Lyrics:-
na main bhagwaan hoon
na main shaitaan hoon
duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon
na main bhagwaan hoon
na main shaitaan hoon
arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon

mujh mein bhalaayi bhi
mujh mein buraayi bhi
laakhon hain mail dil mein
thodi safaayi bhi
ho mujh mein bhalaayi bhi
mujh mein buraayi bhi
laakhon hai mail dil mein
thodi safaayi bhi
thoda sa nek hoon
thoda beimaan hoon
arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon
na main bhagwaan hoon
na main shaitaan hoon
bhai duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon

na koi raaj hai
na sar pe taaj hai
phir bhi hamaare dam se
dharti ki laaj hai
na koi raaj hai
na sar pe taaj hai
phir bhi hamaare dam se
dharti ki laaj hai
tan ka gareeb hoon
man ka dhanwaan hoon
arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon
na main bhagwaan hoon
na main shaitaan hoon
ha aa aa
duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon

jeewan ka geet hai
sur mein na taal mein
uljhi hai saari duniya
roti ke jaal mein
jeewan ka geet hai
sur mein na taal mein
uljhi hai saari duniya
roti ke jaal mein
kaisa andher hai
main bhi hairaan hoon
arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon
na main bhagwaan hoon
na main shaitaan hoon
ho duniya jo chaahe samjhe
main to insaan hoon...

Radha (Nargis), as the mother of the village, is asked to open the canal and remembers back to her past when she was newly married, mirroring the new independence of India. The wedding between Radha and Shamu (Raaj Kumar) was paid for by Radha's mother-in-law, who got a loan from the moneylender Sukhilala. This event starts the spiral of poverty and hardship that Radha endures. The conditions of the loan are disputed, but the village elders decide in favor of the moneylender, after which Shamu and Radha are forced to pay three-quarters of their crop as interest on the loan of 500 rupees. While trying to use more of their land to alleviate their poverty, Shamu's arms are crushed by a boulder. He is shamed by his helplessness and is humiliated by others in the village. Deciding that he is no use to his family, he leaves and does not return. Soon after this, Radha's mother-in-law dies. Radha continues... Written by gavin
