This song was R. D. Burman from his father’s earlier Indian Bengali-language song “Barne, Gandhe, Chhande, Gitite” from 1969 which was devotional song. Lyrics were written Mira Dev Burman. Sung by S. D. Burman.

Lyrics transliterated to the Hindi song:

Phoolon Ke Rang Se Dil Ki Kalam Se Tujh Ko Likhi Roj Paati

Kaise Bataaoo Kis Kis Tarah Se Pal Pal Mujhe Too Sataati

Tere Hi Sapane Lekar Ke Soya Tere Hi Yaadon Mein Jaga

Tere Khayalo Mein Ulajha Raha Yoo Jaise Ke Mala Mein Dhaga

Haan Baadal Bijali Chandan Paani Jaisa Apna Pyaar
