This song is from the 1974 Indian Hindi-language masala film Haath Ki Safai (= ’Skill of Hand’; a euphemism for pickpocketing).
This was the first song I saw that pictured on an anti-hero with a romantic song,
It was a remake of 1959 film Do Ustad. The film was later remade in Indian Telugu-language as Manushulu Chesina Dongalu (1976) and in Indian Tamil-language as Savaal (1981). This is one of another favorite song that I listen to often.
Music was composed by Kalyanji – Anandiji to the Lyrics penned by Gulshan Kumar Mehta with his pen-name, Gulshan Bawra. Sung by Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar.
Lyrics transliterated:
Waada Karle Saajna; Waada Karle Saajna
Tere Bin Main Na Rahun, Mere Bin Tu Na Rahe Hoke Judaa
Yeh Vaada Rahaa; Naa Honge Juda; Yeh Vadaa Rahaa
Waada Karle Saajna; Waada Karle Saajna
Tere Bin Main Na Rahun, Mere Bin Tu Na Rahe Hoke Judaa
Yeh Vaada Rahaa; Naa Honge Juda; Yeh Vadaa Rahaa
Main Dhardkan Tu Dil Hai Piya, Main Baati Tu Mera Diya
Hum Pyar Ki Jyot Jalayein; Hum Pyar Ki Jyot Jalayein
Main Rahee Meri Manzil Hai Tu; Main Hun Lehar Aur Sahil Hai Tu
Jeevan Bhar Saath Nibhayein; Jeevan Bhar Saath Nibhayein
Wada Kar Le Jaanejaan; Tere Bin Main Na Rahun
Mere Bin Tu Na Rahe HoKe Judaa
Yeh Waada Raha; Naa Honge Juda; Yeh Waada Raha
Jabse Mujhe Teraa Pyar Milaa; Apni Toh Hai Bas Yehi Duaa
Har Janam Yoon Milke Rahenge; Har Janam Yoon Milke Rahenge
Sundar Sa Ho Apna Jahaan; Pyar Apna Rahe Sadaa Jawaan
Ham Sukh dukh Milke Sahenge; Ham Sukh dukh Milke Sahenge
Waada Kar Le Saajna; Tere Bin Main Na Rahun
Mere Bin Tu Na Rahe Hoke Judaa
Yeh Vaada Raha, Naa Honge Judaa; Yeh Vaada Raha
