"Mere Pairon Mein Ghunghroo" from the 1968 film Sunghursh is a classic showcase of Mohammed Rafi's incredible vocal range and energy.
What makes this track particularly unique is that it features Dilip Kumar—the "Tragedy King"—in a rare, boisterous, and flamboyant avatar. In the movie, he plays Kundan, who is disguised as a wandering "Bajrangi" when he performs this song.

Key Lyrics
The song captures the joy of someone who has had a little bit of bhang and is ready to dance the night away:
"Dil paaya albela maine tabiyat meri rangeeli" "Aaj khushi mein maine bhaiya thodi si bhang pi lee" "Haay mere pairon mein... ghunghroo bandha de to phir meri chaal dekh le!"
The lyrics roughly translate to: "I have a carefree heart and a colorful nature. Today, in my happiness, I've had a little bit of bhang... just tie the bells on my feet and then watch my moves!"
