Very popular 70s Hindi film song - Yaari Hai Emaan Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi
Very popular 70s Hindi film song - Yaari Hai Emaan Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi - sung by Manna Dey. Main actors are Pran and Amitabh and the film is Zanjeer (1973).
Yaari Hai Iman Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi - Manna Dey - Zanjeer (1973) - HD, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KIcWTV3MME, 6 min. 36 secs.
A great line from the song:
Jaan bhi jaaye agar yaari mein yaaro gam nahi
Informal English translation of it is:
Even if life is lost in friendship, friends there is no sorrow
The main line of the song: Yaari hain emaan mera yaar meri zindagi
informally translated means: Friendship is my Dharma (religion) and my friend is my life.
Pran plays the role of a Pathan/Pashtun, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashtuns. Pathans had (and may still have) the reputation of being fiercely independent and are Muslims traditionally hailing from Pakistan and Afghanistan. BTW current Pakistani president Imran Khan is a Pathan/Pashtun.
I think this song celebrates the best of friends that, according to tradition and reputation, Pathans can be of people who are good to them and that they like. In the movie script, after an initial altercation, Pran becomes a thick friend of Amitabh.
Pathans, according to tradition and reputation, also can be the worst of enemies.
