        Song: Nain Diwaane, Ik Nahi Maane~
                Kare Manmaani, Maane Na~~~, Nain Diwaane ...

        Film:   Afsar (1951)
        Music:  Sachin Deb Burman
        Lyrics: Pt. Narendra Sharma
        Singer: Suraiya
        *ing:   Suraiya, Dev Anand

Navketan's first film had  some  unusual  combinations  of  music
composer,  lyricist  and  singer. If I remember correctly this is
the only time  Panditji  worked  with  Sachin-da.  Also,  Suraiya
worked  only  once before this film, under Sachin-da.  This time,
it was going to be the last time. But  the  combination  gave  us
some everlasting melodies. Piano and flute pieces are delightful.
In second stanza coming back to 'Mehke Man Ki Bakul' from towards
the end of it is really a nice surprise.

Other song, that equally fascinates me is 'Manmor  Hua  Matwaala,
Ye Kisne Jaadu Daala'. Suraiya is very sweet here.
