I like this song for its magnificent set, for its orchestration, its picturization and choreography. I like this song for initial glimpse of beautiful Nargis, beautiful and elegant Nadira and the handsome Raj Kapoor. I like this song for its change in rhythm and change in the mood halfway through the song. I like this song for the way it is written and also for its meaningfulness. I like this song for its place in the film. The film would be incomplete if this song was not there.
मुड़ मुड़ के ना देख मुड़ मुड़ के जिंदगानी के सफर में तू अकेला ही नहीं है हम भी तेरे हमसफ़र हैं
आए गए मंजिलों के निशाँ लहरा के झूमा झूका आसमाँ लेकिन रुकेगा न ये कारवां
नैनो से नैना जो मिला के देखे मौसम के साथ मुस्कूरा के देखे दुनिया उसी की है जो आगे देखे
दुनिया के साथ जो बदलता जाए जो इसके सांचे में जो ढलता जाए दुनिया उसी की है जो चलता जाए
मुड़ मुड़ के ना देख मुड़ मुड़ के...

I liked this song from Bengali movie 'Teen Bhubner Parey' the moment I first listened to it. Then I watched the video and to my delight it was picturised on Tanuja, one of my favorite actresses. Actually it is a love song where Soumitra, veteran Bengali actor, expresses his feelings to Tanuja on screen. Based on the western beats, the solo song is a silent and melodious affair. And should I tell how Manna Dey has sung this song? This song easily fits into some of the best songs Mannada has ever sung. The camera steadily moves and shows expressions of the pair beautifully. Picturisation itself is worth many accolades. I could not understand the meaning of the song word by word. I could not wait till my friend sent the literal translation of the song though I could find the lyrics, transliterated in English script, from internet. From the translation I can say that the song has very intensely expressed the state of the hero's mind. Now with help of the friend, I have corrected the lyrics and put them into Devanagari script. I have taken maximum possible care to produce the correct pronunciation of words. But errors are bound to be present and I am open to the suggestions.
