I’ve posted some songs from Mousiqar before, but it’s been a while and they disappeared, so it’s time to post from this film again. Anyway, I am now actually watching the movie, even though it’s in Urdu without subtitles, because it really is worth it for the great music alone, including not only the songs but the background music. (The music director here was Rasheed Attre. The singers are some of my favorites including, primarily, you know who!) Unfortunately, the version of the film that I am watching (also on YouTube) has the music coming in through only one channel. That’s fine with me, because I just bought headphones that make it quick and easy to adjust the sound to mono, and it doesn’t spoil it for me at all. However, for here, I’m going to post the clips that I could find with both channels working. The sound is still far from great in some of these, but the music is fantastic! And some of the dancing is very nice too…
Dances on the Footpath 
Thanks for posting these. I knew only the second one previously- a great hit- but it is nice to see some nice classical singing by Noor Jehan and some elegant dancing too.
You’re welcome, Bawa. I didn’t know the second one was a big hit; I thought the first was the biggest hit. By the way, the first one of course is a slight remix. (Always have mixed feelings about that kind of remix – but it was the only version I could find with sound in both channels. :)
Yaad karun tujhe was the one I heard on the radio in the late 70s still. I think people resung it on PTV, I seem to remember a version by Mehnaz, but I may be totally wrong.
The others would have all been affected by Zia-ul-huq’s regime by that time, total no-no’s.
