Tum agar saath dene ka waada karo

Posted on: May 11, 2009


Mahendra Kapoor was one singer who was a B R Chopra loyalist and he was the male playback singer of choice in all the movies made by B R Chopra’s banner.

In these movies Ravi was the music directos and Sahir Ludhianvi the lyricist. Together these three have come up with many memorable songs.

To my mind, “Hamraaz” (1968) was the movie where Mahendra Kapoor enjoyed the finesh hour of his singing career. Just abouit every song in thios movie was a big rage those days, and these songs continue to be popular even today.

Here is one of the songs from this movie. This song “tum agar saath dene ka waada karo” was picturised on Sunil Dutt. This movie had a heroine too, called Vimmi, who hardly had any dialogue or songs in this movie.

The movie had great songs, and all these great songs as well as Vimmi the heroine get disposed off in the early minutes of the song and then the movie becmes a whodunnit ( to Vimmi) thriller.

Here is this fine song, and now that I have begun posting songs from this movie, I intend to post other songs from this movie as well.

Song-Tum agar saath dene ka waada karo (Hamraaz) (1968) Singer-Mahendra Kapoor, Lyrics- Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-Ravi

Lyrics

tum agar saath dene kaa waadaa karo
main yoonhi mast naghme lutaataa rahoon
tum mujhe dekhkar muskuraati raho
main tumhen dekhkar geet gaataa rahoon,
tum agar saath dene kaa waadaa karo
main yoonhi mast naghme lutaataa rahoon
aaa aaa aaa

kitne jalwe fizaaon mein bikhre magar
maine abtak kisiko pukaaraa nahin
tumko dekhaa to nazren ye kahne lagin
hamko chehre se hatnaa gawaaraa nahin
tum yahin meri nazron ke aage raho
main har ek shai se nazren churaataa rahoon,
tum agar saath dene kaa waadaa karo
main yoonhi mast naghme lutaataa rahoon

maine khwaabon mein barson taraashaa jise
tum wahi sang-e-marmar ki tasveer ho
ho ho ho
tum na samjho tumhaaraa muqaddar hoon main
main samajhtaa hoon tum meri taqdeer ho
tum agar mujhko apnaa samajhne lago
main bahaaron ki mahfil sajaataa rahoon,
tum agar saath dene kaa waadaa karo
main yoonhi mast naghme lutaataa rahoon
aaa aaa

This is one of my favourite songs.
I like many Sunil Dutt songs.
Somehow he used to carry off songs very well, whether they were sung by Rafi saab or Mahendra Kapoor or Talat Mehmood or Kishore Kumar.

I love the lyrics of this song. Poetry. Very meaningful. Sahir after all.

Lyrics of the additional stanza:

main akela bahut der chalta raha
ab safar zindagaani kaa katataa nahi
jab talak koi rangeen sahaara na ho
waqt kaafir jawaani kaa katataa nahi
tum agar hamkadam ban kar chalti raho
main zameen par sitaare bichaata rahoon
tum agar saath dene kaa waadaa karo
main yoonhi mast naghme lutaataa rahoon
tum mujhe dekhkar muskuraati raho
main tumhen dekhkar geet gaataa rahoon

I have heard people say that Mahendra Kapoor was a poor man’s Rafi, but I am sure he would have been elated to hear people say that. For me, he was nowhere near Rafi saab, but he made a very earnest and honest effort. Some of the songs of his that come to mind and are iconic are from the movie Gumrah.
