As with all posts on Lyricists, these posts are a compilation of my daily posts on my Facebook page Lyrical.
I hope you liked my choice of songs for Part II.
Lets begin taking up songs for Part III.
Day #19, Song #55
Din suna suraj bin
Yesterday, we took up three songs out of four that DN Madhok wrote for the 1943 Jayant Desai movie Tansen starring KL saigal in the title role with Khursheed Bano as Tani, his beloved.
Pandit Indra wrote nine other songs and those too are very nice including Diya jalao in Raag Deepak and Baraso re in Raag Megh Malhar.
Here is the last of the four songs penned by DN Madhok and composed by Khemchand Prakash.
Please enjoy KL Saigal singing: Din suna suraj bin…
Day #19, Song #56
Subah hui aur panchhi jaage
That brings us to the year 1944, the 13th year of DN Madhok’s career.
His first movie was Daasi, a Hiren Bose movie starring Najam, Ragini, Gyani, Omprakash, and Khairati.
Pandit Amarnath composed the following of his songs:
1. Subah hui aur panchhi jaage.
2. Wo din yaad karo.
3. Dekha karo Bhagwan.
4. Khamosh nigahen ye sunaati hain kahani.
5. Dhan ke khet mein na jayo mere raja.
6. Jao sajan harjai harjai balam mujhe chhedo na.
7. Kabhi le chal tu jamuna ke paar.
8. Mil ke bichhad mat jaana.
9. Tatein na rahi wo na rahe din.
10. Meri aarzoo dekh kya chahta hoon.
11. Ghar baar ujada.
12. Ho rasiya ho kabhi le chal tu.
We shall take up the first two sung by Zeenat Begum.
Zeenat Begum, a courtesan and a classical singer was the discovery of Pandit Amarnath but not in this movie. It was in the year 1942 that he found her. The first Hindi movie in which she sang was Nishani, a 1942 movie.
She migrated to Bombay from Lahore in 1944, the same year when this movie was released with her songs.
Please enjoy: Subah hui aur panchhi jaage…
subah hui aur panchi jaage chog chugan ko bhage
subah hui aur panchi jaage chog chugan ko bhage
tu bhi ghar ko aaja re mohan nain khojne laage
subah hui
dahi bilou soch soch khush hou
dahi bilou soch soch khush hou
abhi to aake sher sunake
abhi to aake sher sunake makhan mujhse mange
subah hui
subah hui aur panchi jaage chog chugan ko bhage
tu bhi ghar ko aaja re mohan nain khojne laage
subah hui
din chadh aaya man mohan nahi aaya
din chadh aaya man mohan nahi aaya
le matki mai chali khojne
le matki mai chali khojne pag piche man aage
subah hui
subah hui aur panchi jaage chog chugan ko bhage
tu bhi ghar ko aaja re mohan nain khojne laage
subah hui
Day #19, Song #57
Wo din yaad karo
The year 1944 is very important in the career of DN Madhok as we shall be taking up the most melodious songs of the movie Rattan.
However, before that we started with Hiren Bose movie Daasi starring Najam, Ragini, Gyani, Omprakash, and Khairati.
Pandit Amarnath, who had discovered Zeenat begum, a courtesan and classical singer, made her sing many songs in the movie and we took up one of them. She migrated fromLahore to Bombay in 1944 and back to Lahore in 1951.
The second song by her and the last one tonight is this.
Please enjoy: Wo din yaad karo…
wo din yaad karo wo din yaad karo
wo din yaad karo wo din yaad karo
gaav ki tori rasiya khai gaav ki tori rasiya khai
hatho me gopiya lekar aayi hatho me gopiya lekar aayi
aankh se aankh milai aankh se aankh milai
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo
yad karo wo sapna pyara hatho me hath tha tumhara
yad karo wo sapna pyara hatho me hath tha tumhara
ab mera kaun sahara ab mera kaun sahara
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo
der bhai der bhai ghar aao balma
har gaye hai ro ro ke amma
tumko hamari kasam tumko hamari kasam
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo
wo din yad karo wo din yad karo

Day #20, Song #59
Saaqi saaqi dil bujh hi gaya hai seene mein
We just took up a song sung by Amirbai Karnataki on the lyrics of Deena Nath Madhok and composition of Naushad for the 1944 AR Kardar production and directed by SU Sunny.
