        Song:   Mohabbat ki dhun
                Beqaraaron se poochho (2)
                Yeh naghma hai kya
                Chaand taaron se poochho (2)

        Film:   Dil-e-Nadaan (1953)
        Music:  Ghulam Mohammed
        Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
        Singer: Talat Mahmood, Jagjit Kaur, Sudha Malhotra
        *ing:   Talat Mahmood, Shyama, Pees Kanwal

There are a number of  songs  I've  come  across  that  leave  me
feeling  really curious about their picturization. And given this
star-cast, I'm definitely curious about this  one-  and  I  don't
even know who Pees Kanwal is !

Anyway, coming back to the song... the most striking part of this
tune  is  it's  remarkable  rhythm.  Mellifluous is the word that
springs to mind -  like  waves  in  slow  motion  ;  it's  simply
beautiful.  It's a soulful, rather atypical Ghulam Mohammed tune,
and though the song has to compete with some glorious Talat solos
in  the movie to make its presence felt ('Zindagi denewaale sun',
'Jo khushi se chot khaaye'), I feel it stands out on it's own.  A
great track.
