Trivia
- It appears that R.D. Burman and Rajinder Krishan adapted the opening lines of this song from a song Mehmood had used previously in his play "Chhote Nawab" which preceded the 1961 film of the same title. The play and these lines in it were written by Mehmood's father Mumtaz Ali. Mehmood had also hummed these lines in his opening scene in the film "Gumnaam" (1965).[1][2][MR9]
- Lata Mangeshkar's vocalisation in the opening of this song was inspired by the Harry Belafonte song "Day-O (Banana Boat Song)". R.D. Burman used a similar vocalisation again in Kishore Kumar's "Samne Ye Kaun Aaya Dil Mein Hui Hulchul" ("Jawani Diwani", 1972).[3][4]
