@jagjitisher - Excellent comment, in deed!

Sad songs are always beautiful - so goes a saying from eminent English poet P B Shelly; this is re-iterated by our esteemed YT friend Prof. Vipan Chandra ji (chamogaa); this is my experience as well.

Mohammad Rafi legend of our time excelled in all genres of singing, including sad songs.

Shammi Kapoor always remembers him for his singing brought the star to great stature.

Beautiful song and a real tribute to legend Rafi Sahab.

Thanks for making available.
