Geeta Dutt had originally sung this bhajan (“Rakh na ramakda”) in Gujrati movie “Mangal Phera” (1949) for music director Avinash Vyas and that has gone on to become an evergreen bhajan in Gujarati.

Geeta Dutt, who sang it originally in Gujarati, sang it it in the Hindi version too.

Wow ! I was not aware of this song. What a rollicking and rocking song this is ! This song must be one of the first such songs sung by Kishore Kumar where he sings in the style that would become his trademark singing style.
