Lata’s voice had fans engrossed

When Lata Mangeshkar crooned Tum Na Jaane Kis Jahaan Mein Kho Gaye, it wasn’t just a girl’s lament from Sazaa (1951).

In fact, it also seemed to be the singer’s observation about her fans [because when translated, the song meant, “(I) don’t know which world you were lost in.”] And one can’t blame her for mouthing those words. When she sang, they listened with rapt attention.

However, it would be unfair to deny the two men responsible for this track their share of the credit – Sahir Ludhianvi, the lyricist, and S D Burman, the composer.
