Following up on the earlier Jamal Sen song I posted, here's another lesser-known gem... this should ring familiar to last year's west coast meet attendees, figuring, as it was, on the "meri beena ke sur saat re" commemorative.

Songs like this seem to validate the ascendancy of Jamal Sen in the pantheon of the golden era's greatest composers ever. An absolute marvel of a tune... the tentative yet longing signoff to the mukhadaa "mera bachapan pukaarataa.." is magical,  truly.
