Stunning absolutely stunning music-

Jimmy hendrix would be proud

Tokhi on Wednesday, November 12, 2008
damnn i've been trying to find this song for like FOREVER

speriencer on Friday, May 01, 2009
That's Ustad Rais Khansaheb on sitar and Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma on santoor

babusquare on Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Only Naushad could compose this masterpiece. He is surely composer of the century. His background music in Pakeezah is on the top of film music in the world; he maintained the beauty of Indian music mixing European and indian instruments in the same orchestra, a unique talent.

nargis28 on Wednesday, August 05, 2009
there are no european instruments in this arrangement. this is in the style of classical turn of the century (the last century) northern indian taal.

shiva4ever on Thursday, September 24, 2009
This a great composition and ONLY Lata Mangeshkar could have sung the
tarana with so much life and character. What is absolutely stunning is the
dance sequence (danced by Padma Khanna?) which is a masterpiece of the very
height of Mujra of the early twentieth century Lakhnavi style. Pity that
could b not be uploaded. Still, very good to hear this music. Thanks for
the effort.

stupidjaguar7 on Friday, September 25, 2009
Thanks for your comment. I completely agree with your opinion on Lata Mangeshkar. If you would like to see the dance, I believe the full movie is uploaded somewhere else on youtube along with the original credit sequence, so that the full dance is there along with this opening title.

This is pure magic nothing less. A genius put this together. It must go
down as one of the most awesome compositions ever.

vinod dave on Wednesday, November 25, 2009
magic magic magic .pure gold...

blingstababe on Monday, January 25, 2010
It's so beautiful...just like everything in the movie. R.I.P Raj Kumar and
Meena Kumari!

Ibrahim Ali on Sunday, January 31, 2010

Badzoq on Monday, February 15, 2010
i can give you buddy.or you can download it from here using
converter...free download from some where

aramuskguy on Sunday, March 14, 2010
The music director of Pakeezah was Ghulam Mohammed. Naushad took over when
Ghulam Mohammed died before completing the music of the movie. I am not
really sure, but I think most of the songs were composed by Ghulam Mohammed
and Naushad probably scored the theme music and the background music.

Balraj50 on Saturday, May 01, 2010
This Title music is based on Raga Mishra Piloo.

sudhir Pune India on Saturday, May 22, 2010
wah ! wah ! thnks fr upload !

MrSuperIsland on Monday, September 13, 2010
when kamal amrohi was divorcing after 12 years of marrige to meena kumari, so on the spot meena kumari said one shair. TalaaQ toh day rahay ho Qehar-e-Nazar kay Sath,,,, Lauta do meri jawani bi, Mehar kay sath., she love him she stand with him she live with him and after divorce even she lived alone n never marry again, and finally she died after 8 years of divorce in the age of 39.

MrSuperIsland on Monday, September 13, 2010
be remember meena kumari,s reall name was Mah Jabeen Bano

Parmsingh1234 on Friday, October 29, 2010
This is one of the most stunning compositions

DarthBias on Tuesday, January 04, 2011
It's been nearly 40 years and nothing, IMHO, has surpassed - just the
costumes and wardrobe themselves, it's wow compared to the cheap stuff I
see nowadays ...

Atul Shah on Friday, January 14, 2011
@aramuskguy you are 100% right only background was composed by naushad
saheb and took all the credit for this beautiful creation alone very few
people know about this.

Atul Shah on Friday, January 14, 2011
@babusquare sorry to say this buddy but naushad only scored background
music for this film and took all the credit .

Atul Shah on Friday, January 14, 2011
@speriencer sheer beauti who can forget the sitar pieces by ustad rais khan
saheb at the start of this movie specially anar anar thing when the title
starts long live khan saheb.

speriencer on Friday, January 14, 2011
@MrAtulshah Absolutely right MrAtulshah. I'm actually looking for clips of that Anar Anar. Later in concerts, he did a murchana on the original Bhairavi and played it in Khamaj. That is great also, but I really loved the original too. Long live Khansaheb...

Parmsingh1234 on Friday, April 29, 2011
POSSIBLY THE FINEST COMPOSITION OF ALL TIME!

Sobia Makhdoom on Wednesday, June 01, 2011
I realy want the sitar background score done by Ustad Rais Khan in the
movie, it's a stunningly beautiful composition.

Harsh Sharma on Sunday, April 27, 2014

Auntie Latha Ji sings a sadistic Tharaana of the Raag Peeloo...absolutely
lovely...very rare to find a Tharaana of the Raag Peeloo in such
commercialised Cinema and Music...

Harsh Sharma on Sunday, March 22, 2015
गौरवशाली ...विशुद्ध भारतीय संगीत रचना ...जिस पर गुजरते समय की धूल भी बेअसर
है ...
जब भी सुने हमेशा कर्णप्रिय और रूह को सुकून देने वाली है
यह अमर रचना. ...हर्ष

Kaash aaj bhi shastriya sangeet ka is prakar ka upyog hota

M. Saleem Raikodi Raikodi on Saturday, May 30, 2015
Sheer poetry in music. Sitar, Santoor, Sarangi and Tabla and Lata. One of
the best compositions by Naushad. No wonder he was a musical wizard. He
died fighting for preserving Indian Classic Music.

M. Saleem Raikodi Raikodi on Saturday, May 30, 2015
Just closed my eyes and listened to this jewel. I felt I was on a different
plane altogether. I could feel, my nerves in the brain opening up. No
wonder, Music is can be a healer for mental stress. Not those Atif Aslams
and Reshamias.
