Lyrics

Aaya kaha se maal, usko pata hai

आया कहा से माल, उसे पता है

Where did the goods come from, he knows

Kisko pata hai? are, usko pata hai

किसको पता है? हैं, उसे पता है

Who knows? yes, he knows

Yeh kaisa jhooljhal, usko pata hai

ये कैसा झूला, उसे पता है

What kind of swing is this, he knows

Kisko pata hai? are baba, usko pata hai

किसको पता है? हैं बाबा, उसे पता है

Who knows? Hey baba, he knows

Meraa bhee chhota sa sapna hai yaar

मेरा भी छोटा सा सपना है यारी

I also have a small dream dude

Chahiye ek bangla aur imported car

चाहिये एक बांग्ला और इम्पोर्टेड कार

Need a bangla and imported car

Khelta hu lottery yeh sochke har bar

खेलते हैं लॉटरी ये सोचे हर बर

Play the lottery every time you think

Ban jaoon mai bhee phir arabopati yar

बन जाऊं मैं भी फिर अरबोपति यारो

become a billionaire again friend

Kya hogee meree chal, usko pata hai

क्या होगा मेरे चल, उसे पता है

What will happen to me, he knows

Kisko pata hai? are baba, usko pata hai

किसको पता है? हैं बाबा, उसे पता है

Who knows? Hey baba, he knows

Tang gali chaudha bajar me woh mujhe mili

तांग गली चौधा बाजार में वो मुझे मिलि

I found that in Tang Gali Chaudha Bazar

Maine puchha nam kya hai, kehne lagi lily

मैने पुछा नाम क्या है, कहने लगी लिली

I asked what is the name, Lily started saying

Uski javaani thi phul jaise khilee

उसकी जावानी थी फूल जैसे खिले

her youth was blooming like flowers

Lut gaye kitno ke dil kamar jo isaki hili

लुट गए कितने के दिल कमर जो इसकी हिली

How many hearts were robbed, the waist that shook it

Mai kyon hua behal, usko pata hai

माई क्यों हुआ बहल, उसे पता है

Why did my mother become bahl, she knows

Kisko pata hai? are baba, isko pata hai

किसको पता है? हैं बाबा, इसे पता है

Who knows? Hey baba, know it

Makhmal sa chikna badan lage mere yar kaa

मखमल सा चिकना बदन लगे मेरे यार का

My friend's body feels smooth like velvet

Har pal mai rehta hu pyasa didar kaa

हर पल मैं रहता हूं प्यासा दीदार का

I live every moment of thirsty Deedar

Kehta hai dil usse dekhun bar bar

कहता है दिल उसे देखना बार बार

Heart says to see him again and again

Uski ada me hai nakhre hajar

उसी अदा में है नखरे हजार

There are thousands of tantrums in the same style

Hai hont lal lal, usko pata hai

है होंट लाल लाल, उसे पता है

It's red red, he knows

Kisko pata hai? are baba, usko pata hai

किसको पता है? हैं बाबा, उसे पता है

Who knows? Hey baba, he knows

Abb toh bata, abb toh bata

अब तो बता, अब तो बता

Tell me now, tell me now

Aaya kahan se mal, abb toh bata

आया कहां से मल, अब तो बता

Where did the stool come from, now tell me

Yeh kaisa jholjhal, abb toh bata

ये कैसा झोलझल, अब तो बता

What a mess this is, now tell me

Abb toh bata, abb toh bata, abb toh bata

अब तो बता, अब तो बता, अब तो बता

Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now

About the movie

Summary

Unemployed Vijay is the youngest in his family consisting of his widowed mom, and two brothers. His passion is poetry – frowned upon by his brothers – who want him to find gainful employment instead. Vijay’s poems are quite radical in which he laments about the poor, the destitute, and the arrogance of the rich after the departure of the British from India. His efforts to get them published are in vain. He takes to drinking, gets in trouble with the law, is disowned by his brothers, ends up at a brothel and befriends a prostitute named Gulabo. Gulabo is sympathetic, listens to him as he pours his heart out, and decides to assist Vijay. Watch what happens when Gulabo approaches some of her affluent clientèle to assist Vijay and try and get his work published, without revealing that they are written by an alcoholic, disheveled, homeless man.
