Gulabi Aankhen jo Teri Dekhi..

By the time "The Train" was released, for some reason RD had decided to use only Kishore Kumar's voice for Rajesh Khanna, largely.

Of course, from 1970 till Rafi died, RD & Rafi did work together on a number of movies and gave some amazing memorable numbers - but only 3 of these were for Rajesh Khanna.

We will come to those songs later - but as a response to a friend's humorous comment regarding romancing the spouse, there are a whole lot of gems of RD out there to facilitate the romance. If, however, I have to restrict my choice to this movie, then the obvious choice, would be this number - one of the last hits of Rafi-RD-RK combine.

The location is also ideal - Observation Post Garden in Aarey, now known as Chhota Kashmir. Despite a very Shammi Kapoor / Jitendra kind of choreography, the song has an appeal, due to its lyrics and foot-tapping rhythm. So here it goes:

Bura ye jaadu teri aankho kaa
Ye meraa qaatil ho gayaa
Sambhalo mujhko O mere Yaron,
Sambhalna Mushkil Ho Gaya
Gulaabi Aankhen Jo Tero Dekhi
Sharabi yeh Dil Ho Gaya
