' JHUKTI GHATAA GAATI HAWAA SAPNE JAGAAYE "


Music director N Datta was a simple man. He was born at Goa and was also known as Datta Nayak . N Datta and sahir created three masterpieces with superb music and lyrics . These films are Dharmputra ( 1961 ) and Dhool Ka Phool( 1959 ) and sadhana ( 1958 ). 

sahir recommended Asha to N Datta for some songs of Dharmputra . And he was right . Asha sang the memorable song "Mein jab bhi akeli Hoti huun" for Dharmputra.. 

For Dhool Ka Phool sahir wrote " Tu Meray Pyaar Ka phool hai ki Koyee bhool hai " . When lata ji sang it ,the song turned immortal. Sahir requested N Datta to give a song or two to Sudha Malhotra as well. And Sudha ji sang the beautiful " Ka se Kahuun Mun Ki Baat ".
                                                                                   

While recording songs of Sadhna , lata ji choked with emotions thrice when she sang " Aurat ne janam diya Mardon ko ". She told sahir 
' sahir sahib ,yeh kyaa Shabdh Likhein hain. Gaa nahin Pa rahi huun. Mein shayad yeh gaana nahin gaa paaoongi.' and sahir Replied " lata ji agar aap nahin ga paayeen to hindustaan mein yeh gaana koyee nahin ga saktaa. " Lata asked for a glass of water and started singing once again.

For the Bhajan " Tora Manwa kyon Gabraaye Re " sahir recommended the  comforting  voice of Geeta Dutt.That proved a perfect selection.
