I wonder why all the B grade movies had such excellent music!
Of course, one really cannot call a movie in which Shabana Azmi stars to be a B grade movie, but being politically correct, we can call it “parallel cinema”.
The most unfortunate and ironical aspect of the B grade movie being neglected by the masses is that, the music, often excellent, also tends to get ignored and forgotten in due course of time.
Thanks a million for excavating these gems from the sands of time and presenting them. God knows how many such treasures still lie buried under the debris of ignorance and non nonchalance.

Please do correct the words in these lines:-
kaise iskaa karz chukaayen / maang ke apni maut ke haathon
umar ki CHOLI sii hai hamne.
Further, the correct words are:-
do dil jalte uski amaanat
usko WOHI to di hai hamne.
Thanks, love your site.

Lets face it ! these songs are rare. And anyway its not that everyone understands such rare songs. I have quite a few collection on these kind of songs. Happy to note that there are few who love these songs.

the 2nd stanza does not have the right words of the original poem by amritapritam…
It is not “do dil jalte…”
it is.. “rozey ya jalsey uski amanat usko wahi to di hai hamne.. ”
Rozey = days of fasting, Jalsey = days of celebration….makes sense right?
the rest of what you have written is correct – thanks.

I would like to make a correction in the lyrics of this great song. In second stanza the correct words are ” roz e azal se uski amanat.” ( the day of beginning ) instead of ” do dil jalte”. Hope you will make correction,

Didn’t know that this song was posted here till today!! It is one of best songs sung by Asha Bhonsle. After hearing the song and seeing the film(in the 70s!!) I rushed to Rhythm House to buy the record. Sadly, they only had the LP which only had Khan Sahab’s music not the song. In the 80s when Harmandir Singh came to Ahmedabad, I asked him whether an EP was issued with this song. He wasn’t aware of it. As luck would have it HMV released a 2 pack cassette set around that time which had this song.Later, I heard it in Anmol Phankar too. Now here with lyrics, comments, et al. Many many thanks.
