Namkeen (1982) tells us the story of the truck driver Gherulal (Sanjeev Kumar), who arrives in the life of an old woman (Waheeda Rehman) and her three daughters, and how his arrival changes their lives. He falls in love with the elder daughter (Sharmila Tagore), who reciprocates his love. Mitthu (Shabana Azmi) also thinks that he is in love with her and is happy since she has fallen in love with him too. Mitthu, though speech-impaired, writes poems. After Gherulal has gone, she starts spending time in the hills and writing poems. This is one of them.

This is a song from film NAMOONA-1949, sung by Lata Mangeshkar with music by C Ramchandra.
1949 was the begining of Lata-C Ramchandra friendship which lasted perhaps till she sang for him in Bahurani-1963. From Girls school 49 to Bahurani-63, the Lata-C Ramchandra partnership gave us a feast of lovely, memorable and very melodious songs.
