The song was sung by Mohammed Rafi and composed by Husnlal Bhagatram, and was a great hit. He also tasted success as a lyricist with the films Badi Bahen (1949) and Lahore (1949).

Lyrics -
o raat ke musafir
chanda zara bata de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
o raat ke musafir
chanda zara bata de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
hai bhool koi dil ki
aankhon ki ya khata hai
kuchh bhi nahi to
mujhse phir kyun koi khafa hai
hai bhool koi dil ki
aankhon ki ya khata hai
kuchh bhi nahi to
mujhse phir kyun koi khafa hai
phir kyun koi khafa hai
manzoor hai wo mujhko
jo kuchh bhi tu saza de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
o raat ke musafir
chanda zara bata de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
dil pe kisi ko apne
kaboo nahi raha hai
ye raaz mere dil se
aankhon ne hi kaha hai
dil pe kisi ko apne
kaboo nahi raha hai
ye raaz mere dil se
aankhon ne hi kaha hai
aankhon ne hi kaha hai
aankhon ne jo hai dekha
dil kis tarah bhula de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
o chaand aasmaan ke
dum bhar zameen pe aaja
bhula hua hai raahi
tu raasta dikha ja
tu raasta dikha ja
bhatki hui hai naiya
sahil ise dikha de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de
o raat ke musafir
chanda zara bata de
mera kusoor kya hai
tu faisla suna de..
