Rula ke gaya mera sapna (Jewel Thief)

SD Burman's mastery on sad music has taken a great height in this song. This is taken from the Vijay Anand-directed, and Dev Anand-starred 1976 movie Jewel Thief. Other stars include:
Ashok Kumar,
Vyjayanthimala,
Tanuja,
Helen et.al.
Plot summary:
"Vinay, an ordinary young man who finds himself constantly mistaken for a look-alike jewel thief named Amar. Vinay works with the police to impersonate Amar and crack his crime ring--but it seems that Amar has decided to impersonate Vinay, as well, and soon their true identities are thoroughly muddled.

Vinay lives with his father, a Police Commissioner, and his mom in Bombay. Vinay's dad is quite upset with him as he has not learnt any skills, and spends all his time examining stones and jewellery. The city is being held to ransom by a daring jewel thief, who continues to baffle them to no end. They do get a pleasant surprise when they find out that he has secured employment with a leading jeweler by the name of Vishamber Nath. Vinay also gets to meet Nath's attractive daughter, Anju, and there is romance budding in the air. This is short lived when several people greet Vinay as "Amar" or "Prince Amar". Things come to a boil when a young woman named Shalini comes forward and claims that Vinay is her fiancée. Vinay is able to prove to them that he is indeed Vinay, and cooperates with them to locate this elusive Amar - only to find himself embroiled in a devious scheme - that robs him of his sanity - makes lose his memory, identity, and makes him a target of every policeman in India and Nepal."

रुला के गया सपना मेरा बैठी हूँ कब हो सवेरा, रुला ... वही है ग़म-ए-दिल, वही है चंदा, तारे हाय, वही हम बेसहारे आधी रात वही है, और हर बात वही है फिर भी न आया लुटेरा, रुला ... कैसी ये ज़िंदगी, कि साँसों से हम, ऊबे हाय, कि दिल डूबा हम डूबे एक दुखिया बेचारी, इस जीवन से हारी उस पर ये ग़म का अन्धेरा, रुला ...

Yes, Vipan Bhai, i watched all the songs of Bandani and 02 especially watched many times. O, Janay Wale, Ho Sakay to Laut Kay a Ana - and Meray Sajan Hain Us Paar- It was a unique subject - a mixture of Love and Hatred, due to the strange DESTINY on both the sides. Thanks for your reply. Khalid Asghar.

Thanks for the forward, Khalid Bhai. SDB was indeed especially gifted in using the flute to convey the pathos of sad-sweet songs. Other examples of his deft flute touches are in the songs of Bandini, an unforgettable film with an unforgettable soundtrack . Thanks to MagocVideoHall for the post.

I am grateful to Dr.Bokhari Sahib of *lovehumanity*, who sent me the LINK of this song on my request and, no doubt, thanks to MagicViodeoHall, who up loaded this video, extremely RARE song. I ahve been listening its audio for the last 05 years, but watched the video, just now. This is a great, simple melody, exceptionally superb. No doubt, S.D.Burban was a great Music Director.The use of violins and flute is JUST justufied.Thanks once again. Khalid Asghar.
