        Song: Meri Nindo Me Tum, Mere Khwabon Me Tum
                Ho Chuke Ham Tumhaari Mohobat Me Ghum
              Man Ki Beena Ki Dhun, O Balam Aaj Sun
                Dil Ne Dil Ko Liya Aaj Chun, Man Ki Dhun O  Balam
Aaj Sun ...

        Film:   Naya Andaz (1956)
        Music:  O P Nayyar
        Lyrics: Jan Nisar Akhtar
        Singer: Kishor Kumar, Shamshad Begum
        *ing:   Kishor Kumar, Meena Kumari

Listening this song I wonder why Nayyar saab didn't find more for
Kishor  ?   Kishor's  was the most fresh -- a dew like, voice and
Omkarprasad has had distinction in setting most enjoyable  tunes.
And yes, his tunes were indeed quite melodious. His orchestration
was also very balanced. Some of the most sweet tunes ever, are by
him.  I  must say his usage of piano and violins has largely gone
unnoticed. He has much more than just light tunes to his  credit.
Prelude of this duet is classic example of these facts.

I guess there is one more duet of  Kishor  &  Shamshad  from  the
film,  that  I  don't  remember right now. But I will fill in the
place by adding this lovely Kishor solo, penned by Jan Nisar

        Duniya Me Muhobat Ka, Itanaa Hi Fasaana Hai
        Kuchh Ham Bhi Diwaane Hain, Kuchh Dil Bhi Diwaana Hai
        Kuchh Dil Bhi Diwaana Hai (2)

Kishor Kumar sings it in nice controlled manner, maintaining it's
joyous mood.

PS: Other  OPN,  KK  combination  came  in  Chham  Chhama  Chham.
Correct, if wrong.
