In my bid to clear the backlog of my old farmaishes, here is one song whose farmaish was given more than one year back. This song is from “Suhaagan” (1964).

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.

It was one year ago that I had discovered “Lajwanti” (1958) and I discussed most songs of this movie in this blog. But there is one song that remained unposted because I could not find a video link of that song at that time.
