another nice rafi song from the same movie (aaj aur kal) is missing a
paragraph in giitaayan (http://thaxi.hsc.usc.edu/rmim/giitaayan/cisb/
1955.isb)! here is the missing part, thanks to youtube (http://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMdlXYckCrQ).

machal machal ke havaae.N bulaa rahii hai.n tumhe.n \- 2
khamoshiyo.n kii sadaae.N bulaa rahii hai.n tumhe.n, ye vaadiyaa.N ...

note that the lyrics in giitaayan have mis-spelt "tumhe.n" as "tumhe"
throughout this song!
