Mohammad Rafi was voice to several actors other than the heroes. These actors were mainly in a comic role but the importance of their role can be gauged from the fact that the directors used to have one song filmed on them. Johny Walker and Mehmood were two such actors. Rafi sahab too sang for them with fun and frolic. The songs for Johny Walker were such that one could immediately figure out that Rafi sahab had rendered the song for Walker. 'Aye Dil Hai Mushkil" is one such outstanding song that is immensely popular in present times as well. Full credit goes to Geeta Dutt as well who rendered her part beautifully.

There is an anecdote about the making of this song in Wikipedia which goes on like this: "In an interview, the famous harmonica player Milon Gupta (1933-1995) recounted how 'Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan' ('Ae Dil Hai Mushkil') was composed. Gupta, who was then the music arranger for O.P. Nayyar would often play short tunes on the basis of which O.P. Nayyar would compose entire songs. One day, Gupta, Guru Dutt, O.P. Nayyar and Majrooh Sultanpuri were at Famous Studios, and Nayyar asked Gupta to play a tune that he had played for him earlier. Gupta played it and Sultanpuri immediately penned the lyrics for the song. Gupta played the harmonica in the actual song too. However, the tune is not original but rather from an American folk song 'Oh My Darling, Clementine'."

Please use headphone/earphones to get the real feel of the rendition.

Lyrics:

Aye Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Ha Haa, Ha Ho Ho, Ho Hi Haa Ha Haa
Hm Hm Hm Hm, Hm Hm Hm, Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm
Aye Dil Hai.

Kahin Building Kahin Traame, Kahin Motor Kahin Mill
Milta Hai Yahan Sab Kuchh Ik Milta Nahin Dil) (x2)
Insaan Ka Nahin Kahin Naam-o-nishaan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Aye Dil Hai.

Kahin Satta, Kahin Patta Kahin Chori Kahin Res
Kahin Daaka, Kahin Phaaka Kahin Thokar Kahin Thes) (x2)
Bekaaro Ke Hain Kai Kaam Yahan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Aye Dil Hai.

Beghar Ko Aawara Yahan Kehte Has Has
Khud Kaate Gale Sabke Kahe Isko Business) (x2)
Ik Cheez Ke Hain Kai Naam Yahan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Aye Dil Hai.

Bura Duniya Woh Hai Kehta Aisa Bhola Tu Na Ban
Jo Hai Karta Woh Hai Bharta Hai Yahan Ka Yeh Chalan) (x2)
Tadbeer Nahin Chalne Ki Yahan
Yeh Hai Bombay, Yeh Hai Bombay, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Aye Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
Aye Dil Hai Aasaa Jeena Yahan
Suno Mister, Suno Bandhu, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan

Aye Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahan
Zara Hat Ke Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan
