Artist Biography

Mukesh, one of the greatest male playback singers of Hindi film industry, was known for his haunting and melancholic voice. Born on July 22, 1923 in a small middle-class family, Mukesh was groomed by the noted singer Pandit Jagannath Prasad.

Before becoming a playback singer, Mukesh tried his hand at acting too, however, his first film Nirdosh (1941), failed at the box-office. His first break as a singer came with Pehali Nazar (1945). Though initially, Mukesh seemed to be imitating K L Saigal, with Andaz (1949) Mukesh had evolved his own style.

Some of Mukesh's hit songs were from the movies Aag (1948), Awaara (1951) and Shree 420 (1955). Encouraged by his success as a singer, Mukesh tried his hand in acting for a second time. He featured in two films; Mashooka (1953) and Anuraag (1956). Unfortunately, both the movies sank at the box-office.

Mukesh suffered a severe financial blow due to the set-backs he suffered. Fortunately, he bounced back with Yehudi (1958), Madhumati (1958) and Parvarish (1958). Mukesh kept his tryst with success with Anaadi (1959), Sangam (1964), Mera Naam Joker (1970) and Dharam Karam (1975).

On August 27, 1976, while on a concert tour in the USA, Mukesh suffered a fatal heart attack. Several of his songs were released posthumously. Mukesh last sang for the film Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978).

Lyrics

jis galee mein teraa ghar naa ho baalamaa

us galee se humei to gujaranaa nahee

jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaatee naa ho

us dagar pe humei paanw rakhanaa nahee

jindagee mein kaee rangaraliyaa sahee

har taraf muskuraatee ye kaliyaan sahee

khubasoorat bahaaron kee galiyaan sahee

jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe

us chaman se humei fool chunanaa nahee

haa ye rasme, ye kasamei sabhee tod ke

too chalee aa, chunar pyaar kee odh ke

yaa chalaa jaaoongaa main ye jag chhod ke

jis jagah yaad teree sataane lagee

us jagah yek pal bhee thhaharanaa nahee
