The crooner’s bitterness had (Ra)finesse

If the two tracks from Aaye Din Bahar Ke (1966) were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mere Dushman Tu Meri would be the first.

Although the song was one of the finest examples of venting it out after the beloved has betrayed her beau, it was rendered by the noblest of souls – Mohammed Rafi.

It contained a line that was, in a way, contrary to the film’s title – “Tujhpe bahar na aaye kabhi” (which could be translated to, “Hope you don’t ever see the spring”).

Anand Bakshi penned the track, which was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
