Permit permit permit
Posted on: April 21, 2009
These days, we take many things in life for granted. But that was not the case in the past. In India of 1950s, for example, one needed permits for even small things in life- viz drinking. Yes, though Indians had adopted democracy, the official mindset was very much that of socialism.
“Apna Haath Jagannath” (1960), a forgotten movie had looked at the Indian way of life in a light hearted manner. Kishore Kumar acted in this movie and sang his songs as well. And what laugh riots his song are !
I have posted one song from this movie viz “dhole, tu daag apne dil ke aaj dhole”. Here is another funny song from the movie that looks at permits that were very important part in the lives of Indians.
The song is written by Kaifi Azmi and music is by S D Burman. The picture quality of this video is poor, but that does not detract from the humour and satire of the situation that this song depicts.

permit
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
ae permit
ae permit
duniya se bada tu duniya basaane waale
tujhse bhi hain oonche permit banaane waale
huye paida to permit aur rahen zinda to permit
uthen murda to permit
paida to permit
zinda to permit
murda to permit
haay haay
dekho ye zamaana
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
ek roz gaye ji ham daaroo chadhaane
dekho ye tamasha pahunche wahaan se thaane
hua ye ham pe sitam
wahaan jakde gaye ham
maanga permit jo udham
haay haay
hamne kahaa na na
permit permit permit
permit ke liye marmit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
oy Paankoo
oy Laloo
chaaha tha permit se apni jaan bachaa len
jaane na zamaana chupke se zahar khaa len
gaye ham ik dukaan par
kaha do zahar mistar
to bolaa wo sitamgar
kyaa kyaa
permit to dikhaana
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
Majnu ne Laila se shaadi ko jab kahaa
boli mujhe na poocho
abba se milo jaa
budhe ka hukka bhara
bola kya sar hai phira
shaadi ke pahle zara
[cough cough]
permit to dikhaana
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
permit ke liye mar mit
permit binaa is jahaan me do din bhi na jiyaa jaaye
permit permit permit
