Vasant Desai used a Raag Mian Ki Malhar composition by Sadarang in this song. Sadarang was the stage name of a musician called Niyamat Khan, who served in the court of the Mughal emperor, Mohammed Shah Rangila.
Vasant Desai may have based the antara of this song on the tune of the second antara of another song he had composed a few years ago -"Jhir Jhir Barse Sawani Ankhiyan" ("Aashirwad", 1968).[1][MR10]
This song had Vasant Achrekar on the tabla, Jairam Acharya on the sitar and Zarine Daruwala on the sarod.
