Presenting the song in response to the farmaish posted by Lalitha ji.
Stree (1961) is another classic creation by the legendary V Shantaram. The film depicts the story of Shakuntala and Dushyanta (from the epic Mahabharat). For V Shantaram, this was a remake of his earlier film Shakuntala (1943). Interestingly, the earlier film was made with Jayashree (mother of Rajshree) in the role of Shakuntala. At that time, Jayashree was married to V Shantaram. The 1961 remake featured Sandhya in the main role, and after divorce with Jayashree, Sandhya was now the wife to V Shantaram, who himself re-enacted the role of Dushyanta in the movie.

Most music lovers love to listen to light songs and run away from songs based on classical music. I certainly belonged to that category of music lovers who ran away a mile from classical music.

It is often said that one needs to use heavy duty Urdu words to come up with romantic ( as well as other kinds of) songs, and people agree. But the facts are, most of the lyricists in the formative years of Bollywood movie songs were more familiar with Urdu and they created such songs using words they were more comfortable with. Listeners who were not familiar with Urdu were often clueless about many words in these songs. Many listeners, such as yours truly, did not know what words like “ulfat”, fitrat” etc meant. People would guess about the meanings of these words in the context of the topic. Sometimes their guess would turn out to be correct, and sometimes not.

This song from “Stree” (1961) comes as a whiff of fresh air to me. It is so refreshing to see a Bollywood song from a lyricist who knew the topics he was writing about. Bharat Vyas, who mostly wrote songs in mythological movies, knew his mythology well. Moreover, he was one of the few lyricists at that time (Pradeep being the other) who used textbook Hindi words in their lyrics.
