In this blog, I post songs that I categorise into different categories. Among them, there is one artificial category of songs (not yet formalised). These are songs that were very popular in its days during my formative years. I enjoyed these songs a lot without having any clues about their details. After that these songs would be forgotten with time. After a passage of three decades or more, I would stumble upon them one again. And this time, I would get to know these songs better. As far as I and several followers of this blog in my age group are concerned, these songs were immortal songs. As least they will remain so in our psyche.

I recall listening to this song in my younger days. But as was the case with me for most songs, the only thing I knew about this song was what I heard, and no more. In other words, my knowledge of this song was confined to the fact that the song was sung by Rafi. Yes, I could identify Rafi’s voice even then. But I was not aware that songs had lyricists and music directors too. I used to think that the singer did everything !

I had never heard this song from “Anurodh” (1977). I got to listen to this song thanks to a farmaish for this song by a reader (Imdad Ahmed) of this blog.
