Rafi sang this ironic song

Even if Mohammed Rafi hit rock bottom, he would never Seek(h) solace in alcohol, which is why Maine Peena Seekh Liya (which could be translated to, “I’ve learnt to drink”) was ironic.

The song, from Goonj Uthi Shehnai, had a line which went, “Paap kaho ya punya kaho” (which could be translated to, “Call it a sin or a virtue”), and did go on to become paapular.

But if a horde of people begins to believe that drinking is the p(anac)e(en)a for all ills, Bharat Vyas can be blamed for penning this Vasant Desai composition.
