“Abhimaan”(1957) was directed by Mahesh Kaul for Filmistaan Limited, Bombay. The movie had Ameeta, Shekhar, Chand Usmani, Mehmood, Nazeer Hussain, Badri Prasad, Leela Mishra, Shakuntala, Sheila Vaz, Vitthaldas Panchotiya, Indira Bansal, Kusum Thakur, Ramavtaar, Yakub etc in it.
Today (31 may 2016) is the 13th death anniversary of Anil Biswas (7 july 1914- 31 may 2003). On this occasion, here is a song from “Abhimaan”(1957). This song is sung by Manna Dey and chorus. Pt Madhur is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
The song is picturised as a bhajan/ beggar song on an actor alongwith a female actor and a kid. I am unable to identify any of them. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

A short version of this number plays right at the beginning of the movie when the credits are shown. It is no more on YouTube but I have its video clip. In that version, the singer does not sound quite like Manna De. I am emailing it to Atulji to consider uploading and posting it.
