Her Story: Love Lyrics - 1

Having said what had to be said, and seeing that he reciprocates her feelings; she is happy. Now, there are several songs in Hindi films-old and new-that are written around this idea. It is interesting to see how the treatment changes with time, while the emotion remains the same. I am amused by this and I will keep posting both, old and new songs that are apt for a certain situation. Today, enjoy an old gem from "Ada" (1951). I could not find a video from the film, but decided to post this lovely melody anyway, for the beautiful words, lilting tune and the sheer pleasure of listening to the fresh voice of a young Lata Mangeshkar.

Trivia: The cast for this film included names such as Rehana, Shekhar, Gope, Madan Puri, Mohana and Shanta Kanwar. Did Rehana lip-sync to this song? I wonder.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Prem Dhawan
Music: Madan Mohan
