In the month of July we had a Mehfil@Prithvi on renowned poet and lyricist Shailendra. We brushed through his prolific work and played some famous songs from films in which he has penned memorable lines.
Given below is a song played at the mehfil, from the film Teesri Kasam (1966). While this film was produced by Shailendra, interestingly the lyrics were written by Shailendra’s contemporary, poet Hasrat Jaipuri:
Teesri kasam (1966)
Toone Kaaheko Duniya Banayi
Kahe Banaye Toone Maati Ke Putle
Dharti Yeh Pyari Pyari
Mukhde Yeh Ujle
Kahe Banaya Toone Duniya Ka Khela
Usme Lagaya Jawaani Ka Mela
Gup-Chup Tamasha Dekhe, Wah Re Teri Khudaai
Kahe Ko Duniya…
Preet Banaake Toone Jeena Sikhaaya
Hansna Sikhaaya, Rona Sikhaaya
Jeevan Ke Path Par Meet Milaye
Meet Milake Toone Sapne Sajaaye
Sapne Sajaake Toone Kahe Ko De Di Judaai
Kahe Ko Duniya…

Duniya Banane Wale was written by Shailendra sahab’s friend and fellow poet Hasrat Jaipuri. Please amend the error.
I am sure it would have been a wonderful mehfil with Shailendra’s memorable songs.
However, the song you have mentioned was not written by Shailendra but by Hasrat Jaipuri.
