@kishwar45 sahib, you expressed my feelings. Such songs are here to remain, God bless those creators who created such pearls.

Jagjit Singh Ishar on June 03, 2010

compose.i wonder who assisted him?

Munib Samir on January 28, 2011
As a whole, no doubt, it is a classic.

@atulks i can't figure out the lighting here for me they being in dark is
bad pray explain but the music is out of the world in fact the whole
picturesqueness is unique

hussna banno on June 27, 2011
@atulks i've watched this song so many x but didn't notice the lighting
until now...the lightining is tricky the other dancers are in the
silhouette but the background ordiances are in the light.. amazing yes out
of this world

Here is a literal translation of this classic lyric written by Shakeel Badayuni:
Part I:
O, my sweetheart I won't be able to sleep tonight;
Heard night stays awake in your company.
The whole night will pass like that with eyes wide awake;
Heard night stays awake in your company.
The whole night will pass like that with eyes wide awake.
The sweetheart is here and the beautiful evening and cupfuls of love;
Fortunate is the one who also takes revenge.

orientlover1 on July 06, 2011
Part II:
The merriment of this party is for the whole night;
Why to think of the morning so soon then.
Your splendid sight and your face, what else is wanted for the eye;
Tonight your unveiled face will certainly show its colours.
One who is devoured by love cannot utter a word of complaint;
This is an alley where heart can never remain safe.
Is there anyone whose world has not been devastated?
Is there anyone who does not have a sigh on his lips?

orientlover1 on July 06, 2011
Part III:
The heart will surely fall in love with the beauty, there is no way to escape;
The life will be robbed at first sight today.
Heard night stays awake in your company;
O, my sweetheart I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Minoo Mumtaz's real name was Malika Mumtaz. She married S. Ali Akbar on 6-12-1963. Akbar had directed Mahmood's film Chhote Nawab in 1961 during which he and Minoo became friendly. Her present whereabouts are not known. She should be in her mid seventies, if still alive.

An absolute A+. Hemant Kumar & Asha at their respective best!!

It is amazing to capture flavour of the history of zamindari period.

Minoo Mumtaz is performing in this song !

u r right sir

R C Pant on July 30, 2012
Apart from everything great about the song, let us remember it was Guru
Dutt's film. He was among most sensitive actor cum directors of Hindi
Cinema. His all films are all time classic. Unfortunately he was extremely
sensitive and died early.

Pradip Garde on August 11, 2012
Beautiful picturisation, great composition and golden voice of Ashaji.

Tariq Choudry on August 26, 2012
Use of jaltarang is superb

rasitha perera on October 20, 2012
the original choice for the main role was shashi kapoor ji but he could not
appear due to problems in dates therefore guru dutt ji acted himself.

Noor S on November 18, 2012
EXTRA ORDINARY CINEMATOGRAPHY..THE WHOLE PACKAGE IS GOOD..

nandi4crc on December 31, 2012
this belongs in any list of top Hindi filmi songs!

arvind ketkar on January 08, 2013
one of the best of best composition in mujaras of m d hemant da hats off
,uncompareable,

dhanesh shastri on April 04, 2013
Its because of the Man behind this ... named the Legend Guru dutt Ji ...
the best in business ... the film institute in himself.

gopal sinha on April 16, 2013
An evergreen song with all the beauties of old days ciassical mujras.

Kamalakant Chitnis on April 16, 2013
How come this song appears in this vedio of Madhubala? Guru Dutt Madhubala
song in Mr and Mrs 55 should have been there. Some grave mistake. This
excellent song of Guru Dutt's light and shade cinematography is a gem
though and Hemantda's sweet composition and Minu Mumtazes's great mujara
and Asha's wonderful song!

Superb song based on Raag Bhairavi.

Arun Sareen on July 03, 2013
fabulous !!! What music and what complimentary dance moves by Meenu Mumtaj
I have never seen such a decent mujra, no vulgarity at all. Yes true Guru
Dutt ji was master in using light & shade, despite being B & W I did not
miss colour.

Ashwin Nagarkar on July 11, 2013
Gurudutt saab wes excellent director. once shooter arranged all sets and
was ready to shoot, but Gurudutt came and saw other side actress were not
good looking. So arranged the chaddar as fan (its called Chandava in
marathi). And covered their faces. So its look good and play of light n
shadow.
