As sad songs go, this song must rank among the saddest and most poignant. Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics sum up the situation with the force of a well oiled sledge hammer.

“Aadmi aur insaan” (1969) had Ravi’s music. When I looked at the list of songs that I have posted from this movie, I found that I had posted just one song, and that too a “lesser” known one.
