        Song: Nain Heen Ko Raah  Dikha  Prabhu,  Pag  Pag  Thokar
Khaaun Main ...

        Film:   Bhakt Surdas (1943)
        Music:  Gyan Dutt
        Lyrics: Surdas
        Singer: K L Sehgal
        *ing:   Saigal, Khurshid

This film is full of obscure gems of Sehgal  and  Khurshid.  This
particular  bhajan  of  Suradas ji, is probably most famous. With
just harmonium, sarangi and tabla Gyan Dutt, who was arguably one
of the most talented composer we had had, has done a superb job.

My other favourite Saigal bhajan/song from the film are:

        Madhukar Shyam Hamare Chor, Madhukar Shyam Hamare Chor
        Sanwari Soorat Man Har Lino, Natwar Nand Kishor; Chor ...

and

        Rain Gayi Ab Hua Savera

Isn't this in Asavari ? Or am I completely wrong ?! In  any  case
great songs.

The most obscure is Saigal, Khurshid duet from this film: Chandni
Raat Aur Taare Khile Hain. A nice song.

But, IMO, the THE song from film was by Khurshid, in Kedar --

        Panchhi Baawaraa, Chaand Se Prit Se Lagaaye

What a song. Khurshid was never better than here. Hats off to her
and Gyan Dutt.

She also sung one more song in this true treasure.

        Madhur Madhur Ga Re Manawaa, Madhur Madhur Ga~

Last but not least we have one more  Surdas  bhajan  from  Saigal
here,  and  a  very  famous  one.  [  It's  sung  by  Saigal, Pt.
Omkarnath?, Lata, Mukesh, Aunp Jalota,

        Maiya Mori Main Nahi Makhan Khayo
