Song: Zumati Hai Nazar Zumataa Pyaar
Ye Nazar Chhin Kar Le Gayi Qaraar
Film: Hatim Tai (1957)
Music: S. N. Tripathi
Lyrics: Raja Mehndi Ali Khan
Singer: Mohammad Rafi, Asha Bhonsle
*ing: Jairaj, Shakeela
Is this a case of S N Tripathi turning his face to west ?! I
don't know. But, I always wonder, if there was any inspiration
from there, while coming up with this marvelous song. One can
find quite a few western instruments in the song. Other striking
part is singing of Asha - who sings quite high, creating a good
contrast, as Rafi sings low. Amazing composition.
Then, we have Mohammad Rafi, singing a very famous song:
Parvardigaar-E-Aalam, Tera Hi Hai Sahaara. A perfect example for
communal harmony!
