Mukesh Chand Mathur (Hindi: मुकेश चन्द माथुर) (22 July 1923 27 August 1976) was an Indian playback singer of Bollywood. Along with Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar, he dominated Indian film playback music from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Mukesh's voice was noticed by Motilal (a popular actor in Hindi films, also a distant relative of Mukesh) when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Bombay, let him stay with him and even arranged for singing lessons by pandit jagannath prasad for him. During this period, Mukesh managed to bag a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (Innocent) (1941). His first song was dil hi bujha hua ho to as an actor singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for Actor Motilal himself in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar'music by Anil Biswas & Lyrics by Aah Sitapuri' (First Look). The first song he sang for a Hindi film was Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De (If the heart burns, let it burn), which was incidentally picturised on Motilal.

Mukesh died of a heart attack on 27 August 1976 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, where he had gone for a concert. His body was carried back to India by Lata Mangeshkar, where a grand funeral ceremony took place as many famous actors, personalities of the Indian film industry, and fans paid tribute to the late singer. When the news of his death reached Raj Kapoor, he remarked, "I have lost my voice," which is a testimony to the timeless and unforgettable association of Mukesh's voice (in playback) to the immensely popular songs of Raj Kapoor's films.

I had been searching for this song for ages! This lovely song brings back such pleasure and sentiments that only a truelove can understand. I am being animated. What a beautiful duet with Suman Kalyanpur. What we remember from childhood we remember for ever. A couple of hit songs Mukesh had sung with this young lady and this one of them. What a privilege to hear music likethis. O dear unseen friend you are doing a wonderful job. The quality of the audio is great. Keep it up. (11th February 2011)

Back in 1992 I was working in the ABC Television when I met one Stage Hand who knew LataJee and Mukesh. He told me the story but I read this and it was in the TV news when Mukesh had heart attack and he expired. In my collection I have song of Mukesh from the film ANNADATA1953 Music by Mohammad Shafi, Produced by OMAR KHAYYAM FILMS. I saw this movie in the year 1956 when I was 12 years old. I cannot upload if any body is interested to listen to this song can post his/her willing...

What a beauty of a song! Suman and Mukesh at their romantic best. Asha Parekh looks an angel in simple make up and costumes ( she was so over made up in most of her movies! ). She came out with an excellent dance ( "Nache man") too.

During the past three months this song has cast such a magical spell on me that cannot be described in words. This gem unfolds the supreme riches which the hindustani music possesses in such abundance.
