The genial Rafi was ‘foe’cussed

On listening to this track, I was tempted to remark, “Chill man, there’s no need to be so dramatic. It is just a song (but a beautiful one, nonetheless).”

The song in question was Yeh Jo Chilman Hai, from Mehboob Ki Mehndi.

Anand Bakshi penned the track, which was four minutes and 32 seconds, and referred to the ‘foes’ of the male protagonist – the chilman (screen), the leading lady’s aanchal (veil), her gensu (tresses) and his dhadkan (heartbeat).

The song, which was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal, was rendered by the one and only Mohammed Rafi.
