A very beautiful song.The golden voice of Rafisahib is astounding.I love
the filling by the mandolin or the guitar. Can anyone tell me who played
those lovely filling pieces inbetween.The music was by Shankarjaikishan.

Lawrence Noronha on June 18, 2008
A very sultry song by Rafi. Loved it as a teenager (still do).

ansab1 on June 21, 2008
This is the forgotten side of Mohd Rafi sahib - this song shows up the
1960's for what they were - a time of romantic music and romantic voices -
in this romanticism - Mohd Rafi's voice was the KING of them all !

minimal orchestration, and only the beautiful voice of Rafi----------

Mohd. Rafi is a very versatile singer who could sing in any mood. He is the
singer of Millennium.

top song dost, wah gee wah rafi saab ki kya baath hai

Tony Mohanty on January 18, 2010
During shooting of this film in 1969, Saira was busy in completing her
already signed films. So she lived far away from Dilip Kumar who was 47
then. She was having a really hot & romantic time with her paramour
Dharmendra. Saira exposed her entire body (including her V.A.G.I.N.A) in
SAAZISH. She was spending time in the locations wearing bikinis, shorts &
bra roaming around in the hotel, sea-beach with Dharmendra who used to
tightly hold the stunningly gorgeous Saira like his wife.

N H on February 08, 2010
thanks for the upload.What a lovely song!

Tony Mohanty on February 13, 2010
Yeah. Off course. But in those days she was independent to the extent of
choosing his favorite men such as Dharmendra & Joy Mukherjee to simply have
momentary pleasure from physical relationships.

Tony Mohanty on February 13, 2010
Saira Banu & Dharmendra were never in love. They enjoyed the physique of
each other. Saira used to get immense pleasure to be F.U.C.K.E.D by
Dharmendra and Dharmendra was extremely fond of Saira's Milky Complexion,
Beautiful Face & Figure and Ultra-modern Mannerisms.

Ramananda Kumar Janamanchi on May 02, 2010
One such song where Md.Rafi's mesmirizing voice will leave the listeners
breathless.

MrRagbag on July 09, 2010
Rafi saab is amazing. So much passion is conveyed in his voice. Such a
voice will never be heard in lifetimes.

suman hunjan on July 31, 2010
It is not easy to select favorite song of Rafi all his songs are superb

Hindi songs are popular among Malaysians as well. A Malaysian singer,
Sharifah Aini, recorded a version of this song in Malay in the late
seventies.

Pralhad Phadnis on March 11, 2011
Minimum music, Rafi saheb has done magic with his voice. This is pure
melody.

Oh the moon is high and you're so glamorous
And if I seem over amorous
Lady what can I do
The night is young and I'm in love with you

Ultimate romance in singing as well as picturisation apart from mohd rafi
ji's golden voice saira bano ji singing is too good lovely lyrics by
shailendra and music also too good

Vinay Hegde on August 01, 2015
The great Rafi's voice is suffused with romanticism in this song. What a
pleasure to listen to it!

Indrajeet Mukhopadhyay on October 05, 2015
Legendary Rafi had his voice steeped in romantic passion.

ASHHOK RAZDAN on November 17, 2015
One of the best songs of my choice. A wonderful and meaningful lyrics;
above all sung by the golden voice of Late Mohd Rafi with melody dialogue
of Saira Banu.
I had put 1 minute clip of this song in a DD teleserial, MAZAAR KAY PHOOL,
as writer and Associate Director.
