From the above table we can see that so far only two songs from this movie ‘Chehre Pe Chehraa-1980’ have been posted on this blog. Today I present the third song from this movie on the occasion of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi’s 44th Remembrance Day. He was born on 08.03.1921 and passed away on 25th October’1980. Today we pay our tributes to him by listening to the songs penned by him.
Music director for the today’s movie ‘Chehre Pe Chehraa-1980’ is N. Dutta. We are all aware that this collaboration of Sahir Ludhianvi and N. Dutta has given us wonderful songs, and some timeless classics to savor and enjoy with. Sahir Ludhianvi -N. Datta collaborated in ‘seventeen’ movies including one song for one ‘un-released’ movie.
Here are the details of their movies together;

If we go through the list of movies (as given above), we have two movies yet to be covered with all of their songs. These two movies are ‘Dilli Ka Daada-1962’ and ‘Chehre Pe Chehra-1980’. For ‘Dilli Ka Daada-1962’ only one Sahir song is pending and this song is not available and/or difficult to find. From the movie ‘Chehre Pe Chehra-1980’ we still have four songs yet to be posted and with after the today’s song there will be three songs remaining to be posted on the blog.
Singer for the today’s song is Dilraj Kaur and this song is a lesser heard song. I do not remember to have heard it in my growing years or later or even in the recent years on radio or anywhere. I could locate only the audio of this song and I guess that this song was not included in the movie or its video is not available as of now.
Let us listen to this song which has the special poetic touch of Sahir.
