This song was a stanD(o)ut(t)

One of the songs on its soundtrack of Pyaasa, which was otherwise a pessimistic film, was Hum Aap Ki Aankhon Mein, which was rendered by Geeta and Mohammed Rafi.

So it wouldn’t be wrong to call it the film’s surprise package.

It was included at the behest of distributors seeking relief from the on-screen sadness. But since it went on to become very popular, Hindi film music lovers indeed owe them a Dutt of gratitude.

The track, was five minutes and 42 seconds long, was penned by Sahir Ludhianvi and composed by S D Burman.
