Javed was in his Aliment

Ek Din Teri Raahon Mein, from Naqaab (2007), was penned by Sameer and was, undoubtedly, one of Pritam’s most outstanding compositions. 

Javed rendered a number of songs in tandem with other singers, which went on to become popular, but it was this track that gave him an opportunity to prove his mettle as a solo vocAlist.

And by no means would it be incorrect to say that he was instrumental in making it a chartbuster.

Hence the fact that the remixed version of the song was rendered by Zubeen Garg, and not him, was baffling.
