तुम हंस दो दिल की रानी

'Tum Hans Do Dil Ki Rani' is one of seven songs from Pritam (1942). The title — addressing the beloved as 'queen of the heart' and asking for a smile — marks it as the film's romantic centrepiece, a serenade in the affectionate mode that anchored social-romantic films of the era. Lyrics by director Mohan Sinha, music by Bhojak.

As the score's romantic high point, Bhojak's setting would likely have favoured a gentle, lyrical melody over a soft tabla pulse, with melodic instruments — sitar or harmonium — shadowing the vocal line, in the intimate serenade idiom that defined the love songs of early-1940s social cinema.
