When it comes to train songs, S D Burman and R D Burman ruled the roost. Right from “Solva Saal” in 1957 till “Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai” in 1981, I can count nearly a dozen or so wonderful train songs composed by the two Burmans.

Going by the lyrics, I have classified this song as a love song, but it appears that the love is unilateral in this song despite this being a duet.

It is an incredibly romantic and sensuous song. And all this effect is created thanks to the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. And the lyrics by Shailendra are incredibly imaginative. Shankar Jaikishan’s music is awesome of course.

This song is also known as “dhal gaya din THUK ho gayi shaam THUK jaane do THUK jaana hai THUK“.

This fantastic song that has become a memorable song indelibly etched on the psyches of music lovers across the generations was a magical song when it was released in 1961. This song, picturised on Dev Anand and Sadhna has remained popular ever since. Few people have much idea about the movie ( Hum dono) or about the music director (Jaidev), but the song is one which was never forgotten, so there is no question of this song being not known to any bollywood music listener.
