Trivia
- Several changes had to be made to this song to address the Censor Board's objections. As a result, the lyrics of the version of the song used in the film were very different from those in the 78 rpm version. The song, issued in two parts in the original 78 rpm release, contained several references to Ram, Sita, Ramayan, and Valmiki. While these references were retained in the song's mukhda, almost all other references were replaced with other words. For example, the opening lines "Duniyawalo Ram Siya ki kahani sun lo / Valmeek se khoob suni ab meri zabaani sun lo" were replaced with "Duniyawalo ik abla ki dukhi kahani sun lo / Haar jeet to khoob hui ab meri zabaani sun lo". Similarly, the first antara "Tumne naam suna Sita main use dekh ke aaya hoon / O dharm ke thekedaaron main ik nayi Ramayan laaya hoon / Woh Sita thi Ramayan ki yeh hai jeeti jaagti / Roothe hue Ram se yeh khoya pyar maangti" was changed to "Tumne naam suna dukhiya main use dekh ke aaya hoon / O desh ke bahano bhaiyo main ik nayi shikayat laaya hoon / Yeh hai maata yeh hai biwi dukhiya jeeti jaagti / Roothe hue nath se yeh khoya pyar maangti". The closing lines - "Jhoothi hai Ramayan saari jhootha bhagwan hai / Dharm jhootha prem jhootha jhootha Hindustan hai / Deviyon pe dosh lage aaj mere des mein / Sita to hai Ram nahin aaj mere des mein" - were deleted from the film. The song sequence in the film was shot using the original version. As a result, discrepancies between Raj Kapoor's lip-syncing and the revised version's lyrics are evident.
