Raaz seeney mein muhabbat ka chhupaaye rakhnaa

‘Hum hain raahi pyaar ke’ – the phrase reminds me of an iconic song “ham hain raah pyaar ke ham se kuchh naa boliye” from the film NAU DO GYAARAH (1957) and the Amir Khan-Juhi Chawala starrer film HUM HAIN RAAHI PYAAR KE (1993). I was not aware of the fact that there was one more film by the same name until I came across an audio clip of a beautiful song from that film.
Further searches revealed that there were 3 more audio clips of the songs of that film. I understand that the film was never released. It is, therefore, not known when this film went on floors. Also, I could not get details about the film in the websites about the star cast and the film genre except from the uploaders of the audio clips about lyricist and music director. I request the knowledgeable readers to share some more details about this film.
All the four songs are beautiful but my favourite is a duet ‘raaz seene mein mohabbat kaa chhupaaye rakhnaa’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mehmood. The credit for this song is given to Jaan Nisar Akhtar and to Khayyam for the music direction. After listening to this song, I found that the musical interlude of this song resembled that of “phir na keeje meri gustaakh nigaahi ka gilaa” from PHIR SUBAH HOGI (1958) to some extent. Incidentally, Khayyam was the music director of this film as well. I also note that both these songs were written in the same meter and can be fitted in to both the tunes. Even the mood of the poetry is the same – the expression of love.
The song is a good poetry and we are lucky to listen to this song even though the film had not seen the light of the day.
Song-Raaz seene mein mohabbat ka chhupaaye rakhna (Ham Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke)(1960)(Unreleased) Singers-Lata, Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Jaan Nisaar Akhtar,MD-Khayyam
Lyrics
raaz seene mein mohabbat kaa chhupaaye rakhnaa
raaz seene mein
shamaa jo dil mein jalaayi hai jalaaye rakhnaa
shamaa jo dil mein
dil ke jazbaat nigaahon mein khinche aate hain
dil ke jazbaat nigaahon mein khinche aate hain
kitnaa dushwaar hai nazron ko jhukaaye rakhnaa
kitanaa dushwaar hai
aaj to husn kaa jee bhar ke nazaaraa kar len
aaj to husn kaa jee bhar ke nazaaraa kar len
zulf apni zaraa chehre se hataaye rakhnaa
zulf apni zaraa
dil dhadaktaa hai
nazar yoon na milaao hamse
dil dhadakataa hai
nazar yoon na milaao hamse
pyaar ko pyaar ke aadaab sikhaaye rakhnaa
pyaar ko pyaar ke
saamne tum ho to
kyun hosh rahe duniyaa kaa
kyaa qayaamat hai
ye daaman ko bachaaye rakhnaa
kyaa qayaamat hai
raaz seene mein mohabbat ka chhupaaye rakhnaa
raaz seene mein

Movie had Minoo Mumtaz and Feroze Khan in the cast. It remained incomplete. Songs were by Jan Nisar Akhtar and Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and by Tanvir Naqvi.
