Re: Mehandi (1958) song lyrics

This is one of the rare instances of 6 mins of Lata Unplugged
rendition without any instruments.. a fantastic listen for sure.. This
was one of the fist adaptations of Umrao Jaan Ada (Music by Ravi here,
helped him fetching Chaudahvi.n Ka Chaand)..

Any more instances of Lata singing an entire song without supporting
instruments (not parts but significant length) that you can
contribute?

This transliteration may be of begining days,
there is scope for refinement, wish Sri Vijay Kumar
does the needful.

There is disorder of one stanza, need re arranging.

Thanks for finding the link.

My pleasure to have the opportunity for a do-over
on this assignment. I hope this time it is substantially
correct.

There were some lines in the original that are not in
this YouTube version. I have retained them at the end
of this posting, and I have not tried to reproduce the
spoken interjections that lend so much character to
the song.

There is one specific phrase that the original contributor
could not get, and neither could I. Corrections welcome.
