June 16th is Hemant Kumar's 82nd birth anniversary.
For this occasion a non-film song from this maestro.
This was a guest post that Urzung-ji had made to me
post on the Hemant-da series about 2 months ago. My
apologies that I could not post it earlier.

Guest post from Urzung Khan:

This song,from the good old days,did not 
attract as much popularity as it deserved. 
The lyrics are woven around a couple of 
universal truths and bounded into a good 
musical composition.The rendition has all 
the craftmanship of Hemant Kumar's style. 
IMO,one of his best.
