MisS Mangeshkar was the singer

The subject of this post happened to be a song from a film that released in 1975, but I first heard it in the 1990s, on a television show that played retro songs.

The song in question was Shaam Suhani Aayi, and it was from Zinda Dil.

Its four words went, “Khushiyan banke pehli baar”.

To be honest, it was, ironically, the last two words that reminded me of the song recently.

Mahendra Kapoor and Shailendra Singh joined Lata Mangeshkar behind the microphone for it.

Verma Malik wrote the song, which was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
