Classic Gulzar. Brings back memories of Ijaazat. -Sukanya

Opening music sounds like the Kofee with Karan theme music. While Prathiba Singh Baghel has a decent voice it's not chrasmatic enough to hold my attention beyond a song or two. -Shalini

The song’s soul lies in Gulzar’s recitation of the poetry. -Suanshu

Gulzar's voice didn't sound good, but what he recited was needed to provide interpretive context to the lyrics. Pratibha excels again. This song somehow brought to mind Chitra Singh's ghazals from the album Hope. -UVR

Certain songs are much greater than the sum of its parts. While individually this song has beautiful vocals, musics and lyrics, together the come and really defines the feeling of emotional introspection that it makes you feel. -Vaidehi

Pratibha’s voice lifts the song. -Pankaj

PSB's singing carries the song, otherwise feels like pleasant but meandering "Easy Listening", drags a bit. -Sanjeev

What use of gold if it cannot be moulded or cast. -Nishant

I liked the promising first lines of several verses (like 'saara din main' and 'chain aa jaye'), but the second lines fail to pack a punch. -Vishal

Pratibha is channeling Rekha Bhardwaj here, could have been much better, gulzar's not his very best but lyrics catch attention.
Aankho Se Jab Maile Maile, Aansu Behte Hai
Mere Kachche Ghar Ki Mitti Galne Lagti Hai. -Arun

The song is as free-flowing as a light, filmy ghazal and has the kind of tune that gets stuck in your mind right after the very first hearing. -Anish
