>From today I will post, few songs composed by Hemant Kumar  till
26th of this month, his 6th death anniversary. Also all the songs
will be by Late Rajendra Krishna, whose death  anniversary  falls
tomorrow   -   21st   September.   With   that,   I   start  with
Nagin........But for I am allowed to keep  position  vacant,  any
song of your choice from this film will fit here!!

#76
        Song: Man Dole Mera Tan Dole, Mere Dil Ka Gaya Quraar Re
                Kaun Bajae Bansuria ..........

        Film:   Nagin (1953)
        Music:  Hemant Kumar
        Lyrics: Rajendra Krishna
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Pradeep Kumar, Vyjantimala

What else could possibly be a better start for this pair of music
composer  and  lyricist  than  this  1953's musical sensation ? I
guess, in the film history only  two  films  are  remembered  for
their  exceptional  musical  score. One is this and other was, of
course, 1951's Anarkali. Incidentally both the films  have  songs
by this lyricist. (In Anarkali we also have other lyricists.)

For this song, the credit also goes to two worthy  assistants  of
maestro,  Ravi and Kalyanji for that "Bin effect". Otherwise too,
the usage of dilruba, sarangi and tabala is too good  to  ignore.
And  on top of all these, we have 'swarkinnari' Lata Mangeshkar's
ever pleasing voice to sing the song! A treasure indeed.

For this entire soundtrack is so beautiful, no  amount  of  words
can describe it in it's entirety; (thus) I won't attempt further.
I will just list songs that I like so much:
        - Mera Dil Yeh Pukare Aaja (Lata)
        - Unchi (2) Duniya Ki Diwaaren Sainya Tod Ke Main Aayi Re
(Lata)
        - Tere Dwaar Khadaa E Jogi (Hemant)
        - Chhod De Sajaniya (Hemant-Lata)
        - Sun Ri Sakhi (Lata)
        - Sun Rasiya Kahe Ko Jalaae (Lata)
        -   .........
        -   .........

Well, list goes on. Please include all :)
