Dil ke tukde tukde karke

Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye
Jaate jaate yeh toh bataa jaa, hum jiyenge kiske liye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye

Chand bhi hoga, taare bhi honge
Phool chaman me pyaare bhi honge
Lekin humara dil na lagega
Bheegegi jab jab raat suhaani
Aag lagayegi ruth mastaani
Tu hi bata koyi kaise jeeyega
Dil ke maaron ko dil ke maalik thhokar lagaakar chal diye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye
Jaate jaate yeh toh bataa jaa, hum jiyenge kiske liye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye

Roothhe rahenge aap jo humse
Mar jaayenge hum bhi kasam se
Sun le hath chhudaane se pehle,
Jaan humari naam pe tere jayegi ek din dilbar mere
Soch samajh le jaane se pehle,
Yun agar tum dil ke tamanna ko mitaakar chal diye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye
Jaate jaate yeh toh bataa jaa, hum jiyenge kiske liye
Dil ke tukde tukde karke, muskuraake chal diye

K. J. Yesudas received the Filmfare award for this song, composed by Usha Khanna in 1979. 

Usha had debuted in 1959, with the film Dil Deke Dekho. Interestingly enough, she does not consider her entry into the male-dominated film industry or her journey to become a commercially successful music director difficult.

Usha introduced many little-known singers, such as Pankaj Udhas, Roop Kumar Rathod, Shabbir Kumar, and Sonu Nigam, who went on to become quite famous. She has also composed songs many non-Hindi films.

Her birthday was on October 7. Here’s wishing her happiness and many more opportunities to compose music. ~ S
