A duet this time..of course with Lata. Anyone who disagrees with my claim that "Lata-Hemant combo is one of the very best", please, listen to this song and then come and talk to me. Lata, as was usual in that period, sounds exquisite. One of the admirable qualities of Lata is that she will never overdo a emotion (aur unnecessary-nakhre to wo apne nagmon mein bilkul nahi daalti..thank god!:)). Neither will she underdo them. (and I refuse to accept any disagreements about this, so please dont bother) with this. Just the right amount of everything is what you get from her which makes her songs appealing. So is the case with Hemantda. I forget the pstats of this song. But Hemantda himself could be the composer... It is very much in his style.. but the way the duet is formatted is very typical of SDB too..Maybe it is my bias that "no one makes duets like SDB" that inclines me towards him as a possible MD...A fascinatingly romantic song...the lyrics of the last stanza are very cute portraying the possessiveness and protectiveness that are a part of love. Enjoy the song..

Another unusual attribute of this duet is that the pattern that the male-female singers follow varies with each stanza...normally in duets they follow the same pattern. It is easy to note the LHLH, HLLH, LLHL pattern in the 3 stanzas.. This makes the song even more endearing...
