Shailendra penned this Lata solo

Rulake Gaya Sapna Mera was the shortest of the six tracks from Jewel Thief on this blog – it was three minutes and 39 seconds long.

But by no means did it fall short of the listeners’ expectations.

In fact, it was the only song in the film that was penned by the late Shankardas Kesarilal, popularly known as Shailendra (who passed away at the age of 43 in 1966). Interestingly, some of the legendary lyricist’s finest songs were posthumous.

It was the only Lata Mangeshkar solo in the film.

S D Burman composed the song.
