Thanks Laxmi for these lovely tandem songs. If I remember correctly I must have heard a duet too. I have not seen the movie but think that this must so.

I haven't heard a duet. I saw the movie in 1964. I don't remember much. I don't think there is a duet song by Rafi and Lata.

I too don't recollect hearing a duet version of this song. I think, this movie was made during the period when Rafi and Lata were not singing together.

Hi Laxmi & Hari Ram:

I have uploaded a duet of the above song in OurHFM since the song is at 192 kbps and clearly exceeds the upper threshold of 160 kbps as laid down in the rules of Hamara Forum. The male voice is definitely Rafi and the female voice sounds more like Lata than Suman to me. Please go over there, get a feel of the song, and give me your response to my assessment. Thanks.

Binod ji,

I saw the movie, many years ago. I only have very vague memory of the movie.

I listened to your song. In some songs Suman sounds so much like Lata; its hard to make out. I am no expert; I can't tell if it's Suman or Lata's voice. I only know that there was a period in early 60s, when Rafi and Lata didn't sing together.

Interestingly, your audio contains the missing last stanza.

rafi:
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa, din huaa tamaam
tuu bhii so jaa, so ga_ii, ra.ng bharii shaam
female:
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa, din huaa tamaam
tuu bhii so jaa, so ga_ii, ra.ng bharii shaam
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa

rafi:
(so gayaa chaman chaman, so ga_ii kalii\-kalii
so gae hai.n sab nagar, so ga_ii galii\-galii)\- 2
nii.nd kah rahii hai chal, merii baa.Nh thaam,
tuu bhii so jaa, so ga_ii, ra.ng bharii shaam
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa

female:
(hai bujhaa\-bujhaa saa dil, bojh saa.Ns\-saa.Ns par
jii rahe hai.n phir bhii ham, sirf kal kii aas par)\- 2
kah rahii hai chaa.Ndanii, leke teraa naam,
tuu bhii so jaa, so ga_ii, ra.ng bharii shaam
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa

rafi:
(kaun aaegaa idhar, kisakii raah dekhe.n ham
jinakii aahaTe.n sunii, jaane kisake ye kadam)\- 2
apanaa koii bhii nahii.n, apane hai.n to raam,
female:
tuu bhii so jaa, so ga_ii, ra.ng bharii shaam
aaj kal me.n Dhal gayaa, din huaa tamaam

Thanks for bringing this third version of the song. Did all three versions appear in the movie?
