        Song: Kya Kya Na Log Chal Base (2), Shauk-E-Jamaal-E-Yaar
Me ...

        Film:   Hyderabaad Ki Naaznin (aka Hyderabad) (1952)
        Music:  Vasant Desai
        Lyric:  Noor Lucknowi
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   ?

This song is not as great as Lata-Vasant Desai efforts  in  Zanak
Zanak  Paayal  Baje,  but  one thing is very much noticeable; and
that's sweetness of song and sweetness of Lata's  voice.  I  have
heard  almost  all  Vasant Desai-Lata combinations (Oh my! that's
big statement), IMO Lata's sweetness is best here.  This song, is
much  less  noisy (in terms of instruments) and hence is an ideal
candidate to listen to in late hours. Can some one  let  me  know
what does "jamaal" mean ?

Film, has one very good Raj Kumari song. I  have  heard  --  more
than  once -- on radio (from different critics) calling it one of
the best Raj Kumari songs.

        Nazaron Me Samaane Se Qaraar Na Aa? Sakega

Is a semiclassical number.

Only other song, I know from the film is this Talat number,  that
I  haven't  heardfor  years  now:  'Duniya Me Jeena Hi Padega'. I
suppose all songs were by Noor Lucknowi.
