Lyrics
Shabab pe main zara si sharab phekunga
शबाब पे मैं जरा सी शारब फेकुंगा
I will throw a little liquor on the sabbath
Kisi hasin ki taraf ye gulaab phekunga
किसी हसीन की तरह ये गुलाब फेकुंगा
I will throw this rose like a beautiful one
Parda hai, parda hai
पर्दा है, पर्दा है
curtain, curtain
Parda hai, parda hai
पर्दा है, पर्दा है
curtain, curtain
Parda hai parda, parde ke pichhe, parda nashin hai
परदा है परदा, परदे के पिचे, पर्दा नहीं है
The curtain is the curtain, the pitch of the curtain, the curtain is not
Parda nashin ko be-parda na kar dun to
परदा नशिन को बे-पर्दा न कर दूं तो
If I don't unveil the veil
Akbar mera nam nahin hai
अकबर मेरा नाम नहीं है
akbar is not my name
Parda hai parda...
पर्दा है परदा...
The curtain is the curtain...
Main dekhta hoon jidhar, log bhi udhar dekhen
मैं देखता हूं जिधर, लोग भी उधार देखें
Wherever I look, people also see borrowings
Kahan thaharati hai jakar, meri nazar dekhen
कहां थाहराती है जकार, मेरी नजर देखें
Where does Jakar tremble, see my eyes
Mere khwaabon ki shahazaadi, main hoon akbar ilahabaadi
मेरे ख़्वाबों की शहज़ादी, मैं हूं अकबर इलाहबादी
The princess of my dreams, I am Akbar Allahabadi
Main shayar hun haseeno ka, main aashiq mahajabinon ka
मैं शायर हूं हसीनों का, मैं आशिक महजबीनों का
I am a poet of beauties, I am a lover of mahajbeen
Tera daaman na chhoduunga, main har chilman ko todunga
तेरा दमन न छोडूंगा, मैं हर चिलमन को तोडुंगा
I will not leave your oppression, I will break every drapery
Na dar zalim zamaane se, ada se ya bahane se
ना दार ज़ालिम जमाने से, अदा से या बहने से
Not from time immemorial, by grace or by flowing
Zara apani surat dikha de, sama khoobsurat bana de
ज़रा आपनी सूरत दिखा दे, समा ख़ूबसूरत बना दे
Just show your face, make it beautiful
Nahin to tera nam leke, tujhe koi ilzaam deke
नहीं तो तेरा नाम लेके तुझे कोई इलज़ाम देके
Otherwise someone will accuse you by taking your name.
Tujhako is mehfil men rusava na kar dun to
तुझको महफ़िल में रुसवा ना कर दूं तो
If I don't make you angry in the gathering
Akbar mera nam nahin hai
अकबर मेरा नाम नहीं है
akbar is not my name
Parda hai parda...
पर्दा है परदा...
The curtain is the curtain...
Khuda ka shukra hai, chehara nazar to aaya hai
खुदा का शुक्र है, चेहरा नज़र तो आया है
Thank God, the face is visible
Haya ka rang nigaahon pe, phir bhi chhaya hai
हया का रंग निगाहों पे, फिर भी छाया है
Haya's color is on the eyes, yet there is a shadow
Kisiki jaan jaati hai, kisiko sharm aati hai
किसिकी जान जाती है, किसको शर्म आती है
who dies, who is ashamed
Koi aansoo bahata hai, to koi muskurata hai
कोई आँसू बहाता है, तो कोई मुस्कान है
Some shed tears, some smile
Satakar is tarah aqsar, maza lete hain ye dilabar
सातकार इस तरह अक्सर, मजा लेते हैं ये दिलाबरी
Satkar often enjoys this dilabari like this
Yahi dastur hai inaka, sitam mashahur hai inaka
याही दस्तूर है इनका, सीताम मशहर है इनाक
Yahi Dastur is his, Sitam is Mashar, Inak is
Khafa hoke chehara chhupa le, magar yaad rakh husn-waale
खफा होके चेहरा छुपा ले, मगर याद रख हुसैन-वाले
Hide your face in anger, but remember Hussain-wale
Jo hai aag teri jawani, meraa pyar hai sarz paani
जो है आग तेरी जवानी, मेरा प्यार है सरज पानी
Who is fire, your youth, my love is siraj water
Main tere gusse ko thanda na kar dun to
मैं तेरे गुसे को ठंडा ना कर दूं तो
If I don't cool your anger
Akbar mera nam nahin hai
अकबर मेरा नाम नहीं है
akbar is not my name
Parda hai parda...
पर्दा है परदा...
The curtain is the curtain...

About the movie
Summary
A ex-convict must flee his mob boss, leaving his family to fend for themselves. His wife goes blind and his children are abandoned. They are adopted by a Hindu policeman, a Muslim tailor, and a Catholic priest. The Hindu-raised son becomes a policeman in his turn; his Muslim-raised brother becomes a singer; and the last son, played by Amitabh, becomes a happy-go-lucky Catholic who lives on the edge of the law. The boys meet again and their lives become entangled in an incredible plot full of unlikely coincidences and furious action sequences interspersed with songs. In the end, the grieving mother recovers her sight, the evil mob boss is punished, and the family is at last re-united.
