This particular song is one that is a much liked song, but I doubt if too many people would be able to explain why they like this song. True, Rafi’s voice is as divine as ever, and Laxmikant Pyarelal’s music is always great, but how many of them are able to understand the lyrics ? Personally, I have little idea what the lyrics mean.

“Dosti” (1964) was a Rajshri production movie that had an idealistic and moralistic storyline. But the movie is today known for its music. Just about every song ( most of them Rafi solos) went on to become immortal songs. It is difficult to pick the best of them, and I advise that one should avoid the temptation to rank them, and instead one should just enjoy listening to them.
