O Maajhi Re...

Burmans - RD as well as Sachin had a special affinity to the songs with boats & 'mallahs'.

One can not forget SD's Mere Sajan Hain us paar from Bandini Or Jewel Thief's Rula ke Gaya Sapna Mera - where the music in sync with the waves, moving boat, and imaginative use of sounds like ship's horn create a melancholy of impending separation.

RD, Gulzar &Kishore combined to utilise one such situation in Khushboo to create a gem that sounds as fresh today as it was 38 years ago:

Paaniyon me bah rahe hai kai kinaare toote hue
Raasto me mil gae hai sabhi sahaare chhute hue
Koi sahaaraa majhadhaare me mile vo
Apanaa sahaaraa hai
