Playback’s Shahen‘shah’, Rafi, rendered it

My collection contains five songs from Love In Tokyo (1966).

Eighty per cent of those were written by Hasrat Jaipuri.

These include the subject of this post – the male version of O Mere Shah-E-Khuban*.

That, by the way, is an Urdu phrase, which could be translated to beloved.

Mohammed Rafi lent his voice to the song.

Was that even a surprise? After all, he sang the majority of the male solos in the film.

Shankar Singh Ram Singh Raghuvanshi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal composed the song.

(*Note: The female version was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.)
