Pyar Jo Tumko Humse - Hatyakand by Jaykar Dehrin, Udit Narayan, Poornima

Not every song from Hatyakand lingers, but Pyar Jo Tumko Humse - Hatyakand is the one that stays. The production by Jaykar Dehrin is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The vocal on Pyar Jo Tumko Humse - Hatyakand is among the better performances Jaykar Dehrin, Udit Narayan, Poornima has committed to record. The chemistry of Javed Khan, Liara is embedded in every moment of Pyar Jo Tumko Humse - Hatyakand, making it as much a performance as a song.

1998 marked the release of Hatyakand, and Pyar Jo Tumko Humse - Hatyakand was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

At 3:54, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Hindi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
