In the discussion of the last two Suraiyya songs, I have discussed the statistics of Suraiyya songs- moviewise as well as music directorwise. In this writeup, I have given lyricists wise breakup of all Suraiyya songs in HFM.
This writeup was made possible because Mr Bharat Upadhyay, our youthful and energetic regular contributor searched into his music khazaana and dug out this Suraiyya gem which was so far not available on YT. He in fact has promised to search for the other Suraiyya songs as well if I give him the list of these missing songs.
Before discussing the song, here is the lyricistwise breakup of all Suraiyya songs. When I had the table ready and I looked at it, I was surprised (and I am sure our readers will be too) to realise that 50 % of all Suraiyya songs were penned by just four lyricists !
D N Madhok (51), Shakeel Badayuni (45), Rajinder Krishan (33) and Qamar Jalalabadi (31) have penned 160 songs out of the 320 odd songs that Suraiyya sang in her HFM career. In fact, there were just two more lyricists, viz Prem Dhawan (12) and Majrooh Sultanpuri(11) who are into the double figures as far as writing Suraiyya songs are concerned. All remaining lyricists (nearly 40 of them) wrote less than ten Suraiyya songs each.
There were 16 songs from four movies where the names of lyricists were not available. “Phool” (1945) and “Jagbeeti” (1946) are two movies whose lyricists are not known. “Kaajal” (1947) is known to have D N Madhok and Shakeel Badayuni as its two lyricists while the lyricist of only one Suraiyya song of “Duniya” (1949) is known. The other seven Suraiyya songs of this movie are not known though it is known that Aarzoo Lucknowi, S H Bihari, Asad Bhopali and S K Deepak were the other lyricists in this movie.
The detailed breakup of all the lyricists of Suraiyya songs is furnished below:

With the above analysis of Suraiyya songs out of the way, here is this delightful song from “Naatak” (1947). This song is sung by Suraiyya and chorus. Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad.
Another side effect of the discussion of this song is that “Naatak” (1947) now joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog. 🙂
