	Cheen-o-Arab humaara’ song for the film Phir Subha Hogi(1958) was a satirical take on two of Iqbal’s poems, ‘Taraana-e-Hind’ (Anthem of Hindustaan) and ‘Taraana-e-Milli’ (Anthem of the Community). The former goes ‘Saare jahaan se achcha, Hindustaan humaara’ (Better than the entire world is this India of ours), while the latter’s opening lines are the same as the song in Phir Subah Hogi, namely, ‘Cheen-o-Arab humaara’, Sahir turned the nationalist call into a call of the oppressed. In grand narrative of Iqbal is contrasted by the grim everyday life where the only recourse are the footpaths of the city.

	The two songs penned by Iqbal reflect a change in his philosophical thinking. Taraana-e-Hindi was composed around the year 1904 when the hope was of a single composite nation and just one country-India. While the second song Taraana-e- Milli or the 'anthem of the community' was composed a few years later where Iqbal talks of the muslims as an international community characterised by Pan-Islamic philosophy.
