Interestingly, the same body-coffin analogy was used by Kaifi's
character in "kaifi aur main".
As an aside one thing that striked me was that some of kaifi's
contemporaries like Majrooh, Sardar Jafri, etc from PWA were mentioned
many times; however there was no mention of Sahir. AFAIK, Sahir was
also a part of the PWA and he remains a very well known name, which is
why I am little surprised that his name wasn't mentioned.

This was the last film (Paaysa - 1957) in which S.D. Burmanda ji (Sr. Burman) and Sahir Ludhianvi ji worked together. Their estrangement was a result of Sahir's claim that the film's success was more due to his lyrics than due to Burman's music. Sahir
had a similar argument with Jaidev during the making of " Mujhe Jeene Do " (1963) and stopped working with him as well.
