At the end of the movie ''Dil Ka Kya Kasoor'', Seema, the young daughter of Arun and Meena, writes a poem that goes: "Agar zindagi ho tere sang ho, Agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pahle..." (Translation: If I have to live my life I will live it only with you, If I have to die I will die before you.)<br />
<br />
This poem features in a song for the film ''Balmaa'' (1992) that was made one year later. Coincidentally, Lawrence D'Souza is the director for both ''Dil Ka Kya Kasoor'' (1992) and ''Balmaa'' (1992).<br />
