Today (28 september 2016) is the 87th birth anniversary of Lata Mangeshkar. This blog is 2994 days old today and we have discussed 3072 songs sung by her, so it means that we have discuss more than one Lata song everyday in this blog on an average throughout the eight years plus that this blog has been in existence. In other words, we remember her everyday and celebrate her almost daily by discussing “new” Lata songs everyday.
On this occasion, here is a song of Lata from her early days. This song is from “Anmol Ratan”(1950) which was directed by M Sadiq for Jaimini Dewan Productions, Bombay. This social movie had Meena, Karan Dewan, Gope, Gulab, Madn Puri, Nirmala etc in it.
This song, the eighth out of eleven from the movie, is sung by Lata and chorus. I feel that this song has another female voice too in the song. However, HFGK entry describes this song as sung by Lata and chorus, so I will go by that.
This nice “feelings of the heart” song is penned by D N Madhok. Music is composed by Vinod.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
I am not fully satisfied with the lyrics noted down and I feel that a few words need correction. I request our readers with keener eras to help fill in the blanks/ suggest corrections in the lyrics whereever applicable.
I take this opportunity to wish Lata Mangeshkar a very happy birth anniversary and we wish her many more happy returns of the day.

Chorus
Lyrics
sajan aaye aadhi raaaat
kar hi le bahaane se baat
ho kar hi le bahaane se baat
na main haan boli
na main na boli
na main haan boli
na main na boli
main chup se chadariya
chadariya taan ke machli
ho gayi
wo samjhe so gayi
sajan aaye aadhi raaat
kar hi le bahaane se baat
ho kar hi le bahaane se baat
mujhe ishaare ishaare mein lage bulaane
dil mein kya thha raam jaane
mujhe ishaare ishaare mein lage bulaane
dil mein kya thha raam jaane
o phir man hi man mein lage muskuraane
dil mein kya thha raam jaane
o phir man hi man mein lage muskuraane
dil mein kya thha raam jaane
na main haan boli
na main na boli
na main haan boli
na main na boli
main kahoon or se odh chadariya
jhoothi nindiya mein kho gayi
wo samjhe so gayi
sajan aaye aadhi raaaat
kar hi le bahaane se baat
ho kar hi le bahaane se baat
na mai haan boli
na main na boli
na main ha boli
na main na boli
main chup se chadariya
chadariya taan ke machli ho gayi
wo samjhe so gayi
sajan aaye aadhi raaat
kar hi le bahaane se baat
o kar hi le bahaane se baat
kehne lage aaj ki raat
suhaani(?) aake dekh le
kehne lage aaj ki raat
suhaani(?) aake dekh le
o mere dil ki bagiya mein khili hai jaani
raat ki raani
aake dekh le
o mere dil ki bagiya mein khili hai jaani
raat ki raani
aake dekhle
meri khuli aankh
dekhee sunee tez
ik kajal se di paati bhej
sajan aaye aadhi raaat
kar hi le bahaane se baat

The other singer with Lata ji is probably Nirmala Devi
