        Song: Ye Khushi Ka Samaa, Keh Rahi Hai Fizaan
                Aa Nigaahen Mila Ke To Dekh
              Zindagi Hai Jawaan, ??? ???? Muskaraa
                Dil Ki Duniya Basaa Ke To Dekh

        Film:   Diwali Ki Raat (1956)
        Music:  Snehal Bhatkar
        Lyrics: Naqsh Lyalpuri
        Singer: Talat Mehmood
        *ing:   Talat Mehmood, Roopmala, Shashikala, Leela Mishra

This film shows Snehal's :) talents. Has some very good songs  by
Talat  Mehmood  and  Asha  Bhonsle.  This one is the most popular
among all. It has not-so-short prelude, that opens with drums.  I
don't  know  how  many  times other than (in 'Aavo Bachchon Tumhe
Dikhaayen' genre of songs)  drum  is  used.  Song  has  extremely
pleasant interludes comprising of pipes, violins and saxophone?.

My other favourite is also a Talat solo

        Zindagi Kis Mod Par Laayi Muze
        Har Khushi Roti Nazar Aayi Muze

A melodious number, sung little high. A gazal by Naqsh.

Film also has one interesting person associated with it. And it's
one  of  the  lyricist. I had always wondered -- this man who has
written so many lovely poetries -- if he ever wrote for films ? I
am  talking  about  Madhukar  Rajasthani!   He has penned so many
songs composed by Murli Mahohar Swaroop  and  sung  Lata,  Mukesh
etc.  They  are all excellent numbers. In this film he penned one
or perhaps two songs. One is sung by Talat Mehmood and  Madhubala
Zaveri and other by Asha Bhonsle. The duet, is so-so (musically).
But Asha number 'Jeevan Beena Ko  Jab  Chhede  Man  Ke  Taar'  is
without any dispute a great. It has very pretty tabla beats.
