MainTo Ek Khwaab Hoon
Mukesh · Himalay Ki God Mein
Lyricist: Anand Bakshi
Singers: Mukesh
Main To Ek Khwaab Hoo, Is Khwaab Se Too Pyaar Naa Kar
Pyaar Ho Jaaye To Fir Pyaar Kaa Izhaar Naa Kar
Ye Hawaayen Kabhee, Chupchaap Chalee Jaayengee
Laut Ke Fir Kabhee Gulashan Mein Naheen Aayengee
Apane Haathon Mein Hawaaon Ko Giraftaar Na Kar
Tere Dil Mein Hai, Mohabbat Ke Bhadakate Shole
Apane Seene Mein Chhupaa Le Ye, Dhadakate Shole
Is Tarah Pyaar Ko Rusawaa Sar-e-baazaar Naa Kar
Shaakh Se Toot Ke Goonche Bhee Kahee Khilate Hai
Raat Aaur Din Bhee Zamaane Mein Kahee Milate Hai
Bhool Jaa, Jaane De Takadeer Se, Takaraar Naa Kar
Main To Ek Khwaab Hoon
Mukesh's 'Main To Ek Khwaab Hoon' stands as a quintessential example of the romantic ballad style that defined his extensive discography. Recorded for the film 'Himalay Ki God Mein', the track exemplifies his signature ability to blend deep emotional resonance with melodic simplicity. As one of the most celebrated artists of the 1950s and 1960s, Mukesh brought a unique vocal texture to Hindi cinema, often portraying the protagonist's inner turmoil or longing through his renditions. This particular recording captures the essence of his work during the golden age of Bollywood music, where his voice served as a narrative device rather than mere accompaniment. The song remains a staple in collections of classic Indian film music, illustrating the enduring appeal of his compositions and performances that prioritized sentiment over complexity.
