Jhoomta mausam mast maheena
Posted on: December 30, 2008
During the peak of his career, Shammi Kapoor songs were sung by Rafi and picturised on Kashmir, Shimla etc.
But that was in 1960s. Shammi Kapoor was not quite the same Yahoo! actor in 1950s. The one movie that changed the course of Shammi Kapoor’s career and gave him his lasting image was “Ujaala” (1959). It was in this movie that Shammi Kapoor was first seen in a boisterous role, singing and dancing with gay abandon. And in this movie, he was partnered by Mala Sinha.
The songs picturised on Shammi Kapoor in this movie were sung by Manna Dey. And this song “Jhoomta Mausam mast maheena” must be the one that paved the way for all those Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs in 1960s.
Just listen to the song and watch the video. The song is superb, and the picturisation is nice. By watching this song, one can clearly see the indications of things to come in future Shammi Kapoor movies.

Lyrics
jhoomtaa mausam mast maheenaa
chaand si gori ek haseenaa
aankh mein kaajal munh pe paseenaa
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
koyi rangeelaa sapnon mein aa ke
ek nazar se apnaa banaa ke
pyaar kaa jaadu ham pe chalaa ke
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
Thandi sadak neem tale teer-e-nazar khoob chale
o tum bhi udhar zakhmi huye
ham bhi idhar zakhmi huye
haay laal chunariyaa chaal niraali
sar pe jhoomar kaan mein baali
haath mein choodiyaan motiyon waali
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
koyi rangeelaa sapnon mein aa ke
ek nazar se apnaa banaa ke
pyaar kaa jaadu ham pe chalaa ke
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
tum bhi yahaan ham bhi yahaan
aisaa milan hogaa kahaan
o teri qasam jaan-e-jahaan
dil hai wahin tu hai jahaan
o dil kaa maalik ik matwaalaa
is jahaan mein sabse niraalaa
pyaar kaa sooraj din kaa ujaalaa
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
jhoomtaa mausam mast maheenaa
chaand si gori ek haseenaa
aankh mein kaajal munh pe paseenaa
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
donon taraf aag lagi
aisi lagi bujh na saki
o tum bhi jale main bhi jali
khil to gayi dil ki kali
ya allah
mukhdaa teraa gul ki kahaani
zulfen teri shaam suhaani
roop ki malakaa pyaar ki raani
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
koyi rangeelaa sapnon mein aa ke
ek nazar se apnaa banaa ke
pyaar kaa jaadu ham pe chalaa ke
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
he jhoomtaa mausam mast maheenaa
chaand si gori ek haseenaa
aankh mein kaajal munh pe paseenaa
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gaya
yaa allaah yaa allaah dil le gayi

Wasn’t Tumsa Nahin Dekha before this ?
I thought that was the turning point in Shammi’s career ?
When he established his own style, breaking away from the traditional Hindi film hero mould ?

Yes, “Tumsa nahin dekha” was before “Ujaala”. So TND should take the credit of making Shammi Kapoor, instead of U.

The first time I heard this song was in 1978 when I attended a Shankar-Jaikishen nite. Manna Dey and Talat Mehmood were the main attractions (there was somebody who sang Rafi songs, Nitin Mukesh was present too, singing Mukesh songs. Usha Timothy and Sharada were the other attractions).
Anyway, Manna Dey sang this song, among others.
And I feel in love with it the first time I heard it.
(That was also the first time I heard “Hai sab se madhur” by Talat).
The picturisation of this song takes it to a different level. So lively, so charming.
