Kaam karo bhai kaam karo
Posted by: Atul on: July 17, 2009
Indians had great nationalistic fervour in the years after independence. There were a few movies made during those days that talked about working to make the country prosperous.
Such movies tended to be very simplistic where the lead actors would go to the countryside and preach people to work hard. Here in this song it is Dev Ananad and Suraiyya who do the preaching in this song, where they exhort the peasants to do manual work-“kaam karo bhai kaam karo” (work friends, work)
The song is sung by Vinod and Suraiyya. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist and Shyam Babu Pathak composed the music.
The baddies cannot stand people working and they try to stop people from doing that, since their money lending business has suffered. So there is another, villain’s version of this song to, where people are preached not to work manually, since their work is going to be futile. Instead they should adopt machines (Tractors) to work. And of course they would be given loans by the money lenders for that.This song is sung by a pretty damsel on a stage and its playback is by Geeta Roy ( as Geeta Dutt was then known as) and Vinod.

kyun din-raat ho mehnat karte
aur phir bhi ho tum bhookhon marte
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
aao meri sharan mein aao aao aao
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
aao meri sharan mein aao aao aao
tum jo kaam karo barson mein
main kar sakti hoon minuton mein
tum jo kaam karo barson mein
main kar sakti hoon minuton mein

usko poojo to dukh paao
mujhko poojo to sukh paao
aao meri sharan mein aao aao aao
o devi poojaa ko teri
chahiye dhan-daulat ki dheri
o devi poojaa ko teri
chahiye dhan-daulat ki dheri
sonaa-chaandi kahaan se laayen
paas tere ham kaise aayen
sonaa-chaandi kahaan se laayen
paas tere ham kaise aayen
ham hain tumhre sevak bhaiyaa
ham hain tumhre daas
ham hain tumhre sevak bhaiyaa
ham hain tumhre daas
aao saath hamaare aao
dil kaa bhed mitaa do
nayi machinon se dhan ke
dher ke dher lagaa do
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
kyun dukh jhelo praan ganwaao
aao meri sharan mein aao aao aao

youtube accounts are sometimes arbitrarily suspended and the non availability of this song is for this reason. I will provide alternative links soon.
