I have always been a fan of old Hindi songs. Be it a upbeat song like Lara Lappa Lara Lappa or a romantic song like Phoolon Ke Rang Se, either the lyrics or the music or the singer have haunted me.
Whenever I hear a song that has a deep meaning, I listen to the same song in a loop for a long time and try to decipher its meaning.
So, I have tried to do the same here with the song Tum Pukaar Lo from Khamoshi (1962). This song was sung by Hemant Kumar and the highs and lows in the song are so perfect that I get goosebumps while listening to them. The movie itself was a masterpiece with outstanding performances from Waheeda Rehman and the then upcoming superstar Rajesh Khanna aka Kaka.
Tum Pukaar Lo was picturised on Dharmendra and Waheeda Rehman. The music was one of Hemant Kumar's best works and Gulzar Saahab wrote the wonderful lyrics. It is a romantic song, depicting the endless and anxious waiting that Dev (Dharmendra's character) is experiencing.
I know it is quite impossible to capture the true meaning of the song.. But I have tried my best.
Tum Pukaar Lo, Tumhara Intezaar Hai,
Tum Pukaar Lo…
(My Beloved call out to me... I am waiting anxiously for you.. Call out to me..)
Khawaab Chun Rahi Hai Raat, Beqarar Hai
(Night is sifting through the beautiful dreams I dream about you)
Tumhara Intazar Hai, Tum Pukaar Lo
(I am waiting anxiously for you.. Call out to me..)
Honth Pe Liye Hue Dil Kii Baat Hum
Jaagate Rahenge Aur Kitani Raat Hum
(How many sleepless nights should I suffer, with my unexpressed sentiments)
Muqtasar Si Baat Hai Tum Se Pyaar Hai
(It is a very simple matter, I am in love with you...)
Tumhara Intezar Hai, Tum Pukar Lo
(I am waiting anxiously for you.. Call out to me..)
Dil Bahal To Jaayegaa Is Khayal Se
Haal Mil Gaya Tumhara Apne Haal Se
(At least my heart will be consoled with the thought that your
condition is the same as mine)
Raat Ye Qarar Ki Beqarar Hai
(The beautiful night that should have been peaceful is now restless)
Tumhara Intazar Hai, Tum Pukar Lo
(I am waiting anxiously for you.. Call out to me..)
