@crazyoldsongs Previously I was knowing only two songs - "kisi ne apna
banake mujhko" and "yaad kiya dil ne",but on introduction to YouTube I came
across this song and video. It has proved number one choice in the movie
for reasons mentioned by you. This also draws memory to learned Prof. Vipan
Chandraji often citing Shelly -"sad is beautiful". I simply agree. Thanks
for critical appreciation.

In fact Talat ji had mentioned at the beginning of a live performance at
Shanmukhananda Hall, Bombay (which I had the GREAT fortune of attending)
that the first line of this song embodied the very essence of his approach,
and that's why he chose to sing so many "sad" songs.

I am delighted to know your mentioning Talat Mahmood saying about the first

We are most fortunate with his approach. Thank you for excellent comment.

You were lucky to have heard and seen Talat "live", sir. I did not belong
to that era, sadly. However, I had the good fortune of interviewing him in
1993 at his home in Juhu. Needless to say, it was a revelation and an
honor, to be in his presence. I heard the original recording "chal ud ja re
panchi" sung by Talat, which was later used in the film with Rafi's voice.
I spent 2 hours which were like "do pal".

Beautiful lyrics of Shailendra in beautiful voice of Talat Mehmood and Shankar Jaikishan's music. It is said that this song happened to be the most favourite song of Shailendra Saheb himself among the innumerable songs that he had written of very high quality. He is at the top in the list of my favourite lyricists.
