Believe it or not , there was a Hindi movie with a title like “Shin Shinaaki Bubbla Boo” as early as 1952. One may think that this movie, going by its title must be full of forgettable songs based on western music.

There could well be such songs in this movie, but this movie also has an absolutely wonderful song based on Indian classical music. And this song, though rare and not so well known, is extremely highly rated.

This song “tum kyaa jaano tumhaari yaad me ham kitnaa roye” is sung by Lata and it must be one the most memorable songs sung by Lata. Music director of this song was C Ramchandra. If he said that this was his best composition, then one has to sit back and take notice.

P L santoshi is the lyricist.Unfortunately, the prints of this move are no longer available, it seems. This song was reportedly picturised on Sadhana Bose.

Lyrics

tum kyaa jaano
tum kyaa jaano,
tumhaari yaad mein
ham kitnaa roye
ham kitnaa roye
rain guzaari taare gin gin
rain guzaari taare gin gin
chain se jab tum soye
ham kitnaa roye

kitni kaliyaan khilin chaman mein
khilke phir murjhaa gayin
birhan ke ik bhole man ko
baar baar samjhaa gayin
ro ke jawaani kati jisne
ro ke jawaani kati jisne
preet ke beeje boye
ham kitnaa roye
tum kyaa jaano,
tumhaari yaad mein
ham kitnaa roye
ham kitnaa roye

kitne baadal ghire gagan mein,
ghirke phir naa barse,
pyaas dabaa kar dil hi dil mein
kitnaa tadpe tarse
dard hamaaraa dil jaane yaa
dard hamaaraa dil jaane yaa
nainaa khoye khoye
ham kitnaa roye
tum kyaa jaano
tumhaari yaad mein
ham kitnaa roye
ham kitnaa roye
