Lyrics
Nanhe munne bacche teri muthi mein kya hai
नन्हे मुन्ने बच्चे तेरी मुठी में क्या है
Little kids, what's in your fist
Muthi mein hai taqdeer humari
मुठी में है तकदीर हमारी
Our fate is in my fist
Muthi mein hai taqdeer humari
मुठी में है तकदीर हमारी
Our fate is in my fist
Humne kismat ko bas mein kiya hai
हमने किस्मत को बस में किया है
We have done luck on the bus
Bholi bhaali matwaali aankho mein kya hai
भोली भाली मटवाली आंखों में क्या है
What's in the innocent eyes
Aankhon mein jhoome umeedon ki diwali
आँखों में झूमे उम्मीदों की दिवाली
Diwali of hopes swings in the eyes
Aankhon mein jhoome umeedon ki diwali
आँखों में झूमे उम्मीदों की दिवाली
Diwali of hopes swings in the eyes
Aane wali duniya ka sapna saja hai
आने वाली दुनिया का सपना साजा है
dream of the world to come
Nanhe munne bacche teri muthi mein kya hai
नन्हे मुन्ने बच्चे तेरी मुठी में क्या है
Little kids, what's in your fist
Bheek mein jo moti milega loge ya na loge
भीक में जो मोती मिलेगा लोगे या न लोगे
Whether you will get the pearl in Bhik or not
Zindagi ke aansuyon ka bolo kya karoge
ज़िंदगी के आँसू का बोलो क्या करोगे
What will you say about the tears of life?
Bheek mein jo moti mile to bhi hum na lenge
भीक में जो मोती मिले तो भी हम न लेंगे
Even if we find pearls in beeing, we will not take it.
Zindagi ke aansuyon ki mala pehne ge
ज़िन्दगी के आँसू की माला पहनने गे
Will wear a garland of tears of life
Mushkilon se ladhte phirte jeene mein maza hai
मुश्किलों से लदते फिरते जीने में मजा है
It's fun to live with difficulties
Nanhe munne bacche teri muthi mein kya hai..
नन्हे मुन्ने बच्चे तेरी मुठी में क्या है..
Little children, what is in your fist..
Humse na chhuhpaayo baccho humein to bataayo
हमसे न छूपायो बचाओ हमें तो बतायो
don't touch us save us then tell us
Aane wali duniya kaisi hogi samjhaayo
आने वाली दुनिया कैसी होगी समझो
imagine what the world will be like
Aane wali duniya mein sab ke sar pe taj ho
आने वाली दुनिया में सब के सर पे ताज हो
May everyone's head be crowned in the world to come
Na bhookon ki bheedh hogi
न भूलों की भीद होगी
there will be a lot of mistakes
Na dukhon ka raj ho
ना दुखों का राज हो
no sorrow reigns
Badle ga zamana yeh sitaaron pe likha hai
बदले गा ज़माना ये सितारों पर लिखा है
Badle ga zamana it is written on the stars
Nanhne munne bacche teri muthi mein kya hai...
नन्हे मुन्ने बच्चे तेरी मुठी में क्या है...
Little children, what is in your fist?

About the movie
Summary
Toddlers Belu and Bhola share an uncertain future when their mom dies in the plague, and their dad is imprisoned. They are then left in the uncaring care of Kamla, their aunt, who moonlights as a prostitute. She is cruel,abusive and forces them to take to a life of begging on the local trains, on beaches and crowded areas in Bombay. This is how the toddlers grow up, they want to lead a respectable life, and with the help of bootlegger John, they get a shoe-shine kit and start shining shoes on busy sidewalks and railway platforms. Their circumstances face more uncertainty when Kamla finds out about their new-found profession, beats them up and throws them out of the house. They temporarily seek shelter with John, but when he is arrested, they have to fend for themselves. Things become bad to worse when Bombay enters the monsoon season, when people do not get their shoes shined; then the duo are separated – with Belu ending up with a rich family, and when she asks about Bhola, she is told that he is dead. The question remains is Bhola really dead, if not, what has been his fate?
