I have said it a few times and I need to say it again that Lata was at her peak in 1960s as a singer. The number of memorable songs that she churned out during this decade are many. Here is a memorable song from a suspense movie called Kohra.
This movie had music by Hemant Kumar and the lyrics were written by Kaifi Azmi. One can feel the spookiness of the situation just by listening to the song. I have not seen the movie, but to me it appears a “bhatakti Aatma” story and the song is just perfect for a “bhatakti aatma”.
Song- Jhoom jhoom jalti raat (Kohra) (1964) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Kaifi Azmi, MD-Hemant Kumar
Lyrics
aa aa aa
aaa aaa aaa
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apne saath
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat …
jaane kahaan le jaaye dard bharaa ye dil
jaise sadaa deti hai khoyi huyi manzil
jaane kahaan le jaaye
chhodo piyaa meraa chhodo haath
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat …
haal ye hai masti ka,
saans lagi thamne
utne rahe pyaase ham jitni bhi pi hamne
utne rahe pyaase ham
gham ko badhaa gayi gham ki raat
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apne saath
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
jhoom jhoom dhalti raat
