This song seems to be an adaptation of the Tanzanian song "Malaika". "Malaika" has been recorded by many African artists, the most prominent being Miriam Makeba and Fadhili William. The tune of this song had been used by Bappi Lahiri earlier for Runa Laila's "Pukaro" from the non-film album "Superuna" (1983).[1][2]
