ye zulf agar khul ke (Hindi: यह ज़ुल्फ़ अगर खुल के, Urdu: یہ زُلف اگر كُھل کے) "Should this Lock Unravel", is a ghazal written by the Urdu poet and Bollywood lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.
It was musicalized by the music director and composer Ravi Shankar Sharma and used for the soundtrack of the Indian 1965 movie "Kaajal".
In the movie, the song is played while the male protagonist, Moti (Raaj Kumar) abandons himself to drunken revelry with a courtesan dancer (interpreted by the actress and dancer Helen), all the while picturing in his mind the female protagonist, Madhavi (Meena Kumari).
The playback singer was Mohammed Rafi
