Mohammed Rafi & SD Burman - solo-[No.12] : Film Baat ek raat ki

Akela hoon main  is duniya mein, koi saathi hai to mera saaya

This gem of a song is from the 1962 film "Baat ek raat ki" and is picturised on Dev anand, the lyricist being Majrooh Sultanpuri.

The film had three hit songs, one each by Mohammed Rafi, Hemant Kumar and Manna de. This song is picturised on Dev Anand, wearing a cap and riding a bicycle in a carefree manner, which only he could do and act. The song has a very hummable tune and Rafi's voice as usual is adapted perfectly to the picturisation. The song was quite popular with students in those days, while riding bicycles, commuting to their colleges.

Here is the video.  Enjoy!
