There are many sides to the great Kishore Kumar that we never see and because we miss so much of him, especialy the achingly sweet composer, the superbly sensitive poet, the . This is that side of him in a song that he both wrote and composed for an unreleased film called Neela Asaman...

Akela hoon main is jahan mein
Akeli meri dastaan
Na manzil koi, na saathi koi
Jane kya yeh nila aasama
Kya khabar, kya pata
Jaa raha hoon mein kahan

Meri raat ka ek saathi
yehi chand ka caravan
Chaloon toh chali, rukoon toh ruki
Jane kya yeh nila asaman....
Kya khabar, kya pata
Jaa raha hoon mein kahan

Mera humsafar mera saaya
mera meherbaan raazdaan
na iska koi, na mera koi
Jane kya yeh nila asaman
Kya khabar, kya pata
Jaa raha hoon mein kahan
