Since Jan 31st, 2012 is the 7th death anniversary of Suraiya (Suraiya Jamal Sheikh), here is a song to remember a beautiful actress.
Despite not receiving formal training in music, she was a successful singer of Hindi Cinema. This song is from the movie Lekh (1949) with the cast Motilal, Suraiya, Sitara & Cuckoo. Music is by Krishan Dayal. Various sites on the Internet indicate that there are multiple lyricists in this movie, but this song is written by Qamar Jalalabadi.
According to Wikipedia-
“Suraiya was declared the second Melody Queen (Malika-e-Tarannum) in the sub-continent after Noor Jehan (Malika-e-Tarannum).
Her greatness can be judged by these comments. “You have put life in the soul of ‘Mirza Ghalib’”, were the remarks of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Indian Prime Minister. The Hollywood legend Gregory Peck was keen to meet Suraiya. In connection with the shooting of some film he happened to visit Bombay (Mumbai) where he was honored by the great actress by meeting him.”

Lyrics
saawan ki ghataaaon
saawan ki ghataaaon
saawan ki ghataaon
saawan ki ghataaon
mere saajan ko bulaado
saawan ki ghataaon
mere saajan ko bulaado
saawan ki ghataaon
aansoo mere le jaao
usse jaake dikhaado
aansoo mere le jaao
usse jaake dikhaado
saawan ki ghataaon
kehna ke teri yaad mein
roti hai ye aankhen
kehne ke teri yaad mein
roti hai ye aankhen
roti huyee aankhon se
aankhen to milaa do
roti huyee aankhon se
aankhen to milaa do
saawan ki ghataaon
murjhaane lagin pyaar ki
bikhree huyee kaliyaan
murjhaane lagin pyar ki
bikhree huyee kaliyaan
bikhree huyee kaliyon ka
phir haar banaado
bikhree huyee kaliyon ka
phir haar banaado
saawan ki ghataaon
mere saajan ko bulaado
saawan ki ghataaon
mere saajan ko bulaado
sawan ki ghataaaaa
