This is a song from LAJAWAB-1950. Anil Biswas was the Music Director. By 1950, he had been in the Hindi film industry for about 15 years. He was hailed as the original composer and also the senior most one to be called “Bhishma Pitamah” of the HFM. He had attained fame, name, money, love and position in the industry, but one thing always bothered him and that was that, he had not been able to compose any song for Saigal or Noorjehan.

The Voice of Mukesh #19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘Do Dil’ from 1947, turned out to be quite a bonanza for Mukesh. Thus far, the film 1945 ‘Pehli Nazar’ had been good, with four songs by him. In this film, Pt. Gobindram got Mukesh to sing as many as six songs. Three of these are solo, and three are duets – two with Suraiyyaa and one with Rajkumari. Two solos and two duets are already represented on this blog. With this post, I bring to this blog, the third remaining solo song by Mukesh, for your listening pleasure.

Than some days ago I chanced upon a link of Radio Cylon Rafi special programme on 31/07/2012. This song was the first to be played in that programme. I thought I know the song, so it must be posted. Lekin, jab song blog mein nahin milaa to iss ko aur andhere mein rakhnaa na insaafi hai.
