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.)
This poem features in a song for the film Balmaa (1993) that was made one year later. Coincidentally, Lawrence D'Souza is the director for both Dil Ka Kya kasoor (1992) and Balmaa (1993).
