Setting the Background for Translating Tum Pukar Lo

 

This haunting number from Hemant Kumar is the third song from Khamoshi that is picturised on Waheeda Rehman, but sung by someone else on screen. Waheeda Rehman wants to deliver her message of love to Dharmendra, but finds him singing a melody for someone else. A copy of Kalidas’ Meghdoot in her arms is a masterstroke. She takes the long walk back without saying anything.

 

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Tum Pukar Lo

 

I am waiting for you, do call me please

I’ve only dreams in this night of unease

 

Till when do I lie awake night after night

Singing soulfully about my heart’s plight
I am in love, I say on bended knees
I am waiting for you, do call me please

 

This thought offers me some consolation

You’re in the very same situation
When will the long night our loves’ thirst appease

I am waiting for you, do call me please

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Tum Pukar Lo from Khamoshi

 

Tum pukar lo, tumhara intezaar hai

Khwaab chun rahi hai raat, beqarar hai

Honth pe liye huey dil ki baat hum
Jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum
Muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai

Dil bahal to jaayega is khayal se

Haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se
Raat ye qaraar ki beqarar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai

 

 

muqtasar = brief

 

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Tum Pukar Lo

 

Please do call me, I am waiting for you

The night is picking dreams, it is restless

With my heart’s sentiments on my lips

How many more nights do I remain awake

The issue in brief is that I love you

I am waiting for you

My heart will be consoled with this thought

Your condition is no different from mine

This night of bliss has become restless

I am waiting for you
