Antam fantam chhod de babu
Posted on: March 27, 2009
It is a light hearted song from a movie called “Ham sab Chor Hain” (1956). This movie had music by O P Nayyar and lyrics were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and picturised on Nalini Jaywant.
More than Nalini Jaywant, I find her male co star interesting. I say interesting, because it is Shammi Kapoor, but without all his mannerisms. In fact he looks too timid and lacking in self confidence in this song.
The reasons are not too far to seek. In much of 1950s, Shammi Kapoor was just a struggling actor who had yet to find his feet in Bollywood. He in fact would be seen apeing the mannerisms of Raj Kapoor, without much success.
It was one year later that Shammi Kapoor began to make his mark when he began to get his kind of movies for which he is known today.
This song is interesting in the sense that here one can see Shammi Kapoor of his earlier days which was far different from his stardom days.

Lyrics
antam fantam chhod de baabu ho gayi teri haar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu ho gayi teri haar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu
chhod do sunaanaa sadaayen inkaar ki
jaan gayi main to adaayen hain ye pyaar ki
chhod do sunaanaa sadaayen inkaar ki
jaan gayi main to adaayen hain ye pyaar ki
banke hazaar karo takraar sab kuchh hai bekaar
banke hazaar karo takraar sab kuchh hai bekaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu ho gayi teri haar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu
chhook gayaa jaadu na khade-khade sochiye
lijiye ye daaman paseenaa zaraa ponchhiye
chhook gayaa jaadu na khade-khade sochiye
lijiye ye daaman paseenaa zaraa ponchhiye
ho gayi haar ho gayi haar maan bhi lo sarkaar
ho gayi haar ho gayi haar maan bhi lo sarkaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu ho gayi teri haar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
ikdam tikdam kuchh na chalegaa jeet gayaa meraa pyaar
antam fantam chhod de baabu