Amirbai Karnataki needs no introduction. She had been singing DN Madhok songs for a number of years. However, Devika Rani’s Bombay Talkies production of 1943: Kismet’s songs really made her very popular.
Of course, the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi made her very famous for adoring her Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye. He adopted the song as his favourite hymn.
The second song that I have selected for you was sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali; this being the first time she sang DN Madhok’s lyrics.
We are still one movie away from 1944 movie Rattan when she would sing Akhiyan milake jiya bharmake that I selected as one of the songs that tugs at your emotions.
Even though she was 12 years younger to Amirbai Karnataki she is counted amongst the first generation of playback singers including Amirbai Karnataki, Shamshad Begum and Rajkumari Dubey.
Please enjoy Zohrabai Ambalewali singing: Saaqi saaqi dil bujh hi gaya hai seene mein…
saaqi saaqi
dil bujh hi gayaa hai sine me
kuchh lutf nahi ab jine me
saaqi saaqi
saaqi tere jaam wo jaam nahi
kyaa rakhaa hai ab pine me
saaqi tere jaam wo jaam nahi
kyaa rakhaa hai ab pine me
saaqi saaqi
saaqi pahali si baat nahi
pahale din pahali raat nahi
jab teraa hi wo haath nahi
jab teraa hi wo haath nahi
kyaa rakhaa hai phir sine me
saaqi saaqi
ab saawan ke din bit gaye
ham haar gaye tum jit gaye
saaqi jab chhod ke mit gaye
saaqi jab chhod ke mit gaye
kuchh lutf nahi phir jine me
saaqi saaqi
dil bujh hi gayaa hai sine me
kuchh lutf nahi ab jine me
saaqi saaqi
Day #20, Song #60
Bedard zamana are
I gave you two songs from the 1944 SU Sunny movie (AR Kardar production) Geet; one each by Amirbai Karnataki and Zohrabai Ambalewali.
Here is a duet now between Nirmala Devi (actor Govinda’s mother) and Shahu Modak.
Shahu Modak was an actor singer who acted in many Hindi and Marathi movies. He played many mythological characters such as Krishna and Dnyaeshwar.
I have already given you songs from many movies with songs by DN Madhok such as Vasantysena, and Kanoon.
Please enjoy: Bedard zamana are…
bedard jamana are bedard jamana
mere dil ki duniya hai
tum duniya rachana
tum duniya rachana
do ek jalak kabhi ban ban ek dhare
roke hai jaise unki raho ke ishare
ham ishq ki baji kabhi jite kabhi hare
gate bhi rahe fir bhi mohabbat ka tarana
ye dil ki duniya hai
yaha dil dil na fasan
tum dil na lagana
rut kitni suhani hai
ghata jhumti hai
kuch dil ki tarah mast hawa jhumati hai
hansti hui kaliyo ke kadam chum rahi hai
aise me koi dard bhara geet sunana
mere dil ki duniya hai
tum duniya rachana
tum duniya rachana
biti hui rato ko jara fir se bhulakar
vo prem ki bate kabhi hanskar kabhi gakar
in mast nigaho ko
in mast nigaho ko
nigaho se milakar
ik teeer kalejhe pe aur chalana
dokhe ki ye duniya hai
yaha dil na lagana
tum dil na lagana
jinda hu apni kasame tamanna ke sahare
dube nahi ab tak meri aasha ke tare
ummid ke toofan mohabbat ke kinare
tum chaho to ho jayega mera bhi tikana
dokhe ki ye duniya hai
yaha dil na lagana
tum dil na lagana
bedard jamana are bedard jamana
dokhe ki ye duniya hai
yaha dil na lagana
tum dil na lagana

Happy Holi again.
Lets congratulate ourselves on our good luck that we have today arrived on the best movie in the career of DN Madhok and in the career of so many others associated with the movie.
From the ten songs of the movie, we have decided to take nine for three days.
If the first song tonight was given by me three years earlier in the Songs that Tug at Your Emotions, the second song was included by me as Song #100 on the day of Diwali in Raaga Based Song of the Day series.
Please enjoy the song and my write-up by clicking on the link.
Day #21, Song #63
Sawan ke baadlo unse ye jaa kaho
Happy Holi for the last time tonight.
We have come to the last song of the 1944 M Sadiq movie Rattan starring Karan Dewan and Swaran Lata.
Naushad composed ten songs of DN Madhok for this movie and they became so popular that he started charging Rupees 25000 as his fees. During those days, that was one third of the production cost of the movie!
After listening to the songs, we know what gems these are.
The third song tonight is yet another favourite of mine. It was sung by Karan Dewan for himself and Zohrabai Ambalewali for Swaran Lata.
Please enjoy: Sawan ke baadlo unse ye jaa kaho…
sawan ke badlo unse ye ja kaho
sawan ke badlo unse ye ja kaho
takdir me yahi tha sajan mere
na ro sawan ke badlo
ghanghor ghatavo mat jhum ke aavo
ghanghor ghatavo mat jhum ke aavo
yaad unki satayegi tum jhum yaha na ho
sawan ke badlo
jis din se juda hum hai
aankhe meri purnam hai
aankhe meri purnam hai
jis din se juda hum hai
aankhe meri purnam hai
aankhe meri purnam hai
ro-ro ke mai mar jau dukh teri daya ko
sawan ke badlo
chedo na hame aake barso kahi aur jake
barso kahi aur jake chedo na hame aake
barso kahi aur jake barso kahi aur jake
wo din na rahe apne rate na rahi wo
sawan ke badlo
sawan ke badlo unse ye ja kaho

Day #22, Song #65
Jab tum hi chale pardes
Today is the second day when you are enjoying the songs of 1944 M Sadiq (Kardar Production) movie Rattan starring Karan Dewan and Swarnalata.
It is high time you learn what the movie was all about:
“Govind (Karan Dewan) and Gauri (Swarnalata) have grown up together as best friends, but it is obvious that they are in love. However, there is a clash of castes as Govind is a Bania while Gauri is a Rajput. An old woman, Gangu, is particularly against their love, and suggests that Gauri marry Gangu’s own brother, Rattan. In the blink of an eye, Gauri and Rattan are married. But Rattan begins to feel guilty of ruining Gauri’s life; a girl about half his age, in love with another man.”
Here is the fifth song. This was sung by Karan Dewan for himself.
Please enjoy: Jab tum hi chale pardes…
jab tum hi chale pardesh
laga kar thesh o pritam pyara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab tum hi chale pardesh
laga kar thesh o pritam pyara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab badal ghir ghir aayenge
bite din yad dilayenge
jab badal ghir ghir aayenge
bite din yad dilayenge
phir tum hi kaho kit jaye nasib mara
dunia me kaun hamara
phir tum hi kaho kit jaye nasibo mara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab tum hi chale pardesh
laga kar thesh o pritam pyara
dunia me kaun hamara
aankho se pani bahta hai
dil ro ro ro kar ye kahta hai
aankho se pani bahta hai
dil ro ro ro kar ye kahta hai
jab tum hi ne sajan hamse kiya kinara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab tum hi ne sajan hamse kiya kinara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab tum hi chale pardesh
laga kar thesh o pritam pyara
dunia me kaun hamara
jab tum hi chale pardesh
laga kar thesh o pritam pyara
dunia me kaun hamara
Day #22, Song #66
O jaanewale balamwa laut ke aa
On the second day of taking up songs of the 1944 M Sadiq movie Rattan starring Karan Dewan and Swarnalata, we are on to the sixth song and hence on to the last of the three tonight.
This was sung by Amirbai Karnataki and Shyam Kumar for Azurie and Krishna Kumar.
Please enjoy: O jaanewale balamwa laut ke aa…
o jane wale balamwa laut ke aa laut ke aa
ja mai na tera balamwa bewafa bewafa
o jane wale balamwa laut ke aa laut ke aa
ja mai na tera balamwa bewafa bewafa
tere bin mera jiya lage na kahi bhi piya
haye lage na yad nahi chode teri
dunia andheri meri ab jau kaha
dil ko le sarka hai dard piya laut ke aa laut ke aa
dil ko le sarka hai dard piya laut ke aa laut ke aa
o jane wale balamwa laut ke aa laut ke aa
ja mai na tera balamwa bewafa bewafa

phir aur kisi se aanhk mila kar jana mujhe yad hai
jhutho se kahe bolu ja ri ja bewafa bewafa
jhutho se kahe bolu ja ri ja bewafa bewafa
o jane wale balamwa laut ke aa laut ke aa
ja mai na tera balamwa bewafa bewafa
Day #23, Song #67
Angdai teri hai bahana saaf keh do hamen
How well Deena Nath Madhok did can be viewed from the statistics so far: Starting with his career in 1932 with the movie Radhy Shyam (one year after the first talkie Alam Ara came on the Indian scene), we have gone through 332 songs from 33 movies and already I have given you 66 and with today’s songs I would have given you 69!
In the 13th year of his career, we came across M Sadiq’s (AR Kardar production) 1944 movie Rattan starring Karan Dewan and Swarnalata and I decided to do something rare: I am giving you nine out of the ten songs of the movie penned by him and composed by Naushad Ali.
My selection of next song from the movie is a song sung by Manju.
Manju Gupta acted as bhabhi to Swarnalata as Gauri after Gauri is married to an old man Rattan (Manju’s brother) because a Rajput (Gauri) shouldn’t be marrying a Bania (Karan Dewan).
Rattan, of course, is a good man. He doesn’t consummate the marriage because he feels that she deserves someone much younger than he. Gauri and Rattan remain awake. Manju, misunderstands Gauri’s yawn because of her sleeplessness and misery and sings this song; a highly insensitive song.
Hats off to DN Madhok and Naushad to have thought of this to accentuate Gauri’s extreme sadness.
Truly, if you ask me as to why am I giving you nine out of ten songs of the movie, it is because the songs are not because of the movie; the movie is because of the songs! This is what DN Madhok and Naushad were able to do.
You would rarely find a movie that has a story being carried forward because of songs.
Please enjoy Manju singing: Angdai teri hai bahana saaf keh do hamen…
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
teri uthti jawani pukare tera joban kisi ko lalkare
teri uthti jawani pukare tera joban kisi ko lalkare
dil ki dhak dhak dil ki dhak dhak ye kah rahi hai
chori chori balam yaha ana chori chori
balam yaha ana
dil ki dhak dhak ye kah rahi hai
chori chori balam yaha ana chori chori
balamyaha ana
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
man man me hame na galiya do lo
chali mai yaha se aji o o
man man me hame na galiya do lo
chali mai yaha se aji o o
koi kab tak koi kab tak aiso ke paas aye
jinke dil me auro ka ho thikana
koi kab tak aiso ke paas aye
jinke dil me auro ka ho thikana
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
jhuthi nindiya ankho me cha gayi hai
yad piya pyare ki a rahi hai
jhuthi nindiya ankho me cha gayi hai
yad piya pyare ki a rahi hai
wo jo nas nas me wo jo nas nas me bas rahe hai
ye adaye unhe bhi dikhlana
wo jo nas nas me bas rahe hai
ye adaye unhe bhi dikhlana
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
angdayi teri hai bahana saaf kah do hame ke
jana jana
Day #23, Song #68
Mil ke bichhad gayin akhiyan
I hope you are happily lapping up the songs of the 1944 M Sadiq movie (an AR Kardar production): Rattan.
Now the sad part: I shall be giving you only two more and I am sure, just like me, you will feel a void. However, the good news is that the next movie of DN Madhok: Pehle Aap also has songs composed by Naushad Ali. So cheer up!
Now let me tell you about the next song. If you listened to Ayi Diwali, you would have noticed that Karan Dewan as Govind visits her with sweets sent by her mother even though she is married to an old man Rattan.
Rattan’s people think of Karan Dewan as her brother from maika! Can you think of a greater irony?
Now, the sasural people, ask Gauri’s brother (!!) Govind to stay longer in their house. However, before returning, Govind has a sad meeting with him. Naturally, the very first thing she asks him is as to why he came to look her up when she had broken all contact with her maika. She had promised to go back to maika only after Govind too gets married!
He promises that if she was happily married, he to would. As he leaves, in a masterstroke by M Sadiq, DN Madhok and Naushad, they make a maalin sing in the voice of Amirbai Karnataki, to indirectly express Gauri’s feeling.
Being a sad song, this is a favourite with me.
Please enjoy Amirbai Karnataki singing: Mil ke bichhad gayin akhiyan….
mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
mushkil se wo din bhulaye the hamne
phir aake cheda balam ne
mushkil se wo din bhulaye the hamne
phir aake cheda balam ne
phir se dhadak gayi chatiya
dhadak gayi chatiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
rote hai naina jiya talmalaye
jao koi unko laye
rote hai naina jiya talmalaye
jao koi unko laye
kaise bitau din ratiya
bitau din ratiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
haye rama mil ke bichad gayi ankhiya
Day #23, Song #69
Pardesi balama badal aaya
With the last song that I shared Milke bichhad gayin akhiyan, the cup of my sadness got full. It is overflowing now since we have come to the last song (the 9th one out of 10) being shared by me.
However, I had thought of it already (don’t I always?). So, I have kept a joyous song from the happy days between Swarnalata and Karan Dewan.
This too was sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali that makes me leave one comment for you: in those days of Shamshad Begum and Noor Jehan and Lata Mangeshkar, just think of what Naushad could achieve with Zohrabai Ambalewali, Karan Dewan, Manju and Amirbai Karnataki! Also, just think of M Sadiq and AR Kardar achieving with Karan Dewan and Swarnalata! They made a memorable movie with unheard of cast and singers and made all of them very popular.
Please enjoy Zohrabai Ambalewali singing: Pardesi balama badal aaya…
pardeshi balma badal aaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
tere bin kachhu na bhaya ke jiya jaya
tere bin kachhu na bhaya ke jiya jaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
aise na beet jae balam jawaniya ho jawaniya
aavo tumhe sunae dil ki kahaniya ho kahaniya
dil raat din pukare haye aa ke jiya jaya
dil raat din pukare haye aa ke jiya jaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
nain bhar aayenge more jiya dole na ho dole na
bhul hai kisi se kabhi metha bol bolna bol bolna
rah rah ke teri yaad aaye aa ke jiya jaya
rah rah ke teri yaad aaye aa ke jiya jaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
garaj rahe badalwa bijali muskat hai muskat hai
aise me ruth ruth jana buri baat hai buri baat hai
fisle ye jiya tal malaya ke jiya jaya
fisle ye jiya tal malaya ke jiya jaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya
pardeshi balma badal aaya

Hindustan ke ham hain Hindustan hamara
We’ve had a veritable treat in the last three days in listening to nine songs of M Sadiq movie Rattan starring Karan Dewan and Swaranalata; the songs having been composed by Naushad who had, by this time, emerged as the best Music Director in Hindi films.
Pahle Aap was the next movie in 1944, an AR Kardar movie starring Shamim, Wasti and Jeevan.
Naushad, yet another time, composed following songs penned by DN Madhok:
1. Hindustan Ke Hum Hai Hindustan Hamara Mohammed Rafi
2. Tum Dilli Me Mai Aagre Me Mohammed Rafi
3. Bekabar Jaag Zaraa Kisaki Aulaad Hai Tu Mohammed Rafi
4. More Saiyya Ji Ne Bheji Chunri Zohrabai Ambalewali
5. Aankh Bhar Aayi Zohrabai Ambalewali
6. Tore Naina Me Jiya Kho Gaya Zohrabai Ambalewali
7. Ek Bar Unhe Mila De Phir Meri Tauba Maula Mohammed Rafi
8. Kale Kale Badal Aaye Zohrabai Ambalewali
9. Dil Me Aag Lagane Wale Zohrabai Ambalewali
10. Aa Jaa Kahi Door Chale Zohrabai Ambalewali
11. Bekhabar Jag Zara (Part 2)
Now for the first time you would have noticed some of DN Madhok – Naushad Ali songs having been sung by Mohammad Rafi. Rafi’s first song was in the same year composed by Shyam Sunder for Gaon Ki Gori: Aji dil ho kaabu mein to dildar ki aisi taisi, a duet with GM Durrani.
Therefore, Hindustan ke ham hain Hindustan hamara was his first solo and first song with Naushad. Worth listening to.
Please enjoy: Hindustan ke ham hain Hindustan hamara…
hindustan ke hum hai hindustan hamara

Tum Dilli main Agre mein
We have just started listening to songs from the 1944 AR Kardar movie Pahle Aap starring Shamim, Wasti and Jeevan. Eleven of these songs were composed by Naushad including the first ever song of Mohammad Rafi with Naushad.
The second song too has been sung by Mohammad Rafi and Shyam Kumar.
Please enjoy: Tum Dilli main Agre mein…
tum dilli main aagra dil se nikle haye fasla
fasla sau kosh ka hum me sawan bito jaye
tum bhi sache main bhi sachi
badal ghir ghir aaye
meri ma meri maa ye na samjhe
chhore ka dil sau bal khaye
dekh mar jaye na tera sajan kahi
kya kahu main piya bat bas ki nahi
maa ko dam deke aa jao
meri kasam jiya chain paye
meri maa meri maa ye na samjhe
chhore ka dil sau bal khaye
meri maa meri maa ye na samjhe
chhore ka dil sau bal khaye
tum dilli mai aagre dil se nikle haye fasla
fasla sau kosh ka humne sawan bito jaye
tum bhi sache main bhi sachi
badal ghir ghir aaye
meri ma meri maa ye na samjhe
chhore ka dil sau bal khaye
aas roti hai aur dil paresan hai
tera sajan koi dam ka mehman hai
aake surat dikha jao meri kasam
kale badal aaye
aake surat dikha jao meri kasam
kale badal aaye fasla fasla sau kosh ka
hum me sawan bito jaye fasla
fasla sau kosh ka hum me sawan bito jaye
tum dilli mai aagre dil se nikle haye fasla
fasla sau kosh ka humme sawan bito jaye
tum bhi sache mai bhi sachi
badal ghir ghir aaye
meri ma meri maa ye na samjhe
chhore ka dil sau bal khaye

phir meri tauba ab to lagi bujha de
aji dil ki lagi bujha de phir meri tauba maula

ek bar unhe mila de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba ab to lagi bujhade
aji dil ki lagi bujha de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba
tum hardum nind me hum aur jagana tera
rat ko loriya de deke sulana tera
yaad aata hai to dil roke yahi kahta hai
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba
ab to lagi bujha de aji dil ki lagi bujha de
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba

Angdayi teri yaad mein
I am sorry for the long break caused to a large extent by difficult times that we are passing through. But, here I am, hopefully to stay.
His only movie in 1945 was Shirin Farhad. It was the second time a movie with this name was made. The first time it was made was in 1931, the second talkie movie after Alam Ara.
The story of Shirin Farhad owes to Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. He wrote a fictional love story between Shirin who was later to become the queen of Persia and Khosrow. Nizami Ganjavi also wrote Laila Majnu.
The movie was directed by Prahlad Dutta and starred Jayant, Ragini, Gyani, Gulam Mohammad and Zahur Shah.
Pandit Amarnath and Rasheed Attre composed following songs penned by Deena Nath Madhok:
1. Aramaanon Ki Basti Men Shamshad Begum
2. Mai Kya Hu Bhala Ye Batao
3. Sun Baat Kisi Mastane Ki
4. Ye Mere Pyar Ka Ghar S. D. Batish, Shamshad Begum
5. Angdayi Teri Yaad Mein
6. Shokh Aankho Mein Kalikh
7. Tu Nahi To Aasra Mujhko
Please enjoy Shamshad Begum singing: Angdayi teri yaad mein…
