Music In The Mountains: Ye Kaun Chitrakar Hai

On the occasion of Guru Poornima, today's song is dedicated to our teachers. It talks of the bounties of Nature and their Creator in a rich yet simple language. Why, it is one of the most beautiful and profound verses said in the praise of the Almighty. It is from "Boond Jo Ban Gayee Moti" (1967). Produced and directed by V. Shantaram, the film starred Jeetendra and Mumtaz.

What makes this song an apt selection for today is the fact that in this film, Jeetendra plays the role of an upright schoolteacher who is falsely charged in a murder case. Shantaram was a master filmmaker who made meaningful films with a social message. This film underlines the importance of honesty and integrity in one's life.

Singer: Mukesh
Lyrics: Bharat Vyas
Music: Satish Bhatia
