It was undoubtedly (R)afine solo

If the two tracks from Dharam Veer (1977) were arranged in the alphabetical order, and the descending order of their durations, O Meri Mehbooba would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 29 seconds long.

It was the longer of the two Mohammed Rafi solos in the film*.

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

A recreated version of the song featured on the soundtrack of Fukrey Returns (2017).

(*Note: The shorter Rafi solo in the film was Main Galiyon Ka Raja Tu Mehlon Ki Rani. It was five-and-a-half minutes long.)
