This Rafi solo was inviting

Aana Hai To Aa – the subject of this post – was the seventh song from Naya Daur (1957) in my collection.

Alphabetically, the song, which Mohammed Rafi sang, was the first song from the film in my collection.

And according to its title, it was, literally, inviting.

It also drove home the fact that that, “Bhagwan ke ghar der hai, andher nahin hai” (which could be translated to, “In God’s abode, there may be a delay, but there is definitely no darkness”).

The song, which was written by Sahir Ludhianvi, was composed by O P Nayyar.
