This is a song from film ‘Shair’ (1949). I am not sure if that is the correct name for this film. If the name is ‘Shaayar’ or ‘Shaayir’ than it will mean ‘the poet’. If it is ‘Shair’ than it is ‘a couplet’. Eight songs from this film have appeared in this blog. I was able to find only one Rafi song in this film which is luckily not posted.

Rote hain nainaa gham ke maare

Despite the words of this song, the picturisation of this song is anything but melancholic. This song is a dance song, where Cuckoo and her troop of dancers sing and dance this song. The dance performance is being watched by many people including Nargis, who is watching it disinterestedly. Her face perks up when she finds Raj Kapoor joining in the dance performance in disguise. Raj Kapoor is so well disguised that he sings in the voice of Rafi, instead of the usual Mukesh. 
For that matter, Raj Kapoor dancing is in itself a good enough disguise.
