This is one of those few songs that Mohammed Rafi sang for Music Director Anil Biswas for the film ‘Heer’ (1956). Eight songs from this film already posted in the blog. They are all very touching song. This is a film on the legend of Heer-Ranjha, a folk lore of Punjab. Much of the folk music and poetry from this region is devoted to such legendary love stories like Heer-Ranjha, Sohni-Mahiwal and Mirza-Sahibaan. This song ‘ le ja uss ki du’aayen ho jo tera ho na sakaa ‘ is the ninth song to appear in the blog.

Heard this song 3- 4 days back on TV Rajasthani!!!!! Would you believe it I have become addicted to this channel at the 8.30 -9.00 A.M. slot. The programme is perfect to go with breakfast. It is their Bhoole Bisre Geet programme. and they have been presenting only Anil Biswas songs from the look of the last two programmes that I saw.

Despite losing his father at a very young age, he continued his education, while doing part time work to support himself. In 1936, he completed his Masters in Hindi Literature from Allahabad University.
