jise tuu qabuul kar le (Hindi: जिसे तू क़बूल कर ले, Urdu: جِسے تُو قَبُول کَر لے) is a poignant musical number from the classic Devdas (1955) film. This Bollywood gem features Vyjayanthimala as Chandramukhi, the courtesan who performs the song in a futile attempt to distract and seduce the alcoholic, self-destructive Devdas (Dilip Kumar).
The melancholic lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi and composition by S.D. Burman, sung by Lata Mangeshkar, create a heartbreaking contrast between Chandramukhi's graceful dance and Devdas' alcohol-induced stupor. The song's title translates to "Whatever You Would Accept" - reflecting Chandramukhi's unrequited love and Devdas' emotional unavailability.
Vyjayanthimala's expressive Bharatanatyam movements and the song's haunting melody make this sequence one of the most memorable in Indian cinema history.
