I have not heard about this movie called “Ambar” (1952) nor was I aware of any songs from this movie. I stumbled upon the songs of this movie recently.
Here is a song ” zamaana sach kahta hai” from this movie. It is sung by Rafi and Lata and it is picturised on Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Shakeel Badayuni wrote the song and Ghulam Mohammad composed the music.
It is one of the rare songs where Rafi sings for Raj Kapoor. And it is a nice song to listen to.

Song-Zamaana sach kahta hai (Ambar) (1952) Singers-Rafi, Lata, Lyrics-Shakeel Badayuni, MD-Ghulam Mohammad
Lyrics
duniyaa mein
duniyaa mein
duniyaa mein nahin koyi yaar wafaadaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
yahaan karnaa kisi se pyaar hai bekaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
dukh-dard kaa hai baazaar ye sansaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
milnaa hai yahaan dushwaar dil ko karaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
kar gaye wo bhi hamse kinaaraa
jinko basaayaa man mein
pyaar ki baazi jeet sakaa hai
koyi na is jeewan mein
koyi na is jeewan mein
hoti hai yahaan har baar dil ki haar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
qismat ne majboor banaakar
chheen liyaa sukh hamse
kaayaa is qaid men aa kar
kaun bachaa hai gham se
kaun bachaa hai gham se
chalte hain yahaan par waar gham ke hazaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
duniyaa mein nahin koyi yaar wafaadaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
dukh-dard kaa hai baazaar ye sansaar
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai
zamaanaa sach kahtaa hai

Very few people know that Ghulam Mohammad was the main assistant of Naushad. He was in charge of the rhythm section, an arranger and a conductor. He was also an accomplished tabla player. His music in film Shama and Pakeeza is evergreen and immortal.
Another muscian like Ghulam Mohammad was Dattaram, who was the sould and heart of Shankar-Jaikishan Duo. He too independentlycomposed music for many films such as Ab Dilli Dur Nahin etc.
