Fun Facts

Mohammed Rafi’s rendition of the song is considered one of his finest. His voice captures the tenderness, sorrow, and resolve of the character, making the song a vocal expression of inner emotion rather than outward drama.
Laxmikant–Pyarelal used a subtle orchestration consisting of soft strings, haunting flute, and gentle percussion to let the lyrics and vocals shine. The simplicity of the arrangement enhances the song’s emotional impact.
