Uma rendered this massive hit

Despite having written 3,890 blog posts over the last four years, this is my first (Aap chronology samajhiye).

And it is about the song that made Uma Devi popular – Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon.

It was from a film titled Dard, which released in 1947.

Shakeel Badayuni penned the track, which Naushad Ali composed.

Of course, a few years later, the Dard of being unable to continue singing (owing to a limited vocal range) would be far out‘weighed’ by her fine performances as a comedienne over four decades – Uma Devi was popularly known as Tun Tun.
