Yu To Humne Lakh Haseen from Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957)– One of the accomplished work of Nayyar in the 1950s, music played a major role to make this film a super hit. After the recording of this song, there was a disagreement between Rafi and the composer, and Nayyar recorded the rest of its songs with Mahendra Kapoor, and gave the later more opportunities also.Ħ. The song was penned by Anjaan, one of his best poems as well. The beautifully written Urdu lines and the close camera shots, though in B&W played a significant role in making this song such a huge chartbuster. Definitely one of his most loved songs, Dharmendra sync-lipped to this solo, and Mala Sinha and Tanuja were also featured in this song.
