Song: Ek Din Bik Jayega

I really love this song. It was sung by Mukesh for the movie Dharam Karam in 1975, and sung on stage by Raj Kapoor, whose son Randhir Kapoor directed the movie. The movie was about how an underworld don and a honest man bring up each others sons. The underworld don, Premnath exchanges his son with Raj Kapoor, who is a singer, but inspite of their upbringing, the sons follow the paths of their real fathers. The movie stars Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Premnath and Dara Singh. It was R.D. Burman's only film as a Music Director for RK Films. Everytime I listen to this song with Raj Kapoor singing it on stage, you can feel it to be an auto-biographical song, with a person finally being remembered for his creations and works of art.



Lyrics:

Ek Din Bik Jayega, Maati Ke Mol
Jag Mein Reh Jayenge Pyare Tere Bol
Dooje Ke Hothon Ko Dekar Apne Geet
Koi Nishani Chhod, Phir Duniya Se Dol
Ek Din...

Anhoni Path Mein Kaante Lakh Bichaaye
Honi To Phir Bhi Bichhda Yaar Milaye
Yeh Birha, Yeh Doori
Do Pal Ki Majboori
Phir Koi Dilwala Kahe Ko Ghabraye
Taram Pam...
Dhara Jo Behti Hai Milke Rehti Hai
Behti Chara Ban Ja Phir Duniya Se Dol
Ek Din...

Parde Ke Peechhe Baithi Saanval Gori
Thaam Ke Tere Mere Man Ki Dori
Yeh Dori Na Chhoote, Yeh Bandhan Na Toote
Bhor Hone Wali Hai Ab Raina Hai Thodi
Taram Pam...
Sar Ko Jhukaye Tu Baitha Kya Hai Yaar
Gori Se Naina Jod Phir Duniya Se Dol
Ek Din...
