Shamshad sang it with Rafi

The obsession of the Hindi film industry with the not-so-nubile age of 16 probably began with the soundtrack of Aag, and with Solah Baras Ki, in particular.

The song happened to be Shamshad Begum’s second song from the film in my collection.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by the one and only Mohammed Rafi.

It was, in fact, his only contribution to its soundtrack.

The song – which was written by Behzad Lucknavi (whose real name was Sardar Hasan Khan) – was composed by Ram Ganguly.

It was three minutes and 56 seconds long.
