The lyrics are sad and poignant, as well as philosophical. Our near and dear ones have to leave us one day,sooner or later. This is inevitable and we better get reconciled to it.Holding on to them forever is just not feasible. The only thing one can do is to hold on to their memories.

Lyrics :-
Lata Mangeshkar version :-

rahen naa rahen ham,
mehakaa karenge
ban ke kali,
ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham

mausam koyi ho is chaman mein
rang banke rahenge hum khiraama
chaahat ki khushboo,
yoon hi zulfon
se udegi,
khizaa ho yaa bahaaren
yoonhi jhoomte,
yoonhi jhoomte aur
khilte rahenge,
ban ke kali
ban ke sabaa
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham,
mehkaa karenge
ban ke kali,
ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein

jab ham na honge jab hamaari
khaaq pe tum rukoge chalte chalte
ashqon se bheegi chaandni mein
ik sadaa si sunoge chalte chalte
waheen pe kahin,
waheen pe kahin ham
tumse milenge,
ban ke kali
ban ke sabaa
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham,
mehkaa karenge
ban ke kali,
ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham

Mohammad Rafi,Suman Kalyanpur version :-

rahen naa rahen ham,
mehkaa karenge
ban ke kali,
ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham

ye khoob-soorat ye nazaare
ye bahaaren hamaare dam qadam se
zinda huyi hai phir jahaan mein
aaj ishq wafaa ki rasm hamse se
yoon hi is chaman
yoon hi is chaman
ki zeenat rahenge
ban ke kali, ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham,
mehkaa karenge
ban ke kali,
ban ke sabaa,
baage wafaa mein
rahen naa rahen ham..

The film was a remake of Asit Sen's own Bengali film, Uttar Falguni (1963),also starring Suchitra Sen.

Storyline..
Monish Rai (Ashok Kumar) comes from a wealthy family, and is in love with Deviyani (Suchitra Sen), who is poor. Monish has to travel abroad to further his education in law, but promises to stay in touch with Deviyani. After his departure, financial problems overwhelm Deviyani and her father. She approaches Monish's mother for financial assistance, but is refused. In desperation, Deviyani's father marries her off to a much older man, Rakhal Bhattacharya, who has loaned money to Deviyani's father. Rakhal is also an alcoholic and frequents prostitutes.
Deviyani becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl, Suparna. Unhappy with her marriage and her circumstances, she runs away, and becomes a devadasi, or temple dancer, performing for a male clientele. She is however found by Rakhal, who blackmails her for money, and who attempts to kidnap Suparna on more than one occasion. Deviyani approaches Mother Mary, the Mother Superior of a convent and leaves Suparna in her care. Deviyani subsequently disappears. When Monish returns to the city, he thinks he has seen Deviyani, but is told by others that the person he has seen is a Lucknow-based prostitute, Pannabai.
Is Deviyani still alive? Who is Pannabai? What happened to Suparna?
The movie relates the story of Deviyani's life and revolves around the theme of "mamta" - motherhood, or a mother's love, what a mother does for the protection and well-being of her child, and all the sacrifices made by her in order that her child can live a life filled with status, dignity and love .
Veteran actress (Suchitra Sen) portrays the double role both of Deviyani and Suparna..
