Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
Posted on: April 5, 2009
This song is from a very old movie called “Shair” (1949). This movie had Dev Anand and Surayya in lead roles.
In old songs, often the voices are not clear, not only because of passage of time, but also because of deficiencies in recording quality at that time. For all that, I find the voice quality as well as recording quality just amazing. Surayya, who sings as well as acts in this song, sings with such amazing clarity that I got the entire song right in just one listening.
Not just listening, it appears that Suraiyya musyt have recorded this song in one take, that is how perfect her voice sounds in this song. In addition to sounding perfect, her voice conveys the feeling contained in the lyrics with high fidelity too.
The lyrics were written by Shakeel Badayuni and the nice music was composed by Ghulam Mohammad.

Lyrics
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
judaai me tumhaari
raat din fariyaad karte hai
nazar se door hokar
bewafa kyun ban gaye itne
kyun ban gaye itne
nazar se door hokar
bewafa kyun ban gaye itne
kyun ban gaye itne
kisi ke dil ko lekar
kya yoonhi barbaad karte hain
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
zamaane me ajab dastoor hai
dil lene waalon ka
dil lene waalon ka
zamaane me ajab dastoor hai
dil lene waalon ka
dil lene waalon ka
usi ko loot lete hain
jise aabaad karte hai
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
Hamen tum bhool baithe ho
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
tumhe ham yaad karte hain
