Another unheard film, that I got familiar with as I started to track a song that I came across after ages. Having heard it on the radio many years ago, I found it again few days ago on YouTube.
The film is ‘Sachche Moti’ (1962) – a film produced under the banner of Sri Dilip Chitra, Bombay, it is a social drama which is directed by Omi Bedi. The songs are from the pen of Sahir Ludianvi, and the music compositions are by N Dutta.
The star cast of this film includes lead actors that were probably very new at that time, and then did not fare well in lead roles in the industry after that. The cast of actor is – Zabeen, Suresh Puri, Johnny Walker, Sulochana, Manmohan Krishan, Jeevan, Master Romi, Susheel Kumar, Shammi, Gopi Krishan, Naaz, Helen, SN Bannerjee, Tun Tun Munshi Munakka, Ravikant, Nazir Kashmiri, Preetam Kumar, SL Shah, Ranjeet Kumar, Dubey, Moolchand, Madhu Apte etc. I do not have any more idea about this film, and request other knowledgeable readers to please add more information about this film, and the lead actors.
The song is a romantic duet rendered by Suman Kalyanpur and Mahendra Kapoor. Although not familiar with the faces of the lead actors, my guess is that the duo singing it on screen are Zabeen and Suresh Puri. Disregarding the on screen performances, the song itself is a wonderful gem. When I heard it once again recently, it was a tickling reminder from the past. A song of two hearts in love, wonderful words and melody. Enjoy.

Lyrics
ae mere
meharbaan
ab na le
imtihaan
hum bhi tere huye
dil bhi tera huaa
ab hamen aazmaana hai kya
ae mere meharbaan
shaam ke saaye dhalne lagey
dard karwat badalney lagey
shaam ke saaye dhalne lagey
dard karwat badalney lagey
jab chali thhandi thhandi hawaa
dil ke armaan machalne lagey
saans ghutney lagi
aas chhutney lagi
is qadar bhi sataanaa hai kya
ae mere
meharbaan
ab na le
imtihaan
hum bhi tere huye
dil bhi tera huaa
ab hamen aazmaana hai kya
ae mere meharbaan
jab pukaaro chaley aayenge
dil ki dhadkan mein lehraayenge
aaa aaa aaaa
aaa aaaa aaaa
jab pukaaro chaley aayenge
dil ki dhadkan mein lehraayenge
hum kisi haal mein bhi rahen
door tum se na reh paayenge
tum bulaati raho
jee lubhaati raho
to khushi ka thhikaanaa hai kya
ae mere
meharbaan
ab na le
imtihaan
hum bhi tere huye
dil bhi tera huaa
ab hamen aazmaana hai kya
ae mere meharbaan
tum milo to miley roshni
tum hanso to hanse har kali
tum ruko to zamaanaa rukey
tum chalo to chaley zindagi
tum jo hum se miley
mit gaye sab giley
ab hamen aur paanaa hai kya
ae mere
meharbaan
ab na le imtihaan
hum bhi tere huye
dil bhi tera huaa
ab hamen aazmaana hai kya
ae mere meharbaan

She lives in Dadar,Mumbai nowadays.
The Hero Suresh puri is an unknown name.probably.he is only Suresh.In the filmography provided by jabeen herself Hero’s name in only Suresh.
The director of this film Omi Bedi was a cinematographer basically.besides Sachche moti,he had also directed Raju-67.
Sachche Moti is a story of Raju(Suresh)nwho is a compulsive liar and a big prankster.His mother Shobha(Sulochana) and all people around are fed up of him and his pranks.Meena(Jabeen) loves him.She is also fed up.One day,Raju decides to go staright and be truthful.He witnesses a murder by chance and knows the murderer.Therefore,when his friend Ramesh is arrested,he starts telling that Seth Dharamdas is the culprit and not Ramesh,but no one believes hi dut to his history.
Seth Dharamdas kidnaps him to kill him,as he is the eye witness of the murder.Meena saves him and dharamdas is arrested.
Though the storyline was good,the film was not successful.

I am sure Arunkumar Deshmukhji will confirm the lead pair for you. The song is indeed melodious, though I am hearing it for the first time though.
