"Kya kabhi savera

Laata hai andhera ?

Sookhi siyahi
Deti hai gawaahi"

  The fact that this song stood out against the backdrop of two new released from Rahman (Mariyan and Raanjhnaa) in the recent past, should hopefully give you enough curiousity to listen to this song at least a couple of times. Lyricist and singer Amitabh Bhattacharya sings this melodious song against the canvas of canvas of familiar instruments. The song is slow without being cloying, breezy without being shallow, deep without being overbearing. Its a fine delicate balance, and it helps that the minimal orchestrization makes it sound like someone singing at a light music competition with a guitar in hand. Enough words, go listen to it!
