This is the second duet that Lata has with Trilok Kapoor in 'raagrang'. Lata sings this in a 'chhed-chhad', bubbly voice and Trilok Kapoor sings his part in a melancholic voice. There was some talk about two-paced songs last week. This one fits right in. My favorite part of this song is right after TK completes explaining, in his somber tone, why he couldn't make their rendevous, Lata retorts with 'milna ho to rajaji milne ke lakh bahane...'. If only all complaints were so sweetly registered:-) 

A very catchy tune, I have been humming this since morning and can't seem to get it out of my mind. 

Here are the lyrics:
