His first recognition, for his patriotic song, "Chal chal re naujawan" (Come on ye Youth), in film Bandhan (1940), though it was for writing a daringly patriotic song, Door Haaton aye Duniya walon (Move Away O Outsiders), in India's first golden jubilee hit, Kismet (1943), that his status as nationalistic writer got immortalized, as soon after the film's release, having provoked the ire of British government, he was forced to go underground to avoid arrest [3].
