Lyrics :-
Dil aaj shaayar hai gham aaj naghma hai
shab ye ghazal hai sanam
Dil aaj shaayar hai gham aaj naghma hai
shab ye ghazal hai sanam
gairon ke sheron ko o sunne waale
ho is taraf bhi qaram

aake zara dekh to teri khaatir
ham kis tarah se jiye
aake zara dekh to teri khaatir
ham kis tarah se jiye
aansoo ke dhaage se seete rahe ham
jo zakhm toone diye
chahat ki mahfil me gham tera lekar
qismat se khela jua
duniya se jeete par tujhse haare
yoon khel apna hua

hai pyaar hamne kiya jis tarah se
uska na koyi jawaab
hai pyaar hamne kiya jis tarah se
uska na koyi jawaab
zarrat hai lekin teri lau me jalkar ham ban gaye aaftaab
ham se hai zinda wafa aur hameen se
hai teri mahfil jawaan
ham jab na honge to ro ro ke
duniya dhoondhegi mere nishaan

ye pyaar koyi khilona nahin hai
har koyi le jo khareed
ye pyaar koyi khilona nahin hai
har koyi le jo khareed
meri tarah zindagi bhar tadap lo
phir aana mujhke qareeb
ham to musafir hain koi safar ho
ham to guzar jayenge hi
lekin lagaaya hai jo daaon hamne
wo jeet kar aayenge hi
wo jeet kar aayenge hi
wo jeet kar aayenge hi...

Dev Anand had three stints with films made under the Nalanda banner. He began, with Amarjeet as director, with “Teen Deviyan” in 1965 featuring three heroines — Nanda, Kalpana and Simi — and some superb music by Sachin Dev Burman. “Gambler” was followed by “Prem Shastra”, which was directed by B. R. Ishara. With the exception of “Teen Deviyan”, these movies rarely found mention from Dev Anand.

“Gambler” is about an illegitimate child. Left to fend his way in the harsh world, the abandoned child grows into Raja (Dev Anand), proficient at manipulating cards, under the ‘guidance’ of Master (Jeevan). A compelling reason for Raja lending his skills to Master is the latter holding a secret. Master knows Raja’s mother. When Raja befriends Chandra (Zaheeda), daughter of a wealthy businessman, and subsequently falls in love with her, he looks to reform. But Master is a stumbling block.

Julie (Zahira) is Raja’s adopted sister. Every effort by the gambler is confronted with his past and Master. In desperation, Raja looks to bury his past and open a new chapter in his life by settling scores with Master. In the scuffle, Master is murdered and Raja is accused of the crime. A petty gangster Banke Bihari (Shatrughan Sinha), at loggerheads with Raja, later owns up to the murder but not before a stirring courtroom battle involving Raja and the Public Prosecutor (Kishore Sahu).

It was an average movie with some mediocre show by the actors involved. Zaheeda and Zahira were eminently forgettable, but Shatrughan Sinha, still trying to establish himself, comes up with a nice cameo of a gangster having a change of heart. It is Dev Anand who carries the movie. He is at his best in the courtroom scenes with Sahu in splendid form as the public prosecutor. It all ends well with Raja uniting with his parents in the courtroom.

Two songs stood out. “Mera Man Tera Pyaasa” by Mohammad Rafi and “Kaisa Hai Mere Dil Tu Khilari” by Kishore Kumar. The movie, however, fell far below the standards that Dev Anand had set during the first two decades of his career.
