The opening verse
of Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye,
from Pyaasa, could be translated to, “So
what if I inherit this world of palaces, thrones, crowns and of the society
which is man’s enemy, this world which is greedy for money and adheres to
norms?”
These lines,
which became immortal, were penned by none other than Sahir Ludhianvi, and
conveyed the cynicism of Guru Dutt, a genius who was under-appreciated in his
lifetime.
The track, which
was five minutes and eight seconds long, was composed by S D Burman and
rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
