Anil Biswas

is considered one of great music directors in the Indian cinema. Once I saw in this autobiographical piece http://giitaayan.com/satish/art-194.htm:
"My favourites till today are the songs from `Vatan (1938)',
`Ek   Hi  Rasta  1939)',  `Alibaba (1940)',  `Bahen (1941)',  and
`Roti  (1942)'.  Sometimes when I am  alone I recall   the  tunes
of   ``kyoN  ham  ne   diya  dil''  (sung   by Sitara,  lyrics by
Wajahat Mirza,  from `Vatan')  and  ``kahe  karta  der  baraati''
(sung  by Anil Biswas and chorus,  lyrics by Dr. Safdar Aah, from
`Aurat'.)"
Now somebody has posted the song from Watan (Vatan)1938

and the second one rom Aurat 1940

They seem to be from worn out records and do not sound that great.
