Among all the timeless classics sung by Talat Mahmood, this song from “Dil e Naadaan” (1953) must be considered special. The lyrics are so nice that anyone who listens to this song cannot forget them. Shakeel Badayuni, the great lyricist of those days, has come up with this superb lyrics.

Most of Madan Mohan movies were made by struggling movie makers with lesser known actors. In some cases, Madan Mohan worked with bigger names too, but that was either before these people actually became stars ( viz Amitabh Bachchan in “Parwana”) or after they had run their courses ( viz Dev Anand in “Sahib Bahadur”). The first movie where Madan Mohan got to work with big name actors was in “Madhosh” (1952) which had Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Unfortunately this movie did not do well at the box office.
