Lyrics of the Song: 

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Tadap lete hain lekin

Unko tadpaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Ghadi bhar ke liye bhi

Door unse rah nahin sakte

Tumhen ham chaahte hain

Unse ye bhi keh nahin sakte

Naa jaane kyun zubaan par

Dil kaa afsaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Koi haalat ho duniyaa

Pyaar ki aabaad rahti hai

Kabhi jab wo nahin hote

To unki yaad rahti hai

Mohabbat wo kali hai

Jisko murjhaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Umangen jaag utthi hain

Tamannaa muskaraayi hai

Hamaare dil ne armaanon

Ki ik mehfil sajaayi hai

Ye wo mehfil hai jismen

Koi begaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa

Tadap lete hain lekin unko

Tadpaanaa nahin aataa

Hamen duniyaa ko dil ke

Zakhm dikhlaanaa nahin aataa.

Trivia: 

“Aadhi Raat” (1950) is a movie starring Ashok Kumar and Nargis, no less ! I never knew that this duo ever worked in a movie together. Not oly did they work together, they even lip synced a duet in the movie. And that too a duet sung by Lata and Rafi.

Here is this duet song from “Aadhi Raat” . Asad Bhopali is the lyricist and what superb lyrics he has come up with. Husnlal Bhagatram composed the music and they have come up with their typical listing music which was such a rage those days.

I have no idea how the movie fared at the box office, but it is clear that this is one of the lesser known Rafi-Lata duets and I wonder if its video is available. This pair of Ashok Kumar and Nargis did not come together again, and that may give us some idea how this movie may have fared at the box office.
