Sahir, who was renowned
for championing the cause of the underdog,
penned Sar Jo Tera Chakraaye from Pyaasa.
So it wasn’t
surprising that it was noted for the use of everyday L(udhianv)ingo (in contrast
to the poetry that was the soul of the other songs on the film’s soundtrack).
Both the evergreen
track (which was picturised on the jovial Johnny Walker and was four minutes and
33 seconds long) and the cry of “Tel
Maalish” (massage using oil) went on to become iconic.
It was composed
by S D Burman and rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
