My Mumbai - can be enchanting and heartless! The principal character in this song is Mumtaz Ali, father of comedian Mehmood - although I can't be sure after all these years.
Doesn't this chorus break your heart? The pleas from innocent children in rags for help, the hungry and penniless Nutan's temptation to steal the coin tossed for the kids( a temptation she ultimately defeats and thus shows her pearl-like purity of character , though that's not seen here), and Moh'd Rafi's golden singing-- all are as authentic a replication of a sad social reality as one will ever seen on the screen. Thanks, COS.
@BharatGul thank you for your critical analysis of this post da ! sadly this reality has stayed and not changed with the times ! the whole movie is very beautiful in every aspect and one does not get tired of watching it . thank you once again .
@BharatGul ''phalak ki god se tootey huey sitaare hain '' has been echoing in my mind since i uploaded this song . you are right , it is truly heartbreaking . !
I am not familiar with this one. Thanks for Rafi Sahab gem.

@BharatGul Actually, only the boy is in rags, I noticed upon closer viewing. The scene is still quite true to life.

BOTH THE LYRICS AND THE QAWALI STYLE MELODY ARE CAPTIVATING THE MANNER
IN WHICH SOMALI PIRATES HOLD KIDNAPPED INDIVIDUALS . FROM THE VERY FIRST
TIME I SAW SEEM 1956 , I REALLY FELL IN DEEP LOVE WITH THIS QAWILY STYLE
CHORUS SONG.
