          Song:   jhilmil sitaaron ke taley aa mera daaman thhaam le
                  rangiin bahaaron ke taley aa mera daaman thhaam le

          Film:   Naaz (1954)
          Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
          Music:  Anil Biswas
          Lyrics: Satyendra
          *ing:   Nalini Jaywant, ?

  I cannot think of any other composer who used the piano as beautifully
  and effectively as an emotive medium than Anil Biswas. A number of his
  songs start with soft, spaced-out piano strains that sometimes give no
  indication whatsoever of the rhythm and pace of the impending song
  (like in Mukesh's "ae jaan-e-jigar" from 'Aaram'), while at other
  times, melt beautifully with the main song (like Lata's glorious
  "tumhaare bulaane ko jii chaahta hai" from 'Laadli').

  This song is one of the former category... the soft, entreating piano
  notes in the beginning (that have this really sad, longing feel to them)
  suddenly transform into the upbeat, joyous rhythm of the main song.
  It is a very happy, buoyant and beautifully composed tune. I can very well
  see Nalini Jaywant merrily chirping this song out on the screen :-)

  It is also a lovely piece of poetry by Satyendra (of the "main dil
  huu.n ek armaan bhara" fame). Beautiful metaphors and imagery :
          mai.n tere dil ki baat huu.n, main tere dil ki baat huu.n
          Thehrii huii barsaat huu.n mai.n tere dil ki baat huu.n
          qadamo.n pe jiske chaa.ndni mai.n woh suhaani raat huu.n
          yeh husn ka paighaam le aa mera daaman thhaam le

  I've only heard one other song from this movie- Lata's "kaTati hai ab
  to zindagi marne ke intezaar mei.n". Any more data on this soundtrack ?
