I first became aware of Prem Dhawan in 1970s as the lyricist of the immortal patriotic song Jahan daal daal par sone ki chidiya karti hai baseraa from Sikandar e Azam. This song was composed by Hansraj Bahl. Subsequently I got to hear a few more songs which were written by Prem Dhawan and composed by Hansraj Bahl.

We have discussed a couple of songs from “Teesri Kasam” (1966) recently. In the course of that discussion, I have learnt the story of the novel called “Maare Gaye Gulfaam” which was picturised as “Teesri Kasam”.
