Piya aiso jiya mein.. Meena Kumari at her best. Flirtatious but with an unmistakable grace and dignity all her own.

Guru Dutt had an ear for music and probably that's why he married Geeta Dutt who sang this song. Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam had lovely music and some of these are retained here. I have also added links to Chaudvin ka Chand and the song with the same words which I think is one of the consummate forms of romantic hindi film music.
Waheeda Rehman looks ravishing in this breezy, flirtatious Bawara Bada Nadan hein..
Jaane Kya tune kahi.. jaane kya maine suni.. from "Pyaasa". Loved this song and was the first scenes that I saw of a Guru Dutt movie.
Waqt ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam, Tum rahe na tum.. the haunting lyrics of Kaifi Azmi captured the pathos of many who found their emotions denied by the conservative confines of the age.
Chaudvin Ka Chand had the unforgettable song that every lover worth his heartbeat would swear by:) Naturally it had Gurudutt involved in more ways than one in its making!

Aankhon hi aankhon mein was sung by Geeta Dutt and Rafi. The movie was directed by Guru Dutt. For every romantic at heart, this was a hummable song and for obvious reasons:)
Hum aap ki aankhon mein is dil to basa de to?
Na jao saiya... There is a haunting sense of tragedy about Meena Kumari which comes through as she plays a helpless housewife in a haveli who seeks to keep her philandering husband at home.
