"Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein" (Urdu: کبھی کبھی میرے دل میں, Hindi: कभी कभी मेरे दिल में खयाल आता है, English: 'Sometimes..in My Heart') is a song from 1976 Bollywood movie Kabhi Kabhie (English title: Sometimes...) directed by Yash Chopra. The title song of the film written by Sahir Ludhianvi was performed by Mukesh.

The song was recorded at Mehboob Studio of noted producer-director, Mehboob Khan, and remains one of the finest creations of both its music director and lyricist, both of whom later won Filmfare Awards in their respective categories.

This song is regarded to have been a masterpiece by lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. The original song is in literary Urdu and was in fact a poem from his collection Talkhiyan. The version used in the movie Kabhi Kabhie used simpler words.

This music for this song was composed by Khayyam and sung by Mukesh. The song was originally created by Khayyam for an unreleased film made in 1950 by Chetan Anand. The song was recorded by Geeta Dutt and Sudha Malhotra. However this song was never released.

This song features Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and Raakhee, and shot in Kashmir, during the winter season.

The original literary version was significantly modified to create a version which is more sentimental and lyrical.

Kabhi Kabhie song has another version in soundtrack, where in the opening verses are recited by Amitabh Bachchan as he does in the film, during the TV interview scene with Raakhee, and then cuts to the song playing in flashback.
