One fine day, I will count all the Rafi songs that he sang for Shammi Kapoor and find out how many such songs were there in all. There just seems to be so many of them. And all of them are so wonderful to listen to. Listening to these songs is a perfect recipe to cheer oneself up.

I have read a lot about this song called “Hum matwaale naujawaan”. I was not much aware of this song. In fact, there is another song with similar lyrics sung by Rafi and Mukesh from a 1961 movie which itself is called “Hum matwaale naujawan”. But this song “hum matwaale naujawaan” is from an earlier movie called “Shararat” and is sung by Kishore Kumar.
