Bollywood Songs for the Heart-broken Sung by Mukesh

Song 1 : Chandi Ki Deewar Na Todi, Pyar Bhara Dil Tod Diya (Vishwas 1969)

This song from the 1969 film Vishwas has been picturised on Jeetendra and Aparna Sen. The song opens with a person playing Piano in a party function followed by Jeetendra singing:

Chandi Ki Deewar Na Todi, Pyar Bhara Dil Tod Diya

Ek dhanwaan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daaman chhod diya

The song is about complain that a man has from his ex-lover. He says, that the lady had chosen luxury over love and left the hand of a poor boy who loved her.

He then taunts her saying :

Kal tak jisne kasmein khaayi dukh mein saath nibhaane ki,

Aaj wo apne sukh ki khaatir, ho gayi ek begaane ki.

Here he says that his lover earlier used to swear on him and promised to never leave him no matter what the situation may be but today the same woman has chosen an unknown person for her own interest.

Song 2. Deewanon Se Yeh Mat Poochho, Deewanon Pe Kya Guzari Hai

This song is from the movie Upkar and has Manoj Kumar and Asha Parekh in the lead role. The song is all about explaining the turmoils that a man in love has to go through. This song also has the backdrop of a party or gettogether where the male is singing the song for the woman whom he loved.

I personally love the following verse :

Maalik ne banaya insaan ko, Insaan muhabbat kar baitha,

Wo upar baitha kya jaane, Insaano pe kya guzari hai.

Song 3. Jis Dil Mein Basa Tha Pyaar Tera

I heard this song for the first time on an audio cassette. Later on I realized that it has been picturised on Pradeep Kumar who is shown roaming on the roads sad with this song playing in the backgrown. Song Jis Dil Mein Basa Tha Pyaar Tera is all about a man explaining that he has abandoned the heart which was once filled with his lover's love.

I like the following verse in this song:

Jab yaad kabhi tum aaoge, sochenge tumhein chaaha hi nahin,

Raahon mein agar mil jaaoge, sochenge tumhein dekha hi nahi.

Song 4. Mere Toote Hue Dil Se Koi Toh Aaj Yeh Poochhe

Mere Toote Hue Dil Se Koi Toh Aaj Yeh Poochhe from the movie Chhalia  has been picturised on Raj Kapoor and opens with these lines :

Mere Toote Hue Dil Se Koi Toh Aaj Yeh Poochhe

Ke Tera Haal Kya Hai, Ke Tera Haal Kya Hai ?

Mangi muhabbat, paayi judaai, duniya mujhko raas na aayi

Pehle kadam par thokar khayi.

Sadaa aazaad rehte they, humin maloom hi kya tha

Mohobbat kya balaa hai.

The song is all about the journey of someone who stepped into love with longing and innocence, only to encounter heartbreak right away. They speak of a person who once valued freedom and had never truly understood the weight of love’s trials. The contrast between their carefree past and the pain of separation creates a bittersweet tone, showing how love, often imagined as a blissful experience, can also bring unforeseen sorrow and disillusionment.
