        Song: Gaaye Chalaa Ja, Gaaye Chalaa Ja
                Ik Din Tera Bhi Zamaana Aayega

        Film:   Humlog (1950)
        Music:  Roshan
        Lyrics: Adil & Udhdhav
        Singer: G M Durrani, Lata Mangeshkar, Chorus
        *ing:   Balraj Sahani, Nutan, Shyama

One more favourite song of mine. I like choral  effect  here.  My
only complain for this song is that it completes after 3 minutes!
It's so engaging,  end  sounds  like  "sudden  death".  As  usual
Roshan's interludes are pretty.

Apart from this one of the most popular song of that  time,  film
had these three popular songs

        Chhun Chhun Chhun, Baaje Paayal Mori, Baaje Payal Mori
        Aaja Chori Chori, Aaja Chori-Chori .... (By 'sweet' Lata)

        Bahe Akhiyon Se Dhaar, Jiya Mera Baqaraar
        Jaoge Kahaan Dil Tod Ke, Dil  Tod  Ke.... (By  Lata  -  A
mellow song)

        Apani Nazar Se, Unki Nazar Tak, Ek Zamanaa Ek Fasaana
        Jisame Hon Aap Jaise, Laakhon Zamaane Me,  Apane  Dil  Ka
Kaun Thikaana

This one is by Mukesh. A fabulous song. Knowing this song, I find
it  astonishing  ,hearing  someone say: Mukesh sounds sad even in
cheerful songs.

Lata's 'Bahe Akhiyon Se' is  nice  tune,  but  is  pure  vanilla.
'Chhun  Chhun  Baje' is nice semi-classical number. Other notable
Lata solo was 'Chali Chali Ja~~~'; sung little higher than normal
Roshan compositions.

One more, upbeat song was sung Kishor Kumar and  Shamshad  Begum:
Remember that "Bogi Bogi Bogi' number ?

Film has two more songs; one each  by  Mukesh  and  Lata.  Mukesh
number  is  slow  paced  one: 'Dil Ki Pareshaaniyan'. Lata sung a
lighter one: 'Bahut Bura Hai Haal'.  Overall,  it's  a  memorable
soundtrack by Roshan.
