“Hari Ko Bisaro Na Bisrayenge” is a soulful devotional hymn from the 1949 mythological film Narsinh Avtar. Released during the same prolific year as her iconic hits in Mahal and Barsaat, this song highlights a different facet of Lata Mangeshkar’s genius—her ability to imbue spiritual compositions with a sense of divine calm and unwavering faith.
The music was composed by the legendary Vasant Desai, a maestro known for his classical leanings and his ability to create melodies that feel like a prayer. The lyrics were penned by Pandit Narendra Sharma, a renowned poet whose words often carried deep philosophical and spiritual weight. The song serves as a reminder of the omnipresence of the Divine (Hari ke hain koti haath—Hari has millions of hands) and the promise that God never forgets those who remember Him.
In this track, Lata Mangeshkar’s voice possesses a meditative purity. Before the advent of high-pitched playback styles, this song showcased her “sahaj” (natural) singing, making it a favorite for morning prayers across Indian households for decades. Picturized on the young Mahipal (who played the role of Prahlad), the song remains a timeless testament to the power of “Bhakti” (devotion) in Indian cinema.

Hari ko bisaro na bisrayenge lyrics :
Hari ko bisaro naa,
Hari naa bisarenge
Hari ko bisaro naa,
Hari naa bisarenge
Ghir ghir aaye vipada
Ghir ghir aaye vipada
Hari dukh tarenge
Hari dukh tarenge,
Hari naa bisarenge
Hari ke hain koti haath,
Hari hai anath naath
Ur dharo hari ko toh
Ur dharo hari ko toh
Hari naa bisarenge,
Hari ko bisaro naa
Saato janam palak hain,
Dushton ke dhalak hain
Hari hari naam japa,
Hari hari, hari hari
Hari hari naam japa,
Hari hee ubharenge
Hari hee ubharenge
Hari hee ubharenge
Hari naa bisarenge,
Hari ko bisaro naa.
