Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)

main kaun hoon,
main kahaan hoon
mujhe ye hosh nahin
een een
main kaun hoon,
main kahaan hoon
mujhe ye hosh nahin
een een
kidhar main aaj rawaan hoon
mujhe ye hosh nahin
een een
main kaun hoon

mujhe na haath lagaao
ke mar chukaa hoon main
mujhe na haath lagaao
ke mar chukaa hoon main
khud apne haath se
ye khoon kar chukaa hoon main
phir aaj kaise yahaan hoon,
mujhe ye hosh nahin
een een
main kaun hoon

main apni laash uthaaye
yahaan chalaa aayaa
main apni laash uthaaye
yahaan chalaa aayaa
koi bas itnaa bataa de
kahaan chalaa aayaa
ye kyaa jagah hai jahaan hoon
mujhe ye hosh nahin
een een
main kaun hoon

koi na aaye yahaan,
ye mazaar meraa hai
koi na aaye yahaan,
ye mazaar meraa hai
khadaa hoon kab se
mujhe intezaar meraa hai
ye kyaa kahaan,
main yahaan hoon,
mujhe ye hosh nahin
main kaun hoon,
main kahaan hoon mujhe ye hosh nahin
kidhar main aaj rawaan hoon
mujhe ye hosh nahin
main kaun hoon

Yes, ‘Main Chup Rahoongi’ was indeed a tearjerker. Those were the days when filmgoers probably got a kick out of shedding tears in the movie halls! And who better than the ‘South’ made Hindi movies to make people weep?! These movies, called ‘family socials’ were immensely popular with the moviegoers of that time. I remember watching this movie as a 12 year old boy with my parents. The bucketful of tears notwithstanding, I loved the melodious Rafi-Lata duet, “Chand jaane kahan kho gaya…” To this day, I love this song and every time I listen to it, I remember, poor Chitragupta, who, in spite of his immense talents never really got his due. Like Madan Mohan, Jaidev, N Datta, Hansraj Behl and many many others.

A very nice song, Sunil Dutt was one of those actors like Rajendra Kumar, who was very lucky with the songs picturised on him.

Atul Ji, I think with this song, we complete all the songs from this movie. Arun Ji, please confirm :).

We would need to add the sad version of “Tumhi Ho Maata Pita Tumhi Ho” to the songs post though.

Thanks Nitinbhai for reminding this Rafi’s gem. I don’t know in how many songs you see Sunil Dutt as a drunkard. 😦
