This song Be(gu)(ca)me extremely popular

If the letters in the name of Shamshad, who sang Boojh Mera Kya Naam Re from C.I.D., were rearranged and split into two words, they would spell the words smash and had. And indeed, the song had Be(gu)(co)me a smash hit (which is what it continues to be).

The track – whose first two lines translate to, “Guess my name. My village is on the banks of a river. In my courtyard sways a peepal tree, providing cool shade” – was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

And it was none other than O P Nayyar who composed it.
