Asha Bhosle, Mohammad Rafi, Shamshad Begum, Rajkumari and Jagjit Kaur were the playback singers. Rajkumari first sang for a Punjabi Kurhmai in 1941, but in the film Posti her songs became real hits.[1] Popular Songs of the film include do guttan kar merian by Asha Bhosle, kajjle di paanian dhaar by Rajkumari and a duet ja bhaira posti by Mohd.
