Here is the third song from “Reporter Raju”(1962) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur, Rafi and chorus. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S Mohinder.
The song is picturised on Chitra, Feroz Khan (in disguise) and others as a dance performance song, with lots of interested parties (villains, unsuspecting would be victims etc) watching the performance. Feroz Khan is a fugitive from police. As we all know, performing as a lead dancer in full view of police and villains is how Hindi movie heroes disguise themselves.

Lyrics
raat jhoomti
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
dil ko choomti
bachna zara
zulfen syaah
das na kisi ko jaaye
ishq jaal mein
ishq jaal mein
husn chaal mein
husn chaal mein
jaane ada
teri nigaah
jaane ghazab kya dhhaaye
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
koi na samjhe
koi na jaane
mere dil mein kya hai ae
mere dil mein kya hai
teri nazar batlaati hai zaalim
tere dil mein kya hai ae
tere dil mein kya hai
raat jhoomti
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
dil ko choomti
bachna zara
zulfen syaah
das na
kisi ko jaaye
ishq jaal mein
husn chaal mein
main shola hoon
main bijli hoon
na chhoona deewaane ae
na chhoona deewaane
jo sholon mein jal nahin sakte
hum hain wo parwaane
hum hai wo parwaane
ishq jaal mein
ishq jaal mein
husn chaal mein
husn chaal mein
jaane ada teri nigaah
jaane ghazab kya dhaaye
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
ek ishaara aaj kisi ke sar ka taaj ulat de ae
sar ka taz ulat de
koi soorma shaayad tera
paasa aaj palat de
paasa aaj palat de
raat jhoomti
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
dil ko choomti
bachna zara
zulfen syaah
das na kisi ko jaaye
ishq jaal mein
ishq jaal mein
husn chaal mein
husn chaal mein
jaane ada
teri nigaah
jaane ghazab kya dhaaye
raat jhoomti
raat jhoomti
dil ko choomti
dil ko choomti
bachna zara
aa aa
bachna zara
aa aa
bachna zara
aa aa
bachna zara
aa aa aa
bachna zara
bachna zara
