As per HFGK the songs listings for this film is given as below;
| S N | Song | Singer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hamse poocho ke haqeeqat kya hai , tum jise apni mohabbat de do | |
| 2 | Ek mahal ho sapnon ka | Rafi, Lata |
| 3 | Zindagi guzaarne ko saathi ek chaahiye | Mohd Rafi |
| 4 | Dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka jalta hua diya | Lata Mangeshkar |
| 5 | Dekha hai zindagi ko kuchh itna qareeb se | Kishore Kumar |
(In HFGK the footnote mentions the names of Lata, Kishore, Rafi, and Kanchan as playback voices.)
Out of curiosity I watched the title and a part of this film to gather information for this post. Surprisingly the films’ titles do not mention the name of the Singers. Also it does not mention about the ‘male version’ of the song ‘dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka …’
However, Atul ji while posting the song at (sr no 1) above has rightly mentioned the singer’s names as Kishore Kumar and Kanchan.
When I had initially sent the lyrics for this song last year I had also added the clip of the song (poetry recited by Lata) ‘Gulon ka rang ho tum’ which I find in the list of filmography of Sahir Ludhianvi as mentioned in the book ‘Sahir Ludhianvi- The People’s Poet’ (by Akshay Manwani).
For this film the above book mentions the following songs of Sahir Ludhianvi;
| S N | Song | Singer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dekha hai zindagi ko | Kishore Kumar |
| 2 | Dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka jalta huaa diya (female) | Lata Mangeshkar |
| 3 | Dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka jalta huaa diya (male) | Kishore Kumar |
| 4 | Ek mahal ho sapnon ka | Mohd Rafi & Lata Mangeshkar |
| 5 | Gulon ka rang ho tum | Lata Mangeshkar |
| 6 | Hamse poochho ke haqeeqat kya hai(snippet) | Kishore Kumar |
| 7 | Paisa-Dushman mohabbat ka paisa | Kishore Kumar |
| 8 | Zindagi guzaarne ko saathi ek chaahiye | Mohd Rafi |
Now after watching a part of this film I find that the earlier clipping of this song is incomplete, so I had requested my friend Ashish Tilak to arrange to upload the complete song which has now been uploaded.
Today is the birth anniversary of Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore. On this occasion, here is this song from ‘Ek Mahal Ho Sapnon Ka-1975’. It is sung by Lata and it is lip synced by Sharmila Tagore.

Lyrics
Gulon ka rang ho tum
Saaz ki sadaa ho tum um
Gulon ka rang ho tum
Saaz ki sadaa ho tum um
Main kya bataaun ke
Hunh
Meri nazar mein kya ho tum
Gulon ka rang ho tum
Hunh
(Dialogues)
Aankhon se teri chhanke
Baraste hain ujaale ae
Aankhon se teri chhanke
Baraste hain ujaale ae
Jaise ke jharokhon se
Sahar jhaank rahi ho o

Devnagri Script Lyrics:
——————————
गुलों का रंग हो तुम
साज़ की सदा हो तुम
गुलों का रंग हो तुम
साज़ की सदा हो तुम
मैं क्या बताऊँ के
हुंह हुं
मेरी नज़र में क्या हो तुम
गुलों का रंग हो तुम
हुंह हुं
(संवाद)
आँखों से तेरी छनके
बरसते हैं उजाले ए
आँखों से तेरी छनके
बरसते हैं उजाले ए
जैसे के झरोखों से
सहर झाँक रही हो ओ
