Never before I had to piece together so little information from so many sources about a song that I liked so much as in case of “Ut’re jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon men hum” from Pratibha (1984).
Pratibha (1984) is a Chiranjeet Dhawan directed movie with Rameshwari Talluri and Dilip Dhawan in the lead role and Benjamin Gilani and Ratna Bhushan as co-stars. It is about Anjna (Rameshwari Talluri), a brilliant scientist, in love with her colleague Abhijit (Dilip Dhawan). When Abhijit goes abroad for higher education, Anjna is made to marry Yatindra, another scientist, who soon becomes envious of his wife’s pratibha (talent) and develops an inferiority complex vis-à-vis her.
Here the story takes a weird turn as a jealous Yatindra dresses up their maid in Anjna’s sari before making love to her. In retaliation, Anjna gives his suit to a mechanic to wear, which makes male chauvinist Yatindra explode – and perhaps an estrangement/separation/divorce! On Abhijit’s return from abroad, Anjna’s feelings for him are reignited and she wants to marry him … but the traditions prevent her from doing so.
As to this superb number describing a jilted lover’s pathos, is penned by Chiranjeet Dhawan and soulfully vocalized in his deep baas voice by Bhupinder Singh under the baton of Sapan-Jagmohan on Abhijit (Dilip Dhawan) with both Anjna (Rameshwari Talluri) and a riled Yatindra in the audience.
Song – Utre Jo Zindagi Teri Gehraaiyon Mein Hum (Pratibha)(1984) Singer – Bhupinder Singh, Lyrics – Chiranjeet Dhawan, MD – Sapan Jagmohan

utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum
utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum
deewaangi nahin to
isey aur kya kahen
deewaangi nahin to
isey aur kya kahen
insaan dhoondte rahe parchhaaiyon mein hum
utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum
chingaariyan udeen
na kahin se dhuaan utha
chingaariyan udeen
na kahin se dhuaan utha
yoon bhi jaley hain waqt ki purvaaiyon mein hum
utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum
jurm e wafaa pe jin ko milegi sazaa e maut
jurm e wafaa pe jin ko
milegi sazaa e maut
ginwaaye jaaenge unhin saudaaiyon mein hum
utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum
utre jo zindagi teri gehraaiyon mein hum
mehfil men reh ke bhi rahe tanhaaiyon mein hum

हम्मम हम्मम हम्मम हम्मम
हम्मममममम
ओ ओ ओ
आ आ आ

उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
दीवानगी नहीं तो
इसे और क्या कहें
दीवानगी नहीं तो
इसे और क्या कहें
इंसान ढूंढते रहे परछाईओं में हम
उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
चिंगारीयां उड़ीं
ना कहीं से धुआं उठा
चिंगारीयां उड़ीं
ना कहीं से धुआं उठा
यूं भी जले हैं वक़्त की पुरवाइओं में हम
उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
जुर्मे वफा पे जिन को मिलेगी सज़ा ए मौत
जुर्मे वफा पे जिन को
मिलेगी सज़ा ए मौत
गिनवाए जाएँगे उन्हीं सौदाईओं में हम
उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
उतरे जो ज़िंदगी तेरी गहराईओं में हम
महफिल में रह के भी रहे तन्हाईओं में हम
