The song "Rang Hai" was inspired from the traditional Sufi qawwali "Aaj Rang Hai" by Hazrat Amir Khusrao.

Trouble arose for the film when the All-India Ulema Council objected to the qawalli "Noor-un-ala-Noor" from the film. The Council objected about the use of the phrase "Noor-un-ala-Noor," which meant "light and more light" - the phrase, normally used in the holy Koran to praise the Prophet Mohammed, was used to illustrate the beauty of women in Hussain's film. In response, Hussain decided to withdraw the film from cinema halls.
