The lyrics of this song were inspired by Amir Khusro's ode to Moinuddin Chishti "Kirpa Karo Maharaj".
The film had another version of this song with slightly different lyrics. This version, sung by Nakash Aziz, was recorded after the film's music was released. Yet another version was recorded in the voice of A.R. Rahman, Murtaza Khan, and Qadir Khan but not used.
