ThemeA romantic serenade praising the intoxicating beauty of the beloved's eyes, comparing their tears (or moisture) to sharab (wine).

Scene Description and Context

The song is picturised on Rajendra Kumar, who, in a famous twist, disguises himself as an old man to be close to Sadhana's character without arousing suspicion. He then sings this soulful, yet playful, ghazal to her, expressing his admiration for her captivating beauty.

The lyrics are deeply poetic, particularly the lines:

Chhalke teri aankhon se sharab aur zyada, Khilte rahe honthon ke gulaab aur zyada.

(Let the wine overflow from your eyes even more, And let the roses of your lips bloom even more.)

It is one of Mohammed Rafi's iconic romantic solos from the mid-60s.
