        Song: Ai Saba~~ Unse Keh Zara,  Kyun  Hame  Beqaraar  Kar
Diya~
                Dil Hama~ara, Jaan Se Pya~ara, Tum Pe  Ye  Nisaar
Kar Di`ya~~ ...

        Film:   Alibaba Aur Chalis Chor (1954)
        Music:  S N Tripathi + Chitragupta
        Lyrics: Raja Mehndi Ali Khan?
        Singer: Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi
        *ing:   ?

I know only one song from this film. But what a song!  There  are
few  such  songs where Rafi sounds so sweet. Asha's natural voice
helps this romantic number in a big way too. Going by  the  tune,
this  one is predecessor of 'Zumati Hai Nazar' in that gener, but
in my opinion is superior. Well, my honest belief about the  real
music  composer  of  the  song is S N Tripathi. I am unwilling to
give credit to Chitragupta. Although 78 rpm record credits it  to
both,  not making any distinction between them. I suppose in Geet
Kosh, this information might have been recorded very clearly.

Well, from next post onwards I will post about Roshan's songs for
two weeks.
