        Song: Muhobat Ki Bas Itani Daataan Hai
                Bahaaren (2), Chaar Din Ki Fir Khizaan Hai ...

        Film:   Baradari (1955)
        Music:  Nashad
        Lyrics: Khumar Barabanqvi
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi
        *ing:   Bharat Bhushan, ?

This song is lost today, due to another Rafi-Lata  duet  of  this
film  that  became immensely popular. IMO, this song is musically
much better. It starts with following lines:

        Sitaare Dub Chale, Raat Dhhalane Waali Hai
                Chale   Bhi   Aavo   Ke   Shamma   Buzane   Waali
Hai       (Lata)
        Tumhe Kasam Hai Na Karanaa Judaai Ka Gam
                Hawaaen   Laakh   Chale   Shamma   Jalane   Waali
Hai     (Rafi)

Opening of song is really good. Lata sings low,  and  Rafi  high.
Song  uses  rabaab  to  good  effect. Change of rhythm in antaraa
brings a good  effect too.

Other duet I was referring to is 'Bhula Nahi Dena Ji  Bhula  Nahi
Dena,  Zamaana Kharaab Hai'. Lata and Rafi are at their very best
here.
