Magic in Tunes – Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam

For all songs in this series, go here

This song is from the 1982 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film Sanam Teri Kasam (= Swear on you, my beloved). Music was composed Rahul Dev Burman aka R. D. Burman while the Lyrics were penned by Gulshan Bhawra. It was Sung by Asha Bhosle. It was pictured on the famous heroine Reena Roy and Kamal Hassan. Movie sory -line is similar to the hit 1957 film Tumsa Nahin Dekha (= Saw Nobody Like You).

R.D. Burman got his very first  Filmfare Best Music Director Award for this song. Reena Roy, the lead actress in the film, was a guest in the TVs reality show involving singers in that particular episode where this song was sung again. I always thought

The reality show had female version. But the film had a male version and duet of the same song.

Here is the male version. It was sung by Kishore Kumar. The first and second antara has different lines from the female version.

This is the duet version. I don’t have the actual video of the song. It was sung by Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar. Again the antaras are different from both the female version and make version

Lyrics transliterated (female version):

Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam, Hans Hans Ke Sahenge Hum

Ho Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam, Hans Hans Ke Sahenge Hum

Ye Pyar Na Hoga Kam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Sanam Teri Kasam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam, Hans Hans Ke Sahenge Hum

Ye Pyar Na Hoga Kam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Ho Sanam Teri Kasam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Mana Ke Khata Meri Hai, Par Itni Saza Na De Tu

Le Paiya Padu Tere Sajna, Ab To Gale Lagale Tu

Ho Mana Ke Khata Meri Hai, Par Itni Saza Na De Tu

Le Paiya Padu Tere Sajna, Ab To Gale Lagale Tu

Tere Dam Se Hai Mera Dam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Aaha Sanam Teri Kasam, Oh Sanam Teri Kasam

Aise Hi Rooth Ke Mujhse, Ab Aur Kaha Jayega

Aaho Me Asar Hoga To, Tu Laut Ke Phir Aayega

Aise Hi Rooth Ke Mujhse, Ab Aur Kaha Jayega

Aaho Me Asar Hoga To, Tu Laut Ke Phir Aayega

Arey Tu Hai To Kya Hai Gam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Aaha Sanam Teri Kasam, Ha Ha Sanam Teri Kasam

Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam, Hans Hans Ke Sahenge

Ho Kitne Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam, Hans Hans Ke Sahenge Hum

Ye Pyar Na Hoga Kam, Sanam Teri Kasam

Sanam Teri Kasam, Sanam Teri Kasam
