Day 16: Today's song is Jata Kahan Hai Diwane by Geeta Dutt - C.I.D (1956)

 A Spanish music influenced 1957 classic Geeta Dutt song, Jata Kahan Hai Diwane is today's pick. 50s and 60s Bollywood music was considerably influenced by Latin American, Spanish and Italian music. This cabaret'ique song Jata Kahan Hai Diwane is from C.I.D. a 1956 Indian crime thriller film directed by Raj Khosla and produced by Guru Dutt, and no other singer could express the mood and melody of this song better than the legendary pioneer Geeta Dutt. Music is composed by O.P. Nayyar, and he had his own unique style in the industry. Sultry lyrics written by Mujrooh Sultanpuri.

Here is a solo rendition singing with my acoustic guitar (posted on June 13, 2023):

This was my first attempt at learning a Geeta Dutt song. Pardon my mistakes. It is day 16 of 300, 284 more days to go and 284 more songs to go. I hope I can keep the steam going.

So here is my rendition of this song with backing tracks (posted on Feb 12, 2021):

Lyrics: 

Jata kaha hai deewane

Sab kuchh yaha hai sanam

Baaki ke saare fasaane

Jhuthe hai teri kasam

Fify kuchh tere dil me fify

Kuchh mere dil me fify 

zamana hai buraa

Pahalu badalane lage

Ghabaraa ke chalane lage

Aankhe mili bhi nahi

Yun hi sambhalane lage

Ai ji suniye huzur

Jana hamase na dur

Ai ji suniye huzur

Dekho dil hai kisi

Kaa jalana buraa

Jata kaha hai deewane

Sab kuchh yaha hai sanam

Baaki ke saare fasaane

Jhuthe hai teri kasam

Fify kuchh tere dil me fify

Kuchh mere dil me fify 

zamana hai buraa

Saiyaad hai tu magar

Mujhako na yun tan ke dekh

Naadaan zaraa ek baar

Qaidi mera ban ke dekh

Maano maano meri baat

Hai ye pahali mulaaqaat

Maano maano meri baat

Dekho pahalu se

Uth ke hai jana buraa

Jata kaha hai deewane

Sab kuchh yaha hai sanam

Baaki ke saare fasaane

Jhuthe hai teri kasam

Fify kuchh tere dil me fify

Kuchh mere dil me fify 

zamana hai buraa

Thank you for listening

Peace
