पी मस्ताने जी मस्ताने

A lighter, intoxication-themed song from Irada (1944) — its title pairs a tipsy beloved with a tipsy heart, the mastana ('carefree, intoxicated') mood that pleasure-songs of the era loved. As across the soundtrack the music is Pandit Amarnath's and the lyrics Aziz Kashmiri's; the catalogue entry records the title and credits without a singer.

For a mastana number Pandit Amarnath would have brought the dholak forward alongside the tabla to lift the tempo and give the song a swaying, festive lilt. The harmonium-led melody would have stayed buoyant and repetitive enough to ride the carefree refrain, in the lighter, rhythm-driven vein of the period's pleasure-songs.
