I have a clip of this old number--can anyone tell me who sings it and which film it is from?
Thoda sa dil lagakar dekh...
Nainon se muskurake dekh...
Mera na ban sake agar
Apna humein banake dekh...
Priya

Film: Musaafirkhana
Year: 1955
Singers: Shamshad Begum, Mohammad Rafi
Music: O P Nayyar
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri

Ok now I remember how I must have got this clip--the controversy--did Nj record in India after Partition--this must be the song--how would anyone think that was NJ!!!! Does not sound very Shamshadish too but then she has many softer voiced songs too.

Here is the clip--but I cannot believe this is Shamshad--SB where Asha is concerned I am willing to take Ur word on anything but this has to be someone lese.

thanks priya ji....for atleast a clip




by the way..if any one have complete song pls pls u/l it


irfan...

I had never heard the song and the information that I had posted was from
the Geetkosh. After hearing the clip, I agree that this does not sound like
Shamshad. Shamshad has a thicker, harder sound in her voice. This is more
tinny. In fact, I would even venture that this was Mubarak Begum though I
don't think it is. There is one more female singer in this film called "Nirmala"
according to the Geetkosh. That other song is also a duet with Rafi
"Meri nigaah ne kya kaam laajawab kiya". I have never heard that one either.
Perhaps this duet is also by her.
Here is a list of all the songs:
1. PalTi are palTi kismat palTi (Asha Bhonsle)
2. Kuchh aaNkh mili kuchh paisa mila (Mohammad Rafi, Durrani)
3. ThhoDa sa dil lagaake dekh (Shamshad Begum ???, Mohammad Rafi)
4. Achha ji maaf kar do (Geeta Dutt, Mohammad Rafi)
5. Dil de Daala nazraana (Geeta Dutt)
6. Zara si baat ka huzoor (Asha Bhonsle)
7. Agar baabu dil hai kaabu (Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi)
8. Meri nigaab ne kya kaam laajawab kiya (Nirmala, Mohammad Rafi)

The only songs I have from the list above are the 2 Geeta Dutt songs.
After hearing this clip, now I really want to get a hold of this one as
well.

SB U anticipated my question!!!! I was going to ask u for the Asha ones!
I am sure I have heard zara si baat though--but right now when I try to recall the tune I only get khuda huzoor ko meri bhi zondagi de de.

Thanks Priya for the clip, a nice soft song. Again an interesting test for ears.

I think the female voice is Shamshad Begum. Couldnt match with Gita Dutt, Sudha Malhotra or Nirmala Devi or Mina Kapur.
However, If I try to match this voice with her forties or early fifties songs of her' like Mai Bhanwar tu hai phool (MELA), Chod Babul ka Ghar, Bachpan ke din bhula na dena, I get lost.
Very true she had some soft type of songs, like the one composed by O.P. Nayyar in fifties like Pyar karle Babu..(Mangu) where her voice is bit different .

Mohd.

My friend on sks (yahoo) who sneaks in here as a guest tells me that it is indeed Shamshad Begum. He is a huge fan of hers so must be right.
Priya

and even on the radio station when i heard this song first time..the announcer said
rafi-shamshad begum...

Shamshad Beghum.

Here is the Geeta-Rafi song from the film--achchaji maaf kardo....
