Geeta was in (Ra)fine form

Gareeb jaanke humko na tum mita dena was the only track from Chhoo Mantar (1956) on this blog.

Its first line could be translated to, “Don’t get me out of your mind just because I am poor”.

The song – which was penned by Jan Nisar Akhtar – could also be titled, “Tumhi ne dard diya hai tumhi dava dena” (which meant, “You have given me pain, and now you have to give me the medicine to soothe it”).

Geeta Dutt and Mohammed Rafi rendered this Nayyar cOmPosition, which didn’t vanish from Hindi film music buffs’ memories.
