This Rafi-Geeta Du(et(t) was amazing

Only a wordsmith of Majrooh Sultanpuri’s calibre could have written, “Mohabbat kar lo, jee bhar lo, aji kisne roka hai. Par bade gazab ki baat hai, is mein bhi dhokha hai” (Hey, who has stopped you from loving me to your heart’s content? But isn’t it interesting that there’s a risk in this too?)

The Aar Paar track, rendered by Mohammed Rafi and Geeta Dutt, is a conversation set to music by O P Nayyar.

Without an iota of doubt, it is the beloved’s suggestion – “Duniya chhod do” (Leave the world) – that takes the cake.
