Several earlier posts in this forum have identified the singers for first song, 'jhoote zamaane' as Rafi and Nirmala Devi (Govinda's mother).

the singer in jhoothe zamane bharke is undoubtedly nirmala devi.i don't think noorjehan visited india till 1981[or 83] after 1947 when the programme -''mortal men immortal melodies'' was held in her honour.
both hfgk and nerurkar's book on opn identify her as the singer.
noorjehan was a very big name in 1955 and if opn got a chance he would have made her sing all the songs rather than a single duet!

Sub : Lata & Noorjehan - Part-IV
By : Vish Krishnan
In a weak nostalic moment, Noor Jehan put in a half-song for Bombay. The time
was 1955. OP Nayyar, a giant personality then as he is now, was in trouble
with the music directors' association. The movie was MUSAFIRKHANA, and it
starred Shyama and Karan Diwan. For Rafi, the MUSAFIRKHANA duet
Jhoote Zamaane Bhar Ke,
Jadu Kaisa Daar Gaye Mo Pe, Neechi Nazar Kar Ke
must have been a replay of the JUGNU dream all over again. In his own words,
he owed his first big popular break to JUGNU and its protagonists.
One wonders why Noor Jehan did that crazy thing, just a bit appearance. My
guess is the Panchholi connection. Mr. Dalsukh M. Panchholi who gave Noor Jehan
her first real movie also provided OP with his first full assignment in his
own AASMAAN, may have brought Noor Jehan over for one last time. For OP, it
came at a time when he needed all the support he could get. He would never
forget that gesture. Panchholi himself died in 1959, four years after what I
think was Noor Jehan's last Bombay song. He had just turned 50.

Laayega Mera Devar, Wah Wah..'This song was sang by - Sahmsahd Begum, Jagjit Kaur & Noorjehan.
