Many of the big heroes of 1950s and 1960s owe a lot of their success to Rafi. Many movies of those days succeeded mainly because of the songs, and Rafi was the male singer in these songs.

Jo unki tamanna hai barbaad hoja

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.

I have mentioned it earlier that “Mera Saaya” was full of outstanding Lata-Madan Mohan songs that have gone on to become immortal evergreen songs. But pray which of “Mera Saaya” songs became the most popular those days? It was none of these Lata songs, or even the Rafi one.

Going by the lyrics, I have classified this song as a love song, but it appears that the love is unilateral in this song despite this being a duet.

“Ek Musafir Ek Haseena” was a movie featuring Joy Mukherjee and Sadhana. The music was by O P Nayyar and lyrics were written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan ( known more for writing lyrics for Madan Mohan). Rafi, as is his wont creates magic with his divine voice in this song.

I read many times that Bollywood movies would have songs where the boy and girl would be shown singing songs running around trees. Honestly, I have not seen any proper song fulfilling this description. On the other hand, I have seen dozens of songs where boy and girl are shown singing elsewhere, viz on car, boat, train etc. In fact, there are enough number of such songs for me to open tags like “car” song, “boat” song etc. So far I have not felt the need of having a tag for “tree ” songs, that is how elusive such songs are.
