Poet Nida Fazli accused Sameer of plagiarising a line in this song from a poem he had published in his book, "Mor Naach" (1978) - "Bada maza aaya ladai mein ke toot gayi choodi kalai mein". Sameer denied the charge stating that he had reused his own lyrics for the song "Saiyan Ke Saath Madhaiya Mein" ("Eena Meena Deeka", 1994) with changes. According to lyricist Sudhakar Sharma's comment on his YouTube channel, the lyrics of the song were actually his and another version of this song had originally been recorded for the film "Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge" (2000) but was discarded. The original song was recorded in the voices of Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. There were minor differences in the arrangement and the lyrics of the two versions.[1][2][3]
