Dear Friends,

Along with Noor Jehan, Suraiya has given us most haunting and melodious solos in the Hindi films. I am presenting in this thread 21 of her best songs. These should delight the heart of every collector of long to be cherished songs.

Film:Pyar ki Jeet
Music Director: Husnalal Bhagatram
Lyrics: Qamar Jalalabadi

Can somebody please provide these details? The earthmusic.net does not even refer to this song.
I find that the song begins with the stanza Koi Duniya Mein Hamari Tarha Barbaad Na Ho,and not with Na Tadpne Ki Izajat Hai, which are only the opening words.
