Guzra hua Zamana,
Ata nahi dubara,
Hafiz khuda tumhara….
It’s perhaps the toughest task to select only 10 of Lata Mangeshkar’s songs.
Dilip Kumar once said of her: “The way the fragrance of a flower has no color, a flowing spring or cool breezes belong to no country, the smile of an innocent child has no religion, similarly Lata Mangekshar’s voice is a miracle of nature’s creativity.”
Here’s our small tribute to the undisputed Melody Queen of India through 10 of our favourites.
Naam Goom Jayega…Meri Avaz Hi Pehchaan Hai
Wonderful song from the movie Kinara. “Meri avaz pehchaan hai,” the song rimends us of her journey of life and her charismatic voice. The composition was an epic hit of its time like a breeze that soothes the soul.
Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega
The haunting melody, a great composition from the movie “Mera Saya,” is full of emotions is one of the most popular songs, even to this day. Writer is Raja Mehendi Ali Khan and the lyrics gives a remembrance of the legend lost and the movie is a must-watch.

Hothon Main Aisi Baat
