        Song: Meri Zindagi Ke Hamsafar, Fenkana Idhar Ik Nazar
                Thoda Thoda Pyaar Kar, Kal Ki Kisko Hai Khabar

        Film:   Shrimati 420 (1956)
        Music:  O P Nayyar
        Lyrics: Jannisar Akhtar
        Singer: Geeta Roy
        *ing:   ?

Geeta frolics in this song. Her ability to modulate the voice  is
well  known.  This song is one more example; where you feel as if
she is controlling notes even after they have been delivered  and
are vibrating the way she likes in the air!

Other song, of the film known to me is one of my Rafi favourite

        Ye Duniya Tere Dil Ki Tasveer Baba
                Ye Do Haath Hain, Teri Taqdir Baba

A typical OPN tune of the genre which people  are  more  familiar
with,  through  Sone Ki Chidia or Naya Daur songs like 'Raat Bhar
Ka Hai Mehmaa Andhera' or "Ana Hai To Aa' or later in 1960s  too,
when he composed 'Jaan Sake To Jaan' which, IMO, comes closest to
this one.
