Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
Posted on: August 12, 2010
In India, making tall promises is not the sole preserve of politicians alone. Hindi movie heroes too are known to make tall tall promises to their beloved in matters of heart. They claim that their love is eternal and it spans across many births, not just the present birth.
Here is one such “eternal love” song from “Tumse Achchaa Kaun hai”. Here Shammi Kapoor is seen taking oath of “janam janam ka saath” with Babita. Babita, of all people ? She was acting in romantic roles opposite Shammi Kapoor as well as Shashi Kapoor aand she was soon to become their daughter in law as she married their nephew, viz Randhir Kapoor.
It is this fact that does not allow me to fully or even partially allow to enjoy the picturisation of this song.
Of course one can not fault the singing of Rafi. He sounds as passionate and as enthusiastic as he ever sounded while singing for Shammi Kapoor.Hasrat Jaiputri is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.
Song-Janam janam kaa saath hai nibhaane ko (Tumse Achchaa Kaun Hai) (1969) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
pyaar amar hai duniyaa mein
pyaar kabhi nahin martaa hai
pyaar amar hai duniyaa mein
pyaar kabhi nahin martaa hai
maut badan ko aati hai
rooh kaa jalawaa rahtaa hai
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
o shahzaadi sapnon ki
itni tu hairaan na ho
o shahzaadi sapnon ki
itni tu hairaan na ho
main bhi teraa sapnaa hoon
jaan mujhe anjaan na ho
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
tu manzil main raahi hoon
ik din tujhko paaungaa
tu manzil main raahi hoon
ik din tujhko paaungaa
kaun mujhe ab rokegaa
hardam yoonhi aaungaa
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye
janam-janam kaa saath hai
nibhaane ko
sau-sau baar maine janam liye

Nice song. It’s all Rafi.
Shoot could have been better (& w/o Babita).
Thanks for posting.

As you said, the song is great, but Shammi and Babita? As I recall, didn’t Shashi act with Neetu Singh in Deewaar? I seem to remember reading somewhere that Shashi actually felt uncomfortable during the filming, knowing that she was to marry Rishi soon. I am wondering how Babita and Neetu felt during such times! Oh well, films and their people!

Shashi acted with two Kapoor bahu, and they all looked quite comfortable 
With Babita
Haseena Maan Jayegi (Year: 1968)
Ek Shriman Ek Shrimati (Year: 1969)
With Nitu Singh
Deewar (Year: 1975)
There are more with Nitu Singh, but she was not opposite Shashi Kapoor.

बहुत ही सुन्दर गीत है ..बार बार सुने भी तो दिल नहीं भरता ..
‘मौत बदन को आती है रूह का जलवा रहता है..’
क्या खूब लिखा है हसरत जयपुरी साहब ने…वाह!
