Soundtrack

Ghulam Mohammed composed the music for Dil-E-Nadaan and gave a "standout score" for the film. Bharatan states that Dil-E-Nadan marked a downward trend for him as far as the box-office success was concerned.[6]

Ghulam Mohammed's compositions were well appreciated by the public. One of the notable songs from the film was Talat Mehmood's expressive "Zindagi Dene Wale Sun", the start of which employs western stringed instruments before the tune blends into Raga Bhoop.[7] The second song was Mehmood's "Mohabbat Ki Dhun Beqararon Se Poochho" with co-singers Sudha Malhotra and Jagjit Kaur.[8] The other popular numbers were Jagjit Kaur's "Khamosh Zindagi Ko Ek Afsana Mil Gaya" and Talat's "Jo Khushi Se Chot Khaye".

The lyricist was Shakeel Badayuni and the singers were Talat Mehmood, Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum and Sudha Malhotra.
