I am delighted to find this song from Humaayun (1945), suggested by Kamath Sir. This is exactly the type of desert songs that I love. Since I have seen very few movies from the 40s, the chance of discovering such songs is very remote.

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Just browsing on the blog, through the list of songs by film, I come across the film ‘Sangam’ from 1964. As per records, the film has eight songs, and seven are already posted here on the blog. The last entry for this iconic film and its songs is from August last year. As I paused on this list, I immediately realized what is missing. The missing song is the famous multi-lingual creation in the voice of Vivian Lobo. And friends, that was the easy part. Getting down to decipher just the four lines of non-English verses, turned out to be a multi hour marathon exercise. Don’t know why, but I just got fixed on this today, and now, after having spent a better part of the night and day, I am thinking, I should have left it alone. Or maybe not. 🙂 🙂
