This song was one of the most popular songs with one and all during its day. And as happened with me quite often those days, I was not aware about the details of this song. I could identify the voice of Rafi and Lata but that was all. In fact I did not know those days that a song had a lyricist and a music director too. I thought that the singer did everything himself/ herself. And of course I had no idea which movie it was from.

Rafi was not only gifted with a divine voice, he was also a very humble and considerate individual. He would help out struggling music directors and would sing for them virtually for nothing.

Quite a few of these songs are very nice and hummable songs.
