Yup, u got it right.

Naushad has pointed out in his interviews that he signed only one film at a 
time. That explains the low number of films and high quality of music.

>Any confirmation of these numbers from Naushad fans?

Thanks to Dileep Divekar, I now have a comprehensive list of *all* Naushad
films and songs composed before 1991. The list is take from the Marathi 
book "Dastaan-e-Naushad" edited by Shashikaant Kineekar, published on
Jan 18, 1991 by Chandrakalaa Prakaashan, Pune. It is a translation of an
original book in Hindi (all info. obtained from Dileep). If anyone has the Hindi
version, I'd be interested in getting a copy. 
 
Anyway, here's a chronological list of ALL 63 Naushad films until 1990. 
I'll post a list off his songs when my advisor agrees that it can be published
in the Journal of Polymer Science :-)

The numbers in brackets indicate the no. of songs in each film.
