Jamal Sen(Sain) & Mubarak BeGum

As a little kid I used to be literally dragged to movies (free shows)
by my parents. I was slow in comprehending dialogues and dimwitted at
keeping track of narrative, therefore often slept through them. Since I
had no idea what was going on, B & W movies scared me due to seemingly
innocuous conversations abruptly converting into fistfights. I watched
parts of them as spectacles as in songs and dances or comic interludes
enlivened by Mehmood and his ilk, for the rest I kept my eyes firmly
closed. This, when I watched those movies in an open-air theater under
the light of stars in the army cantonment of Secunderabad. The only
movie I liked then was brightly colored Navrang. The contractor
apparently had few records, which he played before the movie and during
the intervals. I remember only two songs:
"Taqdeer ka fasaana jaa kar kise....." I hated Rafi stretching his
vocal cords to the limit for "is dil meN jal rahi hai armaan ki
chitaayeN" I have this song in my computer and like a true masochist I
play it occasionally and suffer it. The other song was "Mujh ko apne
gale laga le aye mere hamrahi.." I hate this song as well but have
grown to like Mubarak Begum's other songs like "ik ajnabi se aap haiN,
ik ajnabi se ham" or " suniye ke na suniye, ham haal-e-dil sunayenge."
However, the noise of these two songs is still trapped in my head.

Recently I heard Ameen Sayani mention Mubarak BeGum's first song being,
"Devta tum ho mera sahara, maine thaama hai daaman tumhaara.." composed
being Jamal Sen(Sain), I don't remeber the film. Never heard of this
gent.

Could you guys refresh my memory with some of Mubarak BeGum's other
classy songs?
