This title song was popuLa(ta)r

The opening line of the title track of Baseraa, which released in 1981, went, “Jahan pe savera ho, baseraa wahin hai”.

It could be translated, “The nest (figuratively, home) is where the night turns to the morning after”.

The track earned Gulzar a nomination in the Best Lyricist category at the 29th Filmfare Awards, which took place in 1982.

The R D Burman composition was rendered by the one and only Lata Mangeshkar, and was the only song from the film on any of my blogs. In fact, I had skipped it by oversight earlier.
