This movie, a historical movie, was adjusted as boring by janta, and they kept away. Songs of this movie did marginally better, though they were by no means Binaca geetmala chart busting songs.

The most popular song from this movie was indeed this song sung by Lata. It was a nice song, almost like the Lata songs circa 1960s. In fact, for some reason, this song reminds me somewhat of the song of “Tower House” that went ” Ae mere dile nadan tu gham se na ghabrana”. Of course, these two songs are of entirely different genre.

Lyrics

ai dil-e-naadaan, ai dil-e-naadaan,
ai dil-e-naadaan
aarzoo kyaa hai, justaju kyaa hai
ai dil-e-naadaan, ai dil-e-naadaan,
aarzoo kyaa hai, justajuu kyaa hai
hmm hmm
ai dil-e-naadaan…

ham bhatakte hain, kyun bhatakate hain, dashto-seharaa mein
aisaa lagtaa hai, mauj pyaasi hai, apne dariyaa mein
kaisi uljhan hai, kyun ye uljhan hai
ek saayaa saa, ru-baru kyaa hai
ai dil-e-naadaan, ai dil-e-naadaan,
aarzoo kyaa hai, justaju kyaa hai

kyaa qayaamat hai, kyaa museebat hai,
kah nahin sakte, kiskaa armaan hai
zindagi jaise, khoyi-khoyi hai, hairaan hairaan hai
ye zameen chup hai, aasamaan chup hai
phir ye dhadkan si, chaar su kyaa hai
ai dil-e-naadaan, ai dil-e-naadaan
