Trivia

Album

• Madan Mohan recorded for this film what may have been the only Hindi film song that featured the four Mangeshkar sisters - Lata, Asha, Usha, and Meena. The song, "Kabhi Aankhon Mein Teri", however, was not released on records or included in the film.[1]
• Director Vinod Kumar wanted all the male vocals in the film's songs to be rendered by Mohammed Rafi. However, Madan Mohan insisted on including a few songs sung by Talat Mahmood and offered to step down if this was not acceptable. Producer Om Prakash sided with Madan Mohan and the film ended up featuring three Talat Mahmood solos and a Talat duet with Lata Mangeshkar.[2]

Song

• Main Teri Nazar Ka Suroor Hoon - The mukhda of this song was inspired by a ghazal written by Momin Khan 'Momin'. The opening couplet of the ghazal was "Woh jo hum mein tum mein qarar tha tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho / Wahi yaani waada nibaah ka tumhen yaad ho ke na yaad ho".
• Phir Wohi Sham Wohi Gham - Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia played the flute for the first time in Hindi films for this song.[MR10]
• Jab Jab Tumhen Bhulaya - The song started off with the lines of another song from the same film, "Main Teri Nazar Ka Suroor Hoon".
• Teri Aankh Ke Aansoo Pee Jaoon - Rajendra Krishan's opening lines for this song - "Tera gham khwar hoon lekin main tujh tak aa nahin sakta / Main apne naam teri beqasi likhwa nahin sakta" - were inspired by a popular Majaz poem titled "Majbooriyan". This poem was later used for the Hindi film song "Main Aahen Bhar Nahin Sakta" ("Aasman Mahal", 1965).[3]
