Today’s song is from a Costume drama film Naqab-1955.

This was yet another film weaving a beaten-track story of the King – Queen and the evil Vazir. Initially I was quite amused with such stories and was keen to see these films.

In reality, the generation which enjoyed such child pleasing stories was receding in the background with the growing age and the next generation was eager to broaden its visions with different Genres of films like Comedy, Real life adventure, Religion, Love stories, Musicals, Historicals and what not !

Today’s song is a lovely qawwali from the film Paak Daman-1957. The story of this film seems to be very popular and well known, because I find that several films were made on this one story and with the same title. The first film came in 1931 as Paak Daman. Then came Paak Daman Raqasa-1932, Paak Daman-1940 and Paak Daman-1957. Meanwhile a Pakistani film Paak Daman was also made in 1969.
