Poet Nida Fazli had accused Sameer of plagiarising a line from the poem he had published in his book "Mor Naach" (1978) - "Bada maza aaya ladai mein ke toot gayi choori kalai mein" - for the song "Saajan Tumse Pyar Ki Ladai Mein" ("Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya", 2005). Sameer denied the charge stating that he had reused his own lyrics for this song with changes.[1][2][3]
