A wonderfully ebullient Lata-Rafi duet, carrying all known signatures of Husnlal-Bhagatram. I love the way each antaraa sums up, with the "<abc> <xyz> rahe.n saath re".

HFGK mentions four lyricists for this movie, but fails to allocate individual songs to lyricists. The following are mentioned: Bharat Vyas, Ramesh Gupta, Gulshan Jalalabadi, Qamar Jalalabadi. Not sure who gets credit for this particular one.

The other lovely tune from this movie is Lata's "gorii gorii chaa.Ndanii aur puunam kii raat re" which has visited both LATAnjali and ATMJH in the past.
