Hemanta Mukhopadhyay a.k.a. Hemant Kumar was a music director/ singer whose career spanned from the late 1930s (not sure about this, am open to being corrected) to 1989. He was fond of singing & music is said to have quit academics to focus on a career in music.(detailed biography is available in this post by our Sudhirji) .
His first film song was in Bengali under S D Burman’s music direction. His first film as music director was also in Bengali. He is said to have moved to Mumbai at the behest of Hemen Gupta who called upon Hemant Kumar to compose music for his (Hemen Gupta’s) Hindi directorial debut ‘Anandmath’ in 1951. I am sure that there are many followers of this blog who know about Hemant Kumar’s musical journey which began in Bengali films and spread to other languages like Odia, Marathi, Gujarati, Assamese, Tamil, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Konkani, Sanskrit, Urdu in addition to Hindi films. He has sung many non-film songs, & was an exponent of Rabindra Sangeet and perhaps the most sought after male singer. His velvet voice was extensively used as playback for Uttam Kumar (in Bengali), Dev Anand, Sunil Dutt, Pradeep kumar etc (in Hindi).
The blog has 320 of his Hindi songs as music director, 228 (including 8 of his NFS) of his 322 as singer. All these I am mentioning are only from Hindi films, his numbers from other languages- I am unaware of.
For this post, remembering him on his 103rd birth anniversary, we shall have a song from the 1969 released “Raahgeer” (also written as “Rahgir”). This was a movie that was produced by Hemant Kumar under the banner of his Geetanjali Pictures. It was directed by Tarun Majumdar had music by Hemant Kumar (himself) and Gulzar was the lyricist. Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar, Aarti Mukherjee, Sulakshana Pandit, & Hemantda as the playback singers. Biswajit, Sandhya Roy, Nirupa Roy, Shashikala, Kanhaiyalal, Iftikaar etc in the cast. There were 10 songs in the film and the following six are already on the blog.

Song-Kabhi ruk gaye hain kabhi chal diye (Raahgeer)(1969) singer-Hemant Kumar, Lyrics-Gulzar, MD-Hemant Kumar
Chorus
Lyrics
mujhko dosh na dena bandhu
mera koi do o o sh nahin
kisko de kar
aaya thha dil
kis’se maanga
ho o osh nahin
kabhi ruk gaye hain
kabhi chal diye
na jaane kise dhoondhte hain safar mein
kabhi ruk gaye hain
kabhi chal diye
kise kho diya thha
na jaane dagar mein
kise kho diya thha
na jaane dagar mein
na jaane kise dhoondhte hain safar mein
akele rahe zindagi bhar akele
na dil saath aaya
na gham saath aaye
hmm mm mmm hmm mm mm
hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
akele rahe zindagi bhar akele
na dil saath aaya
na gham saath aaye
yahi raaste jinki manzil nahin thhi
yahi raaste jinki manzil nahin thhi
yahi saath thhe
bas yahi saath aaye
kabhi ruk gaye hain
kabhi chal diye
kabhi maang kar le liye gham kisi ke
kabhi apne gham kar diye hain paraaye
hmm mm mmm hmm mm mm
hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
kabhi maang kar le liye gham kisi ke
kabhi apne gham kar diye hain paraaye
ye bedard yaaden
ye hamdard aansoo
ye bedard yaaden
ye hamdard aansoo
badi door tak chhodne saath aaye
kabhi ruk gaye hain
kabhi chal diye
kinaara mila jo kinaara nahin thha
bahaana thha koi
sahaara nahin thha
yahi ek dil
jisko samjhe thhe apna
yahi ek dil
jisko samjhe thhe apna
na jaane thha kiska
hamaara nahin thha aa aa aa aa
