जाओ जाओ ना बातें करो मेहरबान

'Jao Jao Na Bate Karo Meharban' is one of the nine listed songs of Mera Khwab (1943). Its title — a coy dismissal of a sweet-talking suitor — places it in the playful, conversational romantic vein of 1940s film song. Like the rest of the soundtrack, it was composed by Ghulam Mohammed on his independent debut and written by M.E. Ashq.

From Ghulam Mohammed's maiden score, a flirtatious title of this kind would have been set to a light, mid-tempo arrangement led by tabla and harmonium — the standard buoyant idiom of the period, here under the baton of a composer whose precise sense of rhythm came from his years as a percussionist.
