दया करो भगवान

'Daya Karo Bhagwan' is one of eleven devotional numbers Master Krishnarao composed for Mali (1944), the Hindi version of Rajkamal Kalamandir's bilingual saint-film about the Varkari gardener-saint Savata Mali. Written by the lyricist Bekal, it is a prayer for divine grace cast in the bhajan idiom that suited the film's spiritual subject. Singer credits for the film are not documented in the surviving song records.

Master Krishnarao, a classically trained Maharashtrian composer-singer rooted in the abhang and bhajan tradition, gives the song a reverent, melody-first treatment — a slow devotional pace led by voice and harmonium rather than percussion, in keeping with the film's saintly theme.
