Man Mandir Ke Devta - Lakhon Mein Ek (1967)

A great rendition by Malika-e-Tarannum Noor Jehan, whose voi-ce does complete justice to the being who in deep conflict and turmo-il turns to God to seek resolution and courage. The resonance of gong-s and bells, and the chorus add superb effects to this masterpiece-. I guess, in the film, this bhajan was picturized on actress Shamimara performing in front of idol of lord Shiva. This song, despit-e being banned by Radio Pakistan and yet became very popular. The mu-sic of Lakhon Mein Ek assured a place for Nisar Bazmi among greatest composers of the era and Noor Jehan received the Nigar Award- for the Best Playback Singer.
