Oh, he sang so many songs with Geeta Dutt?
Though it's not a duet, I think, manna Dey sang Ina group song along with Geeta and Lata and Mahendra Kapoor in the song, " Hai Aag Hamari Seene mein, Hum Aag Se Kheltey Jaate hain." from Jis Desh Meiin Ganga Bahti Hai.".
I'm not sure though.

Truly a great singer with sweet voice.
Mann Dey sung various beautiful songs.
"Pyar hua ikrar hua " - beautiful romantic song sung with Lata Mangeshkar.

Jahaan Main Jaati Hoon wohi chale ati ho from Chori chori is another memorable duet by Manna Dey and Lata
During the golden era of music, when a song required a high level of vocal flexibility and classical punch, the natural choice was Manna Dey. From Qawwalis (Yeh Ishq Ishq hai) to romantic duets (Pyar hua iqraar hua), fast nubers (Aaoo twist karen, Jhoomta mausam mast mahina) to patriotic songs (Aye mere pyare watan) or prayer numbers (Tu pyar ka saagar hai) -- he was the versatile genius.
