Tu Hai Ki Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhagwan - Inaam by Mohammed Rafi

Some songs are made for a single moment. Tu Hai Ki Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhagwan - Inaam is made for all of them. Behind the melody is the work of S.N.Tripathi, whose composition choices give Tu Hai Ki Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhagwan - Inaam its distinctive texture.

The vocal on Tu Hai Ki Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhagwan - Inaam is among the better performances Mohammed Rafi has committed to record. Hearing Tu Hai Ki Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhagwan - Inaam without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Inaam.

Released in 1955, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

Running to 3:15, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
