It was nothing but Ma(ngeshka)rvellous

This is perhaps the most appropriate track to conclude my series on Gulzar’s 1975 double bill.

The song was titled Ruke Ruke Se Kadam.

It was from Mausam, and the aforementioned line implied that the person stopped in her tracks, before proceeding.

That is precisely what the restless ones (or the bekaraar ones, who, according to the next line of the song, rest for a while before leaving their loved ones' homes) do not do.

The track, which was penned by the one and only Lata Mangeshkar, was one of Madan Mohan's most outstanding compositions.
