हम तो तंग आ के दुनिया से मर जाएँगे

One of the eleven songs Rafiq Ghaznavi composed for Hind Pictures' 1942 social drama Society, directed by Nazir. Sung as a duet by Gop and Kalyani, the number sits in the film's lighter register, its title a half-comic lament about being fed up with the world. Like the rest of the soundtrack, the words are by the Urdu poet Hasrat Lakhnavi.

Rafiq Ghaznavi — a singer-composer of Pathan aristocratic background known for his ghazal sensibility — keeps the duet conversational, letting the comic singers Gop and Kalyani trade lines over a light harmonium-and-tabla bed rather than a heavy orchestral arrangement.
