One song from this film “Yahudi ki Beti” was posted in the blog by Sudhir Sir. This link to this particular song under discussion now has been with me for a long time. There is a lot of confusion in youtube and even earthmusic.net about the name of the music director of this film. Even the name of singer is also a confusion. This particular link that I have found is for Mohammed Rafi solo version. The clip itself is giving the name of music director as Hemant Kumar. Earthmusic mentions this song as sung by Lata Mangeshkar and also by Asha-Hemant Kumar.”The songs are confused and mixed up with “”Yehudi ki ladki”(1957). To add to the confusion, there was a film with similar name i.e. “Yahudi ki Ladki” in 1933 too.

Shehnaz(1948) is a lost film, it would seem. I havenot been able to find videos of any of the songs. I had sent the lyrics of four songs of this film. Atulji has posted three of them, and fourth one is this Rafi solo. I am reproducing the synopsis of the film and other details provided by Arunkumar Deshmukh Sir, our in-house encyclopedia about old Hindi film.
