        Song: Jala Kar Aag Dil Me, Zindagi Barbaad Karate Hain
                Na Jeete Hain Na Marate Hain, Na  Kuchh  Fariyaad
Karate Hain

        Film:   Tufan (1954)
        Music:  Shiv Dayal Batish
        Lyrics: Kaif Irfani
        Singer: Shiv Dayal Batish
        *ing:   Sajjan, Amarnath, Munawar Sultana, Pran

S. D. Batish; does not require any introduction. He is  known  by
his  popular  songs of Barsat Ki Raay (MD Roshan) and Kaise Kahun
(MD Madan Mohan). He has composed music for few films. The  other
film  which  I  know  has  his music is Haar Jeet (1952). In this
song, he has poured all the 'dard' of  the  world.  The  tune  is
extremely  good. The pause before the last line of each antra and
the piece of music there afer is unmatched. For  example  in  the
following stanza:
        Nahin  Apani Koi Manzil Kahan Jnae  Kidhar  Jnae  

                Sahaara Maut Ka Hai,  Maut  Ko  Ham  Yaad  Karate
Hain... Na Jeete...

The same musical piece is used after that pause in  each  stanza.
Other notable song of the film was sung by Lata Mangeshkar:
        'Khaab Me Hamako Bulate Ho, Ye Kya Karate Ho
                Pyaar Ki Mithi Neend Churate Ho Ye Kya Karate Ho'

with a stress on "Neend" and then suddenly she sings  faster  the
remaining line!

Will talk about Haar Jeet songs later. (One of my Lata  favourite
is from that.)
