have you heard hemanta mukherjee's "na tum hamein jaano"? a timeless smooth lilt, a melody that without even seeming to want to, gets inside, makes you want to sing. hemanta's voice, intimate, crooning, mesmerised, taking you through a labyrinth of emotions in search of your humdum... your soulmate, your lover, your love... even if you may not have ever met.
a favourite song of mine. from the 1962 film baat ek raat ki. i so wanted to see what asr and kkg would do with it. ever since i've come across them, the silence keeps telling me a tale.
hope you enjoy the vm.
hemant kumar, as he was known in hindi films, and suman kalyanpur sing. lyrics are by majrooh sultanpuri; music by hemant kumar.
na tum hamein jaano, na hum tumhein jaane
neither do you know me, nor i you
magar lagta hai
kuch aisa mera humdum mil gaya
and yet it feels
as though i have found my soulmate
yeh mausam yeh raat chup hai
the surroundings and this night are quiet
woh honthon ki baat chup hai
the words on those lips are quiet
khamoshi sunane lagi hai dastaan
the silence has begun to tell a tale
nazar ban gayi hai dil ki zubaan
the gaze speaks the language of the heart
mohabbat ke mor pe hum
at the crossing of love
mile sab ko chhorke hum
we met leaving everything behind
dhadakhte dilon ka leke yeh caravaan
on this caravan of beating hearts
chale aaj dono jaane kahaan
the two of us go, who knows where
na tum hamein jaano, na hum tumhein jaane
neither do you know me, nor i you
magar lagta hai
kuch aisa mera humdum mil gaya
and yet it feels
as though i have found my soulmate
