Tum Pukaar Lo Tumhaara Intezaar Hai

One of my favorite haunting melodies of Hemant Kumar. What awesome lyrics and the depth the music and his voice give to song are out of this world! I'm not a huge fan of Hemantda but if I have to pick and choose favorites, this would surely be one of them.


hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm

tum pukaar lo
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo
khwaab chun rahi hai raat beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(honth pe liye hue dil ki baat hum
jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum) (2)
muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(dil bahel to jaayega is khayaal se
haal mil gaya tumhaara apne haal se) (2)
raat yeh qaraar ki beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai

Lovely, thank you! You clarified one phrase of the song for me. I used to sing, "Raat beqarar thi, beqarar hai." But "Raat yeh qarar ki..." makes more sense! Thanks!

Rajani, thank you :) your comments are always ever encouraging. I do agree with how some of the words sound verses what they actually are...
there is a hilarious blog post by Sayesha that I once read about this same topic. :D
