कोयलिया पंचम में मत बोल

A solo by Leela Chitnis, the leading actress of the film, who sings in her own voice. The title — a plea to the koel not to call in the pancham note — draws on the classic Hindi-Urdu poetic motif of the cuckoo's song deepening a separated lover's longing. Composed by Pratap Mukherjee to Amritlal Nagar's lyrics, it is among the soundtrack's more plaintive, inward-looking numbers.

Pratap Mukherjee leans into the song's semi-classical pathos — the explicit naming of the pancham swar in the title points to a melodic line that dwells on that note, the koel-and-separation theme inviting a slow, raga-tinged treatment. Written for Leela Chitnis's untrained but expressive screen voice, the melody stays restrained and emotionally direct.
