Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri
Music: Shankar-Jaikishan
Movie-Hall where first released in Bombay: Chitra Cinema.
Philosphical/didactic song of Rafi on the plight of the poor – the heart-rending voice: Hame.n bhee de doh sahaaraa…(filmed on Mumtaz Ali, father of comedian Mehmood)
Pages and pages could be written on the philosophy ingrained in ...hameN bhee dedo sahaaraa... The bottom line is man is helpless before the Will of God. He cannot go out anywhere else to seek solace since the entire universe is the dominion of God. We are a poor lot and can only throw ourselves before Him and beg for acceptance. We all belong to Him and unto HIm is our return......tere jahaaN maalik bataa kidhar jaayeN.....Gareeb hi sahee, AaKhir toh hamm tgumhaare haiN.... Hasrat Sahaab has given a rude jolt in order to wake our humanity.
