Raat Christmas ki Thi..


Jingle Bells Jingle Bells..


During his lean phase of late 80s, RD collaborated with Gulzar & Asha for one of the finest albums of non-film Hindi songs - Dil Padosi Hai.

The album, true to the standard of all three artists, was critically well-acclaimed. In the years, when Hindi film music was going through one of its worst phase - of a factory style production, the album raised the bar with its content & style both. More importantly, it provided an outlet to RD's creativity - which was being denied to him due to the changing music scenes of those years.

Here is a song from this album that stands out with lovely freshly in romance kind of vocals of Asha, verse that are so different like what only Gulzar could come up with, a composition with superb orchestration & carol kind of chorus - giving the song that perfect Christmas flavour. 
After all, it was "Raat Christmas ki thi"...

Tum akele na the, mai bhi tanhaa na thi 
Mujh men sab khauf the
Tumako parawaah na thi 
Tum to kamasin na the
Main bhi unnis ki thi

Khubsurat thi woh, umr-e-jajbaat ki
Kyaa galat kyaa sahi
Marzi jesus ki thi

Though there is no video available, here is a link for the song:
