To the best of my knowledge Aziz Kashmiri was a lyricist. The MD for Sun Lo Sajan was Shyam Sunder, like other songs in the film. In fact the same tune was repeated by him a year later in the film Dholak in the Lata-Rafi duet - Aise Rasiya Ka Kya Aitbaar. Coincidentally, Aziz Kashmiri was the lyricist of the that song as well.

Of course, all the above is subject to correction. If at all, some 'Aziz' was the MD of these 2 songs, it would be Aziz Khan/ Aziz Hindi. Can someone with HFGK please confirm this?

BTW, the two remaining missing songs are:

- Hum Ne Circus Mein Naukri Kar Li - G. M Durrani
- Hum Jahan Mein Aaye Hai Aansoo Bahane - Karan Dewan

Request other members to upload the above songs.

Thanks for the info, Aditya. -S

Erum Ji

Not clear what the rare phenomenon is but here is the 3m 20s version...

1949 Lahore - Lata - Us Dil Ki Kismat Kya-ss 3m 20s 162kbps mp3

Thanks for the extended version song, Faraaj. heers. -S

[swarapriya]

Correct.

All the songs of this movie were penned by Rajender Krishan except
sun lo sajan dil ki baat....which Aziz Kashmiri wrote.

Thanks for the confirmation. I will make appropriate changes to the table. Cheers. -S

I am skeptical about "chand" being the singer of song no.2.Nor is the male voice in the last song of G.M. Durrani.

The male voice is probably S. D Batish. I think we had some discussion on HF about this where someone pointed out the Vishwas Nerurkar's book on Madan Mohan says he never worked with S D Batish, but all CDs, etc credit this song to him.
Also, Madan Mohan's site credits the Dhak Dhak song to Miss Chand (???)
Aditya

Ok. She is Chand Bala (Mrs. Chand Agarwal). Her voice can be listened in the songs:

1. Mere dard e jigar ki har dhadkan manzil ka pataa batalaati hai...nausherwan e adil and
2. Bhaagvaan jaraa dheere bol, kya main ooncha bol rahaa hoon...sharda

The male voice is neither Durrani nor S.D. Batish. The singer is pretty old at the
time when he sang this song. Batish had a very crisp and sharp voice during that
time and was relatively much younger. Nerurkar is not correct in his book when
he says that Madan Mohan never worked with S. D. Batish. In the movie Ada (1951)
composed by Madan Mohan, the song ...sab kuchh karna par mat karna pyar..is sung
by S.D. Batish and Asha Bhosle.

Maheshji, thanks for elaborating on this and making things straight. Cheers. -S

I'm sorry I got all mixed up between G. M Durrani and S. D Batish. The CD I have (Shanshad Begum Golden Collection) credits this song to G . M Durrani. S Mahesh had earlier pointed out on another post that as per VN's book Madan Mohan never worked with G. M Durrani. And Madan Mohan's website credits this song to S D Batish.

So the question remains, who is the male singer in this song?

Thanks and regards

(Meena) Lal Haveli (1944)

Here are songs from this album. All female songs are by the great one, Noor Jehan. I am not sure about the singer of the songs "Ab Raat" and "Kyon Mann". It sounds like Rafi Saab. May be someone can verify this. Thanks.

Now for the songs of "Lal Haveli" ...

(Meena) Magroor (1950)

I don't have a single song from this Meena Kumari-starrer. Per EarthNet the following are some of the songs in the movie. If anyone of you have them or others from this movie, please share. Thanks.

SP,

I don't have the complete song listing for this movie. However, I found out from a post by S Mahesh that following two songs were composed by Sajjad Hussain.

1 tumhe baaghon mein sawan ke nazare yaad karte hain- Shamshad Begum
2 toot gaya, haaye toot gaya, woh saje mohabbat toot gaya-Rajkumari, Mohammad Rafi, Shamshad Begum (3:35 \ 128)

Rest were composed by Bulo C. Rani and Ram Panjwani.

Here is one of Sajjad Hussain's compositions.

(Madhubala) Nishana (1950)

Khwaja (Khawaja) Khursheed Anwar (see the picture shown), a brilliant and legendary music director of his generation was in the music industry for 43 years. Yet he composed music for only 29 films; 12 in India, and after migrating to Pakistan 17. Born into a rich family, he went on to acquire a Masters in philosophy in education. But his passion for music was irresistible. So he decided to forego a bright civil service carrier and instead sought fortunes in the area of music.

He took lessons from eminent Ustads and became familiar with intricacies of classical music. With the credentials he sported, he had no difficulty in landing a job with All India Radio. No sooner than he started working there he was offered to work as a music director for the film “Kurmai” by A.R. Kardar in 1941.

But not until he decided to migrate to Pakistan in 1952 his significant contributions to music began in earnest. Because of his classical training, his songs were usually rich in melody and pure in ragas. His musical emphasis was on heightening the impact of emotions expressed in lyrics.

In collaboration with EMI of Pakistan, he recorded an unique collection of classical performances. This compilation, called “Raag Mala”, had a short introduction before the music demonstrating his command over classical ragas.

He provided music for great Saigal’s last movie “Parwana (1947)”. It was the film “Intezar” in Pakistan, that gave a new lease of life to Madam Noor Jehan. He also was a writer and director.

Anwar Saab had the distinction of working with many legendary names. He was a close friend of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. He worked with all of the big names from India as well as Pakistan.

Here are the songs for which Anwar Saab has provided the music for. Unfortunately the quality of these songs is not uniform. These were a gift from a friend. My many thanks to her. Most of the songs have adequate quality except for the song "Koi Kisi Se Dil Na Lagaana" by Shamshad Begum. This sounds, at least in the beginning, really awful.

Now for the songs ...
