        Song: Jayega Jab Yahan Se Kuchh Bhi Na Saath Hoga
                Do Gaz Zameen Ka Tukada Tera Libaas Hoga O~~~

        Film:   Moti Mahal (1954)
        Music:  Hansraj Behl
        Lyrics: Prem Dhavan ?
        Singer: Mohammad Rafi, Madhubala
        *ing:   Suraiya, Ajit, Jeevan

In it's time, this was (I may say  'is')  a  very  popular  song.
Delivered  well  by  both  Rafi and Madhubala Zaveri, whom I have
heard most of the time only under Hansraj Behl's  direction.  Her
voice  is  sweet  to some extent. Her voice is high pitch too. At
lower notes she definitely sounds pleasing. But otherwise, and in
particular  in third octave, what you hear is, screaming! In this
song she does very well controlled singing.  The  tune  set,  the
selection of instruments and little 'layakaari' makes this song a
very enjoyable song. I wonder how many songs did Rafi sing  based
on  this "philosophical" stuff ? But more importantly majority of
those songs are good.

This film, has some nice Suraiya solos too. One popular song was:

        Koi Laakh Kahe Aisa Waisa, Ab Duniya Ka Dar Kaisaa
                Jab Teri MeriJab Teri Meri, Meri  Teri  Ek
Marazi

Very good song with light but nice, orchestration. One more  song
that  I  recall,  was  sung by Shamshad Begum: Dekh Meri Adaa Hue
Lakhon Fida. Here she sing some  meaningless  words  (a  kind  of
filmi  tarana)  to match the rhythm. Net result is:  A cute song.
One more song that I know is by Suraiya. It's a sad song: 'Kismat
Ne Hame Lunt Liya'
