I was under the impression that I had posted this song already. But when I checked up, I find that I was wrong.
This is a song from “Deewaana” (1952). The lyrics “tasweer banaataa hoon teri khoone jigar se” came a couple of years prior to a fairly silmilarly worded song Tasweer banata hoon tasweer nahin banti(Baradari).

I have posted many songs in this blog where the hero and heroine are going on a drive and the hero (if he is a singing type, viz Dev Anand) bursts into a song. Then we have cases of historical/ mythological movies where the duo are riding on a chariot. If the hero is a non-singing type (like Dara Singh) then the onus of singing falls on the tender shoulders of the heroine (typically Mumtaz).

I am not much familar with this movie called “Milaap” (1955). Apparently it was a suspense movie directed by Raj Khosla. The movie had Dev Anand, Geeta Bali, K N Singh, Tuntun,Johny Walker, Tuntun etc. The star cast is quite impressive, and this appears to be good movie to watch if one can get hold of it.
