“Neki Aur Badi” (1949) was an Oriental Pictures presentation. It was directed by Kidar Sharma. The movie had Geeta Bali, Pesi Patel, Nazira, Madhubala, Kidar Sharma, Uma Dutt etc in it.
“Neki Aur Badi”(1949) had ten songs in it. Seven of these songs have been covered in the blog.
Here is the eighth song from “Neki Aur Badi”(1949) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Amirbai Karnataki and a couple of unidentified male voices. Kidar Sharma is the lyricist. Music is composed by Roshan, of course.
I have failed to get the lyrics right at many places. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the blanks/ suggest corrections as applicable.
I also request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the unknown male voices in the song.
With this song, now two songs from the movie are left undiscussed. These two songs are “Ae ree jaa le aa more kaant ka sandeswa” and “man mein prem ki jyoti jale”. Even the details of singers of these songs are missing in HFGK. So unless these two songs get located, this movie will remain unYIPPEED in the blog. I request our knowledgeable readers to keep a watch for these as yet unavailable songs and sound us out as and when these songs become available.

hamen na roko hamen unke paas jaane do

Do not hinder us
Allow us to go near them
And permit us to narrate
Our tales of miseries
From the lips of our wounds
ye lambi taan ke sotey rahe hain sadiyon tak
zamaana badla hai ab to inhen jagaane do
They have been sleeping in peace
From centuries now
Times have changed
Allow us to wake them up (into today’s reality)
ye motiyon ke qadrdaan karam se be-zaaid
jigar ke phaile huye aabileh dikhaane do
They play in wealth
And they give rewards of pearls
But they so lack His blessings and grace
Permit us to show them
The blisters that spread on our heart
ye chand aish karen aur ye saikdon royen
ye mehlon mein, aur ye farsh e khaaq par soyen
These few enjoy the luxuries
And these thousands weep in misery
They sleep in their palaces
And these on the carpet of dust
isi ko kehte hain insaaf aasmaan waale
khalq hila ke rahenge ghareeb ke naale
(If) this is Your justice and rightesouness
O Our Lord in heavens
Be it so then
That the lamentations of the weak and the poor
Shall shake the foundations of this creation itself

ज़माना बदला है
अब तो इन्हें उठाने दो
ज़माना बदला है
अब तो इन्हें उठाने दो
ये मोतियों के क़दरदां
करम से बे-ज़ा’एद
हाँ करम से बे-ज़ा’एद
हाँ करम से बे-ज़ा’एद
जिगर के फैले हुये
आबिलेह दिखाने दो

ये चंद ऐश करें॰॰एं॰॰एं
और ये सैंकड़ों॰॰ओं॰॰ओं॰॰ओं रोएँ
ये ऊंचे महलों में
ये फर्श ए खाक पर सोएँ॰॰एं॰॰एं
इसी को कहते हैं
इंसाफ आसमान वाले
ख़ल्क़ हिला के रहेंगे
ग़रीब के नाले
ग़रीब के नाले
