This Mukesh song wasn’t ho-hum

Aasman Pe Hai Khuda was from Phir Subah Hogi, which released in 1958. It was composed by Mohammed Zahur Khayyam Hashmi, better known as Khayyam.

The next two lines of the track went, “Aur zameen pe hum. Aaj kal woh is taraf dekhta hai kum.

Its opening verse could be translated to, “There’s a God in the sky, and we are on earth. But nowadays, He doesn’t look in this direction (as) often (as He ought to).”

It was a couple of minutes and 31 seconds long, penned by Sahir Ludhianvi and rendered by Mukesh.
