Trivia
- This poem, recited by Amitabh Bachchan in the film, was a slightly modified version of a poem that was part of Sahir Ludhianvi's first book of poetry "Talkhiyan" (1943). In 1965, HMV had released a record of Sahir reciting the original poem himself. Sahir adapted the poem and wrote new lyrics for the two versions of the film's title song.
- Khayyam had recorded this Sahir Ludhianvi poem earlier for Chetan Anand's shelved film "Kaafir". Sudha Malhotra and Geeta Dutt had recorded that version of the song. Sahir took Chetan Anand's permission to use the poem in this film. However, Anand had a change of heart when the songs became a hit and sent Sahir and Khayyam legal notices claiming copyright infringement! The matter appears to have been resolved out of court.[1][MR5]
