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.
