ये दुनिया है दीवानों की

'Ye Duniya Hai Diwano Ki' is a reflective, world-weary song from the 1943 social drama Inkaar, scored by Ashok Ghosh for Sudhir Sen's picture. The figure of the diwana — the one driven mad by love or by the world — and the declaration that the world belongs to such souls is a recurring philosophical conceit in Hindi film lyric, well suited to a social picture about refusal and heartbreak. The singer and lyricist are not documented in available sources.

Ashok Ghosh would have set a philosophy-song of this kind in a measured, mid-tempo ghazal-leaning style — a reflective melody with room for the lyric to land, carried on a gentle tabla pulse and a sparse harmonium — the contemplative register early-1940s composers gave the world-weary number.
