“Benazir” (1964) was produced by Bimal Roy and directed by S Khalil. The movie had Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari, Shashi Kapoor, Tanuja, Nirupa Roy, Tarun Bose, Lata Sinha, Asit Sen, Paul Mahendra, Durga Khote, Bela Bose etc in it.
Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopedia, has to say about this movie:
BENAZIR(1964) was produced by Bimal Roy(NOT directed by),and was Directed by an ordinary director S.Khalil, who had earlier directed some nondescript films like Jhankar, Nai zindagi, Bhaijaan, Sartaj, Gunehgar, Deewar-55 and Shahkar etc.
Benazir (Meena Kumari) is a dancer of Lucknow, who is loved by Nawab Afsar Hussain(Ashok Kumar),though he has a good looking and khandani Biwi, Begum Sarwari(Nirupa Roy), at home.
Benazir secretly loves younger brother of Nawabsaab, Anwar Nawab(Shashi Kkapoor) who is-unknown to Benazir-already engaged to Shahida(Tanuja), younger sister of Begum Sarwari.
Anwar hates Benazir holding her responsible for Nawabsaab’s disturbed household. Once he goes to Benazir and is scolding her when, instigated by illwishers, the Nawabsaab comes there, finds them together and gets a heart attack. The engagement of Anwar to Shahida is broken etc. The film ends on a tragic note.
Run of the mill story, weak direction and non interference of Bimal Roy in the film’s development saw to it that the film fails at the Box office.
As many as seven songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is the eighth song from the movie. This song is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Meena Kumari as a Mujra song. Ashok Kumar, Nirupa Roy etc are also visible in the picturisation of this song.
Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by S D Burman.

Lyrics
aa aa aa
ho
aa aa aa
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi ee
zabaan par khushi ki kahaani rahegi
chamakte rahenge mohabbat ke taare
chamakte rahenge mohabbat ke taare
khuda ki agar meharbaani rahegi
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi ee
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi
muhabbat ko ae dil nibhaate chala ja aa
muhabbat ko aye dil nibhaate chala ja aa
yahi daag dil ko lagaaye chala ja aa
yahi daag dil ko lagaaye chala ja
lagaaye chala ja aa
salaamat yahi ek nishaani rahegi
khuda ki agar meharbaani rahegi
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi
na kyun rashk aaye hamen is khushi par
na kyun rashk aaye hamen is khushi par ar
karam ho raha hai kisi ka kisi par
karam ho raha hai kisi ka kisi par
kisi ka kisi par
muhabbat hamesha deewaani rahegi
khuda ki agar meharbaani rahegi
bahaaron ki
ho o
bahaaron ki
aa aa aa aa
bahaaron ki mehfil suhaani rahegi
