सोई हुई तक़दीर को हरगिज़ न जगाना

A reflective song from Gauri (1943) whose title — a caution never to wake a sleeping destiny — gives it a fatalist, philosophical cast typical of the era's social-drama songs. It appears in the documented song list of Kidar Sharma's film, set by Khemchand Prakash with lyrics by Sharma; the surviving listings do not name its singer, so the credit is left empty.

Within Gauri's Khemchand Prakash score, this number reads as one of its sombre, introspective pieces, the fatalist lyric suggesting a slow, weighted melody rather than the film's lighter folk numbers. The precise voicing and instrumentation are undocumented in the available listings, in keeping with the patchy survival of 1943 soundtrack records.
