This song from Abhilasha (1968) is not so well known like the other two featured songs on the blog here. It is a Rafi-Manna Dey duet. Roshan used this combination of voices brilliantly in his qawaalis. This song, I think is the first time that Pancham uses this pair of voices.

So how about Dara Singh actually performing a qawwaali. No, not impossible, if that is the first thought that came to your mind. This qawwaali is co-presented on screen by Dara Singh, along with Maruti and a host of junior artists.
