The  current  series  on  songs  on  philosophy(?)  ends   today.
Although,  there  are  more songs in this category, let them wait
till some future date. Today's song is from  a  film,  which  has
some excellent songs. IMO, film has most appropriate name, as far
as music is concerned -- Khazaana!

        Song: Dhire-Dhire, Dhire-Dhire Gam Ka Zamaana Gaya
                Dhire-Dhire Khushi Ka Zamaana Aaya, Ho~~

        Film:   Khazaana (1951)
        Music:  Ramchandra Chitalkar
        Lyrics: Rajendrakrishna
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar, Chorus
        *ing:   ?

I am in love with this chorus  song.  Musically  it  has  nothing
special  to  offer to , but the tune and singing is awesome. Very
sweet and freshening. Song has never ending melody in it! Really.

My other -- and equally -- favourite song from film is this great
Lata solo

        Kar De Zaraa Ishaara, Tere Naam Ka Sahaara

Lata sings it so beautifully, under some divine inspiration.  One
has  to  listen  to  believe  this.  Such  an  effortless, sweet,
perfect-singing-through-Supreme- inspiration of Lata didn't  come
to us many times. Only other such occasions I can recall are: [1]
Dil Bhi Tere Ham Bhi Tere [2] Airi Main To Prem Diwaani  etc.   A
rare incidence of highest order of devotion to music by Latabai.

One more good Lata solo from the film was

        Ai Chaand Pyaar Mera Tuzse Ye Keh Rahaa Hai
                Tu Bewafaa Na Hona Duniya To  Bewafaa  Hai...  Ai
Chaa~nd

This song, surprised me when I heard it first time; for it's high
notes.  It  was  so,  for  I  was  told that song is C Ramchandra
composition. An unusual thing for him.

Lata also sung these two very nice numbers

        Soyi Soyi Chaandani Hai, Khoyi Khoyi Raat Hai
        Naya Naya Pyaar Hai, Ye Naya Naya Pyaar Hai ...

and

        Muhobat Pe Itani Jawaani Na Hoti, Agar Tum Na Aate,  Agar
Tum Na Aate

There also exists this playful duet of Rafi and Lata: Muze Tum Se
Bahut Hai Pyaar, Nahi Ji Zara Zara.

A true 'khazaana' of songs, this film is.
