The film is about a young man torn between love for his long lost childhood sweetheart, and devotion towards a friend who has helped set him up in his career. The film features music by Khayyam. The original soundtrack contains some of the most famous songs, like “Jane Kya Dhoondti Rahti”, “ Phir Wohi Saawan Aaya”, “Jeet Hi Lenge Baaji”, “Pahele To Aankh Milana”, “Ladi Re Ladi’ etc.
The present composition was presented in the form of a ballet on the stage. Music was composed by, Khaiyyam using four ragas. The singers are Manna Dey, Geeta Dutt and Kaumudi Munshi. This composition shows the departure of Krishna from Gokul to Mathura, leaving behind Radha, Gopikas and all his childhood friends forever. There is a hidden pathos filled atmosphere in this song. This, a unique creation of music director Khaiyyam, who is capable of drawing the whole episode before our eyes, whenever we listen to it. The lyrics of this song were penned by Pt. Ram Murti Chaturvedi.

bansi to mein kaun gun, jaa pe rijhe naath
mukh se gaaye rahet hai har dam raakhe saath
( janam baans ghar bhayo hamaaro, kaat hamen koi laayo
tukade tukade kar ke mohe ang agan ghulsaayo
aath chhed more tan kinho nithur pran mero har lino
tan nahi mero man nahi mero aur sakhi nahi jeevan mero )
wohi soor main baajun radhe jo bhagwan bajaaye
wohi boli bolun radhe jo bhagwan bulaaye
