The film's song booklet credited only Qamar Jalalabadi for the lyrics of this song. However, the song's record credited Verma Malik in addition to Qamar.[MR1]
The lyrics of the first antara of this song may have inspired the lyrics of Anand Bakshi's "Chingari Koi Bhadke" ("Amar Prem", 1971). While this song featured the line "Jo aag lagi dil mein ashkon ne bujhaai hai / Ashkon ne jo bhadkaai aag woh kaise bujhegi", Bakshi's lyrics went "Chingari koi bhadke to sawan use bujhaye / Sawan jo agan lagaaye use kaun bujhaaye".[1]
