R.D. Burman re-used portions of the tune of the song "Hamen Raaston Ki Zaroorat Nahin Hai" ("Naram Garam", 1981) in two other songs - this song and "Saagar Kinare" ("Saagar", 1985). This tune itself had other precursors in Bollywood - "Thandi Hawayen" ("Naujawan", 1951), "Tera Dil Kahan Hai" ("Chandni Chowk", 1954), "Yehi Hai Tamanna Tere Dar Ke Samne" ("Aap Ki Parchhaiyan", 1964) and "Rahen Na Rahen Hum" ("Mamta", 1966). The Tamil film song "Konjum Puraave" ("Thai Ullam", 1952) sung by M.L. Vasanthakumari was also based on the same tune.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
