        Song: Hum Dil Ki Kahaani Kyaa Kehate
                Kuchh Keh Na Sake, Kuchh Keh Bhi Gaye

        Film:   Shaadi Ki Raat (1950)
        Music:  Aziz Hindi
        Lyrics: Firoz Jaalandhari
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   ?

This one is considered by many  as  Lata  classic.  Lata's  nasal
voice  adds to its beauty. Song's structure (tune, rhythm) anyway
makes it memorable. No, it's not catchy but  has  it's  own  mild
power  of  attracting your notice with more and more pull, as you
you go on listening.

Interestingly this music director  is/was  actually  lyricist!  I
have  come across songs written by him (and composed by other big
time music composers). Other film composed by him that  comes  to
mind is Dhup Chhaon (1954).

Film has one nice Rafi solo composed by Pt. Govindram  (yes  film
has two MDs):

        Woh To Chutaki Me (2), Dil Le Ke Chalate Hue

If I remember correctly there is some chorus too. A typical  Rafi
song,  that  later  developed  into  a  style,  that  he  used so
effectively to render songs picturised on Johny Walker.

Only other song I have  heard  is  one  light  number  from  Khan
Mastana and Geeta Roy

        Main Bhi Jawaan Gori Tu Bhi Jawaan, Jawaani Yun Hi Na Bit
Jaae

We have typical 'chulbuli awwaz' of Geeta here.
