Thanks for these songs. Har Sham is very nice!
I'm surprised to find that Govind Ram and Hafiz Khan were composing well into the 1950's! Govind Ram was
big in the early to mid 40's.....I have Hafeez Khan (Mastana) songs dating back to 1940 (Main Hari) and the most recent was 1950 until this Talat song from the mid/late 50's.....
Kind Regards

While the singer (Hafiz) Khan Mastana was MD for some films, there was a different Hafiz Khan, a saarangiyaa, who gave the music for the Noor Jehan starrers 'Zeenat' and 'Hamjoli'. Most probably, it was the saarangiyaa Hafiz Khan (who apparently moved to the UK later) who was also the MD for 'Meherbani' (1950) and 'Mera Salam' (1957).
I think Khan Mastana gave the music for "Watan" (1954). I am not sure what other films he tuned.
