Tum jo hamaare meet na hote
Posted on: May 3, 2009
I have posted a few songs from the movie “Aashiq” (1962). Here is another song from this movie.
This song ‘tum jo hamaare meet na hote” is a typical Mukesh song sung typically for Raj Kapoor. As usual, Shailendra is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.

Lyrics
tum jo hamaare meet na hote
geet ye mere geet na hote
hanske jo tum ye rang na bharte
khwaab ye mere
khwaab na hote
tum jo hamaare
tum jo na sunte kyun gaataa main
tum jo na sunte kyun gaataa main
bebas ghutke rah jaataa main
tum jo hamaare meet na hote
geet ye mere geet na hote
tum jo hamaare
jee kartaa hai ud kar aaun
jee kartaa hai ud kar aaun
saamne baithoon aur dohraaun
tum jo hamaare meet na hote
geet ye mere geet na hote
hanske jo tum ye rang na bharte
khwaab ye mere
khwaab na hote
tum jo hamaare

If you would like to know more on how Indian composers managed to blend Indian and Western music together in Hindi films, you may be interested in a book called, “Behind the Curtain” by Greg Booth published by Oxford Press. The book describs the whole process of creating songs and how the process changed from1930’s to 2000’s.

This song has one more stanza, Sooni dagar ka ek sitaaraa . jhil mil jhil mil roop tumhara.
This stanza is not there with many versions available on you tube.

As I listen to this melodious song, I can’t help but notice the beautiful blending of East and West as in the violins playing the western style harmonies and the sitar playing the Indian classical accompaniment… I still don’t know how the Indian music directors managed to accomplish this “sangam” of the two… how did they receive the training in the western music? (although it is also true that they sometimes lifted the tunes from the West, but that is a different topic).
