Released in 1948, the film Ziddi was a turning point for many. It was the film that established Dev Anand as a star and introduced the world to the legendary chemistry between Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar.

Composed by the maestro Khemchand Prakash, the song is a playful yet soulful romantic dialogue. While Lata was beginning to showcase her signature crystal-clear soprano, Kishore Kumar was in his early phase, often influenced by the style of K.L. Saigal before developing his iconic yodeling and dynamic range. The lyrics, contributed to by a team of legendary poets including Prem Dhawan and Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, capture the “magic” (Jadu) of falling in love.

Jadu kar gai kisi ke naina lyrics :

jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina
ke man mere bas me nahin
jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina

sapno me kho gayi main
kya kisi ki ho gayi main
sapno me kho gayi main
kya kisi ki ho gayi main
kaise ye bhed chhupaun
ke man more bas me nahin
jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina

bindiya lagaungi main mehendi rachaungi main
bindiya lagaungi main mehendi rachaungi main
dur khadi sharmaun ghunghat mein musakaun
ke man mere bas me nahin
jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina

jin nainan se nain milaye
jin nainan se nain milaye
unko rota chhod na jaiyo
jin nainan se nain milaye
unko rota chhod na jaiyo
tumne jisme prit jagayi
tumne jisme prit jagayi
us manva ko tod na jaiyo tod na jaiyo
tum bin chain na paun
ke man more bas me nahin

jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina
ke man mere bas me nahin
jadu kar gaye kisi ke naina
