        Song: Ye Duniya Ye Duniya, Hay Hamaari Ye Duniya

        Film:   Yahudi (1958)
        Music:  Shankar Jaikishan
        Lyrics: Shailendra?
        Singer: Mohammad Rafi
        *ing:   Dilip Kumar, Meena Kumari, Sohrab Modi, ?, ?

This song is sung by a faqir on screen -- amidst mayhem,  screams
of  people  fleeing  place  -- who is not terrorised at all. Rafi
sings quite high (at  times  almost  shouting)  along  with  good
choral  effect.  This  song vis-a-vis other songs of films is not
known much (it's been forgotten). This is  second  song  of  it's
kind  from this composer pair: the earlier one being 'Ek Do Teen'
in Aawara (1951).

Film has some nice Lata solos. 'Aate Jaate Pehalu Me  Aaya  Koi',
'Aansoo  Ki  Aag  Leke Teri Yaad Aayi', Dil Me Pyaar Ka Tufaan Na
Samjhe Koi Nadan' and 'Meri Jaan  Meri  Jaan'  are  all  good.  I
suppose  the  first  one  has  Geeta  too  as  it's other singer.
Personally I like only first three from above list.

Film's best known song though, was this Mukesh gem

        Ye Mera Diwaana Pan Hai, Ya Mohobat Ka Suroor?
        Tu Ye Maane Ke Maane, Log Maanenge Zuroor

It's start is excellent. This song has a story that proves that S
and  J  were  working  quite  closely, then. I suppose it's quite
famous and won't repeat here again.
