What a gem of a song ! Ghulam Mohammed at his melodious best. I am sure you will find yourself humming this song over and over after you have heard it once. That is what is happening in my mind as I am putting down the lyrics and preparing this write up, the leading lines just keep playing again and again in my mind – ‘chhodo chhodo ji piyaa mera todo na jiyaa’. What a lovely composition this one is.

When the name of Ghulam Mohammed is mentioned, the mind conjures up the classical and semi classical sounds and rhythms, foremost from Pakeezaah and then from many other movies like Shamaa, Mirza Ghalib, Laila Majnu, Dil e Nadaan, Shaayar, and other such movies. And so it is a surprise to come across lighter songs and foot tapping numbers that have been composed under his baton. On first hearing, if the details are not known, one can easily attribute these songs to OP Nayyar or Shankar-Jaikishan, Chitragupt etc.
