This its my all time fav sad song from my all time fav oldies album- Maya (1961). People wont belive but this album is among my favs since I was in 6th class. Majrooh saab's lyrics r biggest reason. followed by Salil brilliant music.

This movie has few of my very fav songs - Tasveer teri dil me( fav rafi - lata duet), koi sone ke dil wala, ja re ud ja re, and aye dil kahan teri manzil

Salil da has used Counter melody to its best. rarely you such a marvellous use of counter melody in a single movie. chorus has been used brillantly in " aye dil kahan teri manzil ".

check the use of saxophone in " ja re udd ja re" in saxophone as well as in couter melody in the bakgrd !
IMO saxophone used is among the best such pieces in HFM. jaan nikaal deta hai !

Lata ji ke baare in kuch kehne ki jaroorat nehi...she is alys best. this is among my fav lata songs.

Song 's lyrics are my most fav for a sad song. song devoted to a totaly hopeless condition. when everything is over.

(asking the bird wats now left here??......you shd also leave me.)

Lyrics are open to corrections

Ja re udd ja re panchi
Majrooh- Lata - Salil

Sonu Bhai..this is a favourite of mine too. Added to the eloquent lyrics and excellent music and Lata's Vocals, this song is also a beauty to watch, With Mala sinha doing full justice....I post a few pics..
