This track certainly BeggareD belief

If the two tracks from Ankhen (1968) on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, De Data Ke Naam Tujhko Allah Rakhe would be the first.

Undoubtedly, its best line was, “Arre dinar nahin to dollar chalega, arre kameez nahin to kameez ka collar chalega” (the international fakir’s cry, which could be translated to, “If you can’t give me a dinar, I would not mind a dollar. If you can’t give me a shirt, I wouldn’t mind its collar”).

Sahir Ludhianvi penned the Ravi composition, which was rendered by Manna Dey and Asha Bhosle.
