Wiki.

Rustam Sohrab is a 1963 Indian Hindi-language film, produced by F.U. Ramsay and directed by Vishram Bedekar.

The film has Suraiya as the heroine (in the role of Shehzadi Tehmina) and Prithviraj Kapoor (in the role of Rustom Zabuli) as the hero. The story is based on the legendary poem of Rostam and Sohrab by Persian poet Ferdowsi. Prem Nath plays the role of Sohrab, Rustam's son and Mumtaz plays the role of Shahroo, Sohrab's love. The film has music by Sajjad Hussain.

It was the last film of Suraiya, after which she gave up acting and singing altogether. In the film, she sang her swan song "Ye kaisi ajab dastan ho gayi hai", which is regarded as one of her hit film songs.
