जोगन तेरी नगरी कहाँ

A song from the 1943 film Kurbani, sung by Vishni Lal to lyrics by Wali Sahab and music by Khemchand Prakash. The 'jogan' (female ascetic) address and the question of her 'nagari' (town/abode) point to a devotional or renunciation-flavoured number woven into the film's drama.

Khemchand Prakash sets the piece in a slow, devotional cadence; the composer, steeped in classical raga, often coloured such renunciate songs with a meditative, raga-leaning melody, kept here within the era's light filmi treatment.
