        Song: Kahan Tak Jafa Hunsnwaloon Ki Sehate
                Jawani Jo Rehati To Phir Ham Na Rehate

        Film:   Tohafa (1947)
        Music:  M. A. Rouf
        Lyrics: Saqib Lukhnavi (pardon my spelling)
        Singer: Mukesh
        *ing:   Nawab, Veera, Shah Nawaz

In my most 'humble' opinion, this gazal  is  the  best  gazal  in
hindi  films.  I can not imagine any other coming to any close to
this. Well, my opinion :)  Coming to song  itself,  the  singing,
lyrics  and  music  is  really at it's peak here, in a 'Suron-Ki-
TriveNi'. The 'veena' is used very effectively by  MD.  The  film
also  have  some  more Mukesh songs. Total 4 (or 5?). Three solos
and one duet with Hamida Bano. I will  mention  today  this  duet
which is truly in a vintage (Bhule Bisre) category:
        Jeene Ki Surat Ho Gayi, Bas? Teri Badaualat Ho Gayi
                Samazo Ke Mohobat Ho Gayi, Samazo Ke  Mohobat  Ho
Gayi
