Composer Ghulam Mohammed is a classical case where throughout the life man lives with the hope of getting his desires fulfilled, but till the end he achieves nothing and it is after his death only that people realize his worth. He worked as an assistant with great music directors like Anil Biswas and Naushad for over 12 years. His first movie as solo composer was Tiger Queen (1947). He went on to give music in many memorable films and even won the 1955 National Film Award for Best Music Direction for his film Mirza Ghalib (1954). His songs from his last film Pakeezah (1971) are still considered some of the all time great songs in Hindi Film music.

Geeta Dutt has sung relatively few songs with this veteran music director, the majority of the songs being from the film Dil Ki Basti (1949) starring Masood, Lalita Pawar and Nigar Sultana.In this album, Geeta sings a fast paced duet with the veteran singer Zohrabai and two romantic duets with the melodious G. M. Durrani (including the title song of the film). She has sung three more solos, but the pick of the album is her romantic chhed-chhad duet “Naazuk dil hain tod na dena” with G. M. Durrani. The same year she sang “Koi pukare piya piya oh sajan teri yaad mein”
