“Changez Khan” (1957) was a B grade movie which was produced by N C Films. Kedar Kapoor was the director and the star cast included names like Premnath,Bina Rai,Helen, Johnny Walker, Tiwari, Sheikh Mukhtar, Jeevan, Leela Misra etc.
This movie, which is by and large forgotten by now, has one immortal composition in it, viz. Muhabbat Zinda rahti hai muhabbat mar nahin sakti . If this movie is still remembered today, then it is mainly because of this song.
The movie had other songs in it too, but they got oversthadowned by the above song.
Here is a lovely song from “Changez Khan” (1957). This lesser known song is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Bina Rai. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Hansraj Bahl.

Lyrics
Jab raat nahin katati
ik raat nahin katati
zindagi kaise kategee
jab raat nahin katati
ik raat nahin katati
zindagi kaise kategee
jo aag lagee dil mein,
ashqon ne bujhaai hai,
jo aag lagee dil mein,
ashqon ne bujhaai hai,
ashqon ne bujhaai hai,
ashqon ne jo bhadkaai
aag wo kaise bujhegee
jab raat nahin katati
ik raat nahin katati
zindagi kaise kategee
de-de ke hamen aansoo,
ye duniyaa khushi maangey,
de-de ke hamen aansoo,
ye duniyaa khushi maangey,
ye duniyaa khushi maangey,
jo shaakh se tootee ho,
kali wo kaise khilegee
jab raat nahin katati
ik raat nahin katati
zindagi kaise kategee
ae dard zaraa dam le,
marne ki duaa kar loon
ae dard zaraa dam le,
marne ki duaa kar loon
marne ki duaa kar loon
gar ham na mite ae dil,
maut phir kaise jiyegee
jab raat nahin katati
ik raat nahin katati
zindagi kaise kategee
jab raat nahin
