Lyrics :-
Zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
mil gaye tum to dil ko sahaara milaa
aa gaye ek naye raaste par qadam
jab tumhaari nazar ka ishaara mila
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
uljhane thin khayaalon pe chaayi huyi
gham ki maujen thin dil me samaayi huyi
uljhane thin khayaalon pe chaayi huyi
gham ki maujen thin dil me samaayi huyi
tumne jab dil ki kashti me rakha kadam
ham ko toofaan me bhi kanaara mila
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
mil gaye tum to dil ko sahaara milaa
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
zindagi ko tamaana thi hamraaz ki
saaz e dil ko zaroorat thi aawaaz ki
zindagi ko tamaana thi hamraaz ki
saaz e dil ko zaroorat thi aawaaz ki
tumne jab muskuraa kar pukaara hamen
zindagi ko khushi ka nazaara mila
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
mil gaye tum to dil ko sahaara milaa
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
ab zamaane ka dar hai na duniya ka gham
apni taqdeer par naaz karte hain ham
ab zamaane ka dar hai na duniya ka gham
apni taqdeer par naaz karte hain ham
aaj aankhon ko jalwe tumhaare mile
aaj haathon ko daaman tumhaara mila
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham
mil gaye tum to dil ko sahaara milaa
aa gaye ek naye raaste par qadam
jab tumhaari nazar ka ishaara mila
zindagi ke safar me akele the ham...

A teacher transforms the life of a courtesan
by jmathur_swayamprabha
Nartakee (dancer) was released in 1963. The title role belongs to Nanda who wants to read and become literate but is forced by her mother to live the life of a courtesan, dancing for the entertainment of the people and spend a life sans any dignity or social honour. Sunil Dutt arrives in her city as a teacher in an educational institution whose owner and chief trustee is a high-handed man, Om Prakash. Om Prakash's daughter, Preeti Bala who is also a student there, falls for Sunil Dutt. High-handed and arrogant Om Prakash soon gets annoyed with the straight-forward, honest and sincere Sunil Dutt who does not flatter him just to secure his job. One day Nanda, fascinated by the charm of education, enters the institution and comes across Sunil Dutt. Sunil Dutt saves her from the blushes being thrust upon her by that gate-crashing entry and being impressed by her desire to study, decides to teach her privately. When it is known to Om Prakash and Sunil Dutt's detractors that he teaches a courtesan, the stage is set for his termination from service. On the other hand, Nanda's mother is also after her and strictly against her education as well as her interactions with Sunil Dutt. Seeing all the circumstances, Sunil Dutt proposes Nanda for marrying her and giving her a dignified life. This is even more difficult for him (as well as Nanda). However with his courage and conviction, Sunil Dutt is not only able to tie the sacred knot with Nanda but also able to save his job and honour.
The scene of the birthday party of Preeti Bala and the scene of the first encounter of Sunil Dutt and Nanda are very impressive. Despite predictability, the flow of the story is able to keep the audience tied with it.
Sunil Dutt has been given the get-up and the attires of a traditional Indian male in which he looks quite handsome. Nanda shares excellent on-screen chemistry with him. Both these actors have performed quite naturally. Preeti Bala as Om Prakash's daughter who falls in love with her teacher, Sunil Dutt; is also impressive. Bollywood's seasoned comedian during the fifties and the sixties, Agha has generated enough laughters for the audience. Om Prakash is over the top whereas Chandrima Bhaduri as Nanda's evil mother leaves her mark.
The photography and technical aspects of the movie are up-to the mark. The picturization of Zindagi Ke Safar Mein in a boat is quite beautiful to watch in which the emotions of the song seem to be intermingling with the waves of the river and the gusts of the wind.
