        Song: Doob Gaye Aakash Ke Taare, Ja Ke Na Tum Aaye
                Takte Takte Naina Haare, Ja Ke Na Tum Aaye

        Film:   Angaare (1954)
        Music:  Sachin Dev Barman
        Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianwi
        Singer: Talat Mehmood
        *ing:   Nargis, Nasir Khan

Unfortunately, I don't remember lyrics of this nice song. What  I
can  write,  is  --  melody  and  slow  paced orchestra, both are
lovely.

Film seems to have good soundtrack, as it has some good songs. At
least  the  one  I am aware of are, all good. All these songs are
sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

The most melodious song is:
        'Unhe Kho Kar Dukhe Dil Ki Dua Se Aur Kya Maangu
                Main Hairan Hu Ke Aaj Apane? ??? ?? Kya Maangu'

Then this song, that lead  me  to  think  if  it  was  a  Shankar
Jaikishan composition!

        Ummid Ki Zoli  Me  Kyon  Bhar  Diye  Angaare,  Bhar  Diye
Angaare

In fact the feeling is same, not only  for   this  song  but  all
three  Lata  songs!   The  primary  reason  being scale chosen by
Sachin-da, a high one, typical to Shankar Jaikishan songs.

Only other Lata solo that remains to be mentioned, is most famous
Lata  song  from the film. (Famous because it's better known as a
song from Angaare to people who like music from the era.)

        'Us  Basti  Ko  Jaane  Waale,  Leta  Ja   Paigaam   Mera'

PS: I suppose this song ('Doob Gaye Akaash Ke Taare') is released
on  Talat  Rare  Gems  compilation  by HMV. I have the album, but
couldn't locate it. Can someone confirm ? BTW,  IMO,  this  album
contains  some REALLY rare pieces like Gham Na Kar Khushi Ka Daur
Aayega (SHAHZAADA), Mitane De Meri Zindagi (MEHAR- BANI) etc.
