The lyrics are by Saba Afghani, an Urdu poet from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. This song was the block buster hit song in the Bollywood movie Noor Mahal released in 1965.
The music composition for this song was by Jani Babu Qawwal. He wanted to have it sung by Lata Mangeshkar but Lata ji, in her pride, refused to even listen to a tune composed by a relatively unknown Qawwal. Jani Babu then chose Suman Kalyanpur for the recording of his song and Suman delivered an amazing quality of singing . . . this song became Suman Ji's best known and most well loved song . . . the depth of feeling and the pathos she conveyed in this song is unmatched, some critics say, even by Lata ji . . .
