Amma ek roti de
Posted on: August 6, 2013
“Samaaj Ko Badal Daalo” (1970) was a Gemini Combines Production. It was directed by V Madhusudana Rao. The movie had Prem Chopra, Dhumal, Aruna Irani, Mehmood, Praveen Paul, Pran, Naqi Mohan, Jayshree T., Sharda, Ajay Sahni, Kanchana, Shammi, Kanhaiyalal, Dubey, Mukri etc in it.
Here is a song from the movie. It is sung by Lata and Usha Mangeshkar. It is picturised on three young kids as a beggar song. I know it is a movie, but still I cannot bring myself to watch a picturisation like this and so I have noted down the lyrics of this song by mostly listening to the audio without watching the video.
Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.

Lyrics
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
bhookhe bachche maang rahe hain
kab se haath pasaar ke
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
ek nahin to aadhi de de
aaadha pet hi bhar lenge
ek nahin to aadhi de de
aaadha pet hi bhar lenge
rookhi sookhi jo bhi milegi
khaa ke guzaara kar lenge
sab khaate hain
aur ham kab se
khade hain man ko maar ke
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
doodh malaai na maangen ham
laddoo peda na maangen
doodh malaai na maangen ham
laddoo peda na maangen
roti ka tukda dilwaa do
rupya paisa na maangen
chhota sa ye pet hamaara
kab se kahe pukaar ke
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
toone ya tere bachchon ne
jo bhi joothha chhoda ho
toone ya tere bachchon ne
jo bhi joothha chhoda ho
paas bulaa kar de de hamko
bahut ho chaahe thhoda ho
kuchh to de do
yoon hi na lauta dena dutkaar ke
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
bhookhe bachche maang rahe hain
kab se haath pasaar ke
amma ek roti de
baba ek roti de
