Rafi rendered (Sum)an outstanding number

Based as it was on a sweet raga, Ajhun Na Aaye Balma – the only song from Sanjh Aur Savera* (1964) on this blog – could not be found (Madhu)vanting.

It could be translated to, “The monsoon is coming to an end, but my lover hasn’t come yet.”

The track, which Hasrat Jaipuri penned, was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

It was rendered by the one and only Mohammed Rafi, who was joined behind the microphone by Suman Kalyanpur.

(*Note: The film marked Guru Dutt's last film appearance. He died later that year, at the age of 39.)
