Man, it was (R)afine song!

Validation from industry stalwarts (in a popular magazine) aside, one must truly have a positive outlook towards music to appreciate Man Re Tu Kaahe Na Dheer Dhare – rated the best Hindi film song of all time.

Based on Raga Aiman, the song, which Roshan composed, was rendered by the one and only Mohammed Rafi.

It was the only track from Chitralekha (1964) on this blog.

Its opening line – which was penned by Sahir Ludhianvi, and a paraphrasing of a couplet by Tulsidas – could be translated to, “My dear mind, why don’t you hold your horses?”
