Here is an assortment of 3 Urdu and a Punjabi song of Pakistani movies of yesteryears. These are blasts from the past but still widely enjoyed. Today is a snowy day at where we live and it is difficult to go out. These and other songs will be our companion for the weekend. Hope you like’em too.

First song is titled ‘jis taraf aaNkh uthaoun’. Movie is Suraiyya Bhopali and the singers are Naheed Akhtar and Mehdi Hassan. The actos are Rani and Shahid. I like the song because of its Hyderabadi (Deccani) language. This style of Urdu is now lost from Pakistani cinema.

Second song is titled ‘jadoN holi jayee’ and is sung by Madam Noor Jehan. It is from from the movie ‘aat khuda da veer’. Actors in song are Habib and Naghma. Gotta love ever green songs of Madam!

The song title is ‘akelay na jana’ from the movie Arman. This song was composed by Sohail Rana. The song was originally composed for a movie titled ‘akele na jana’ but when for some reason that movie got delayed, it was used in the movie ‘Arman’ which was released in 1966.

This song is also from the movie Suraiyya Bhopali released on July 16, 1976. The singer is Naheed Akhtar. Another masterpiece of Deccani Urdu.

I don’t remember any playback singer named Suraiyya Bhopali and I think 1st.song is sung by Naheed Akhtar.
Kavi saheb, I may be worng but i think Suraiyya Bhopali is the name of singer and Umrao Jan Ada is the movie name. #4 is definitely from Umrao Jan Ada as I own this movie. But I have to reveiw it now :) to make sure song 1 is also from it. Was feeling lazy to review it that is why i asked if somebody knew for sure, which movie song # 1 belonged to.
I am pretty sure that 1st. and 4th. songs are from” Suraiyya Bhopali” ,not “Umrao Jane Ada.”
@ No. 1 Umrao jan Ada
No. 2 Aat Khuda da ver,
but hav’nt seen any of them, (except clips) heard and enjoyed for ever, Noor Jehan, jedon holi jai, no one can
ever remake such difficult melody sung by Madame, whom, none can copy, I think have not seen a good actress like
Rani, when ever I saw her in Pak films (very rare) came out with deep emotions, she impressed so much, that I wanted
to see her again and again just to watch “those” expressions plenty of them, which reached the hights of ” acting ” art so near to reality. For me she was “the best Actress ” in the sub-conti, with such a broad & clear dialogue, not only spoken but ” performed”, very respectable.
