Great Composer Feroze Nizami Ji, Post - partition films Options

[Vidur Sury]

Previously, I had created a thread on the 10 pre - partition films from 1943 - 1947 of the great Feroze Ji. Here is a thread commemorating his post - partition or Pakistani classics, which are 15 films from 1949 - 1974. Another journey through timeless melodies with large singer variety, put to excellence by this veteran stalwart. Here is the filmography after partition as a composer:

1. Hamari Basti (1949)
2. Chan We (1951)
3. Dupatta (1952)
4. Sharare (1955)
5. Sohni (1955)
6. Intekhab (1955)
7. Qismat (1956)
8. Solah Aane (1959)
9. Raaz (1959)
10. Gulshan (1959) - with Rashid Attre Jehan Ji, a worthy contemporary
11. Zanjeer (1960)
12. Manzil (1960)
13. Mongol (1961)
14. Saukan (1965)
15. Zar Zan Zamin (1974)

So Feroze Nizami Ji has done a total of 25 films in his career as composer. Be it the 1950s' rulers Zubeida Khanum Ji, Kausar Parveen Ji, Munawar Sultana Ji, Ali Baksh Zahoor Ji and Roshan Ara Begum Ji; or those who continued to be popular even in 1960s like Noor Jehan Ji, Salim Raza Ji, Munir Hussain Ji, Mala Ji, Naseem Begum Ji, Ahmed Rushdi Ji and Naheed Niazi Ji; or rare Pakistani singers like Mubaraq Begum Ji (who sang mostly in Indian films, but Feroze Ji used her in Raaz - 1959), Feroze Ji would only give his very best to all. He truly showed the great capabilities and outstanding talents of all the greats he used and made us feel he was absolutely right in his decision of voice choice.

I have only a very few songs from 8 films among these, and will be uploading them for the enjoyment of all. Our kind members are requested to upload the remaining gems. A lot of films have their song details unknown as well, so I hope all would participate in spreading their knowledge on songs unknown to me.
