had a role as pivotal as Balraj Sahni’s and Vyjyanthimala’s. Sadly, he faded away after ‘Dekh Kabira Roya’. And Subir Sen too sparkled for some time and just vanished from the scene. Sad……
