Rehnuma, starring Rehana Sultan and Vinod Mehra, is an uncompleted movie of the early 1970s. I haven’t been able to find any more details about it on the Internet, and would request knowledgeable Atulites to throw some light on it.
In 1972, Madan Mohan recorded four songs for this film penned by Naqsh Lyallpuri, but the movie got shelved for some reason … and the songs were just lost. But later they were found on his tapes after his demise and released by his family on a rare LP … and were included in the album Tere Bagair released by YRF Music.
Mere Ashqo.n Ka Gham Na Kar Aye Dil is one of the four soulful numbers from that ill-fated movie, vocalised by Sur Saraswati Lata Mangeshkar as only she can. This emotional ghazal with a typical Madan Mohan style melody is presented with modern arrangements as was perhaps the requirement of the film.
The link here is of a brief audio clip of Madan Mohan trying out different variations of tunes when composing this song before finalizing the version recorded in Lata’s vocals. It is accessible on YouTube here.
If this number was actually filmed, it’s reasonable to assume that it would have been on Rehana Sultan. Its actual video clip is not available, but a version of the song voiced-over on the Bollywood Venus Madhubala from an assortment of clips from her various movies can be viewed here.
Singer Bella Sulakhe presented this number credibly in a live show which is worth a watch here.

Song–Mere Ashqon Ka Gham Na Kar Ae Dil (Rehnuma)(UR)(1972) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Naqsh Llayalpuri, MD-Madan Mohan
Lyrics
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar aye dil
Apni barbaadiyon se dar ae dil
Apni barbaadiyon se dar ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar aye dil
Silsila rok beeti baaton ka
Silsila rok beeti baaton ka
Silsila rok beeti baaton ka
Warna tadpega raat bhar ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar ae dil
Raah sunsaan hai andhera hai
Raah sunsaan hai andhera hai
Raah sunsaan hai andhera hai
Kaise tay hoga yeh safar ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar ae dil
Teer barsaaye chaand ki kirnen
Teer barsaaye chaand ki kirnen
Teer barsaaye chaand ki kirnen
Raat ke nange jism par ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar ae dil
Apni barbaadiyon se dar, ae dil
Mere ashkon ka gham na kar ae dil
Ae dil
Ae dil
Ae dil
Ae dil

Dear Shekhar ji,
Thanks for bringing such a rare gem before us. There is one point of confusion though. The various versions on YouTube mentions RAJINDER KISHAN as the Lyricist. Only the Facebook Post mentions NAQSH LYALLPURI.
Is there anyway to authenticate the real Lyricist?
With warm regards

Parthaji, On Madan Mohan’s official website listing all 15 songs in the album “Tere Bagair”, lyricist of this number is shown as Naqsh Lyallpuri. Pl. see it at https://www.madanmohan.in/html/tere_bagair/tbmusic.html.

Thanks for the link Shekhar ji. Is it just me.. I do not particularly like these remastered versions of these songs.. just does not sound right. Similar to the ‘with Jhankar Beats’ in the 90s.
