The biggest hit song from the album was "Papa Kehte Hain".[19] Majroosh saab (as he is fondly known) wrote the song at the age of 70. Sung by Narayan and picturised on Aamir Khan, the full title of the song is "Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam Karega",[20] which translates to "My dad says that I'll make him proud!".[21]
Mere mehboob qayamat hogi, translates to English as, my love, your judgement day will come... It is from the 1964 film Mr X in Bombay, which was a comedy science fiction in which Kishore Kumar is the actor and singer.
In the film storyline the characters played by Kishor Kumar and Kumkum love each other, but she was unable to marry him for other reasons and turns him down. Broken hearted, he decides to end his life and drinks an experimental potion that renders him invisible, and consequently he thinks that he is dead. He then goes to the girls house and sings this song, and although she cannot see him she can hear him, and therefore she thinks that it is his spirit that has come back to haunt her. This song and the screenplay for it is therefore a dramatisation in this context. Having a guilty conscience, she felt that there would be a judgement day and that she would be punished. Hence, qayamat can be considered to be judgement day, also known as the day of reckoning. Some cultures believe that a man in a hood (if they have been bad) will come to judge their deeds. Interestingly, in the screenplay of this song, they show a ghostly apparition in a hood visiting the woman. Once the effects of the potion wears off, he reappears and thinks that he has come back from the dead; hence qayamat can also mean resurrection. Interestingly, in Arabic speaking countries, qayamat is more related with resurrection as in qama (hin kayamat).
For the most part the Hindi is simple to understand and even if you did not know the Urdu words, it is possible to figure out the meaning. The best way to follow the lines is to listen to the song on YouTube at the same time.
