Some Most Beautiful - Female Songs 

1. Bachpan ki Mohabbat ko Dil Se Na Juda Karna (Baiju Bawra, 1952) : Lata Mangeshkar

2. Na Jao Saiyan Chhuda Ke Baiyan (Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, 1962) : Geeta Dutt

3. Ajeeb Daastan Hai Yeh (Dil Apna Preet Parai, 1960) : This must be one of the most popular songs even till this day.

4. Aaj Hum Apni Duaaon Ka Asar Dekhenge (Pakeezah, 1972) : Lata Mangeshkar

- Mausam Hai Aashiqana 

- Chalte Chalte Yunhi Koi Mil Gaya Tha 

- Thaade Rahiyo O Baanke Yaar 

- Inhi Logon Ne Le Liya Dupatta Mera

And apart from the songs and Meena’s performance in this movie, there’s one more thing that became very popular with this movie - "Aap ke paon dekhe, bahut haseen hai. Inhe zameen par mat utariyega maile ho jayenge"

5. Kabhi Toh Milegi Kahin To Milegi Baharoon Ki Manzil (Aarti, 1962) : Lata Mangeshkar - Its such a haunting melody! Lovely composition, inspiring lyrics, great voice and Meena’s screen presence - it has such a lingering effect, it just keeps playing in my mind over and over again long after I listen to it.

6. Duniya Kare Sawal To Hum Kya Jawab Denge (Bahu Begum, 1967) : Lata Mangeshkar - One of my favourite Song. This is such as true lyrics.
- Hum Intezaar Karenge Tera Qayamat Tak
