Kishore Kumar’s version was superb

The soundtrack of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar contained a couple of versions of the title track.

This blog contains posts on both.

The longer of these was (Kisho)rendered by none other than Mr Kumar.

It was five minutes and 39 seconds long.

Anjaan penned the track, whose opening verse went, “Rote hue aate hain sab, hansta hua jo jayega, woh muqaddar ka Sikandar jaaneman kehlayega” (who could be translated to, “Everyone arrives in the world crying. But my beloved, the one who departs laughing will be called the conqueror of destiny”).

It was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
