During the 1950s, almost all Hindi movies had an underlying social or political message. Those were the years when Hindi cinema showcased the aspirations and challenges of a newly Independent India. Come 1960s, and the decade changed the face of Indian cinema.

From Mughal-E-Azam to Guide and Waqt to Junglee, the era brought colour, romance, optimism, and humor.

Kohinoor (1960) is one such movie which broke the shackles of tragedy and provided the audience wholesome entertainment, with a historical plot.

Lyrics

निजरूप दाखवा हो

हरिदर्शनास द्या हो

Nija-rūpa dākhavā ho

Hari-darśanāsa dyā ho

Show your form, ye

Give the vision of Hari, ye

अवरुद्ध साद माझा, प्रतिसाद त्यास द्या हो

आला गजेन्द्रमोक्षा तैसे पुनश्च या हो

जळत्या निळ्या विजेची प्रभु एक झेप घ्या हो

Avaruddha sāda māzhā, pratisāda tyāsa dyā ho

Ālā gaj'endra-mokṣā taise punaśca yā ho

Zaḷatyā niḷyā vijecī Prabhu eka jhepa ghyā ho

My call is trapped inside, give it a response call, ye

As ye came to free the elephant-lord, come again, ye

Owner, take one leap of burning blue lightning, ye

नरसिंह होउनीया घुमवीत गर्जनासी

शतसूर्यतेज दावा अज्ञात या जनासी

भ्याला समुद्र क्रोधा ते रामचन्द्र व्हा हो

Nara-siṃha hounīyā ghumavīta garjanāsī

Śata-sūrya-teja dāvā ajñāta yā janāsī

Bhyālā samudra krodhā te Rāmacandra vhā ho

Becoming Man-Lion, making your roar resound

Show hundred suns' radiance unknown to this person

Become that Rāmacandra whose fury the ocean feared, ye

पार्थास दाविले ते प्रभु विश्वरूप दावा

मुरलीमनोहरा या वा वाजवीत पावा

एका कराङ्गुलीने गोवर्धना धरा हो

Pārthāsa dāvile te Prabhu viśva-rūpa dāvā

Muralī-manoharā yā vā vāzavīta pāvā

Ekā kar'āṅgulīne Govardhanā dharā ho

Owner, show that cosmic form that ye showed to Pṛthā's son

Or as him of captivating flute come, making flute-music

With one finger of your hand, hold up Govardhana, ye

राजभ्रमा पटू द्या प्रत्यक्ष एकवार

श्रीकृष्ण विष्णु राम तोचि विठू महार

जाळी तनामनासी ती आग शान्तवा हो

Rāja-bhramā paṭū dyā pratyakṣa eka-vāra

ŚrīKṛṣṇa Viṣṇu Rāma toci Viṭhū Mahāra

Zāḷī tanā-manāsī tī āga śāntavā ho

Let a ruler's confusion be convinced directly one time

Distinguished Kṛṣṇa, Viṣṇu, Rāma - the same is Viṭhū Mahāra

What burns body and mind, subdue that fire, ye

This song has no connection to history or mythology. The story is plain fiction, not historical fiction or mythology.

Edited to add:

The movie's portrayal of Umrao Jan's performing arts through songs like this one is historically inaccurate. As one can learn by reading the novel, Umrao Jan's singing was the real deal - classical music with deep understanding of Rāga structure. She didn't sing ghazals while dancing; she might dance early in the evening, and then take her seat to sing, and later recite ghazal poetry. The movie saves time by jumbling it all together for the assumed short attention span of movie spectators.
