ye raatein nayi puraani

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

ye raatein

aa rahaa hai dekho koi ,jaa rahaa hai dekho koi

sabke dil hain jaage-jaage, sabki aankhein khoyi-khoyi

khaamoshi karti hai baatein

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

ye raatein

kya samaa hai jaise khushboo ud rahi ho kaliyon se

guzri ho nindiyaa mein ,palkon ki galiyon se

sundar sapno ki baaraatein

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

ye raatein

kaun jaane kab chalengi kis taraf se ye hawaaein

saal bhar to yaad rakhna aisa na ho bhool jaayein

is raat ki mulaakaatein

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

ye raatein nayi puraani

aate aate-jaate kehti hain koi kahaani

Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

Lata Mangeshkar's voice to Kaifi Azmi's words under the direction of Hemant Kumar adds a haunting tinge to the song. A simple song with great effect.

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 hui manzil

jaane kahaan le jaaye

chhodo piyaa mera chhodo haath

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

haal ye hai masti ka,

saans lagi thumne

utne rahe pyaase hum 

jitni bhi pi humne

utne rahe pyaase hum

gham ko badhaa gayi gham ki maar

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

leke chali mujhe apne saath

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

jisko koi samjhe naa

baat woh dohraaye

mera tera jeevan ka

chaaya hua kohraa

mera tera jeevan ka

kisne suni kabhi dil ki baat

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

leke chali mujhe apne saath

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

jhoom jhoom dhalti raat

manzil wohi hai pyaar ki

Subir Sen

The most noteworthy effect of his voice was its close resemblance to Hemant Kumar. His voice has the silken effect like Talat Mahmood .

manzil wohi hai pyaar ki, raahi badal gaye

duniya ki nazron se door

duniya ki nazron se door, jaate hain hum tum jahaan

us desh ki chaandni, gaayegi ye daastaan

mausam tha wo bahaar kaa, dil khil machal gaye

sapnon ki mahefil mein hum tum naye

manzil wohi hai pyaar ki raahi badal gaye

chhup na sake mere raaz

chhup na sake mere raaz, nagmo mein dhalne lage

rokaa thaa phir bhi ye dil, pahlu badalne lage

ye din hi kuchh ajeeb the, jo aaj kal gaye

sapnon ki mahefil mein hum tum naye

manzil wohi hai pyaar ki raahi badal gaye

manzil wohi hai pyaar ki raahi badal gaye
