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.)
