Sincere thanks, Sri, for sharing those strong 'Ghazal' resemblances.
PA Ji and Sri,
Continuing on this identical pair brought out by PA, when I d/led from here and listened to the Kaise Kahoon song(Rafi & Asha) first, I found that I knew it quite well. But, subsequently, when I d/led and listened to the Dr.Vidya song (Rafi & Lata), I could not recall having heard it at all earlier. So, it is possible that the earlier Dr. Vidya (1962) song somehow did not become very popular or become 'a hit'. So, it could be that SDB had thought that this tune, very nice one that it is, deserves one more attempt at popularisation! And he repeated it in 1964 (two years later) in Kaise Kahoon!
One more thing. See the similarity of this S.D.Burman pair with the other Iqbal Quereshi pair! In both pairs, the earlier song belongs to 1962 and the later one belongs to 1964. And in both pairs, the earlier song is by Rafi-Lata and the later one by Rafi-Asha. What is more, in both pairs the later song is more popular than the earlier song!
Come to think of it, even in the N.Datta pair, the later song (Tu Hind Bane Ya) is more popular than the earlier song(Kya Kya Na Sitam).

Venkatji there are many such incidents where the MDs have used their earlier tunes and
the later ones were much more popular than the earlier songs.
For example Roshan used the tune of the song...mera dil kahaan hai..asha..chandni chowk
again in rahein na rahein hum...mamta...lata.
madan mohan used....aankhon aankhon main ho gaye mast ishaare...khajanchi..asha
again in....nainon waali ne hai mera dil luta...lata...mera saya.
SDB used same tunes with slight variations in many songs
1. saari khushiaan saath aayin aap jab aaye...shamshad in jeevan jyoti (53)
reused in tum re sang to rain bitaayi...sagina...kishor and lata
2. tasveerein banati hain....asha in jeevan jyoti
re-used in dil pukare aa re aa re...jewel thief
Sri Bhai
paish karoon.....
remember the mushaaira in the movie gazal.....
khatte angoor ke baagaat kise paish karoon
apni mummy se jaake poochh apna haath kisey paish karoon
