Vishal Bhardwaj composed this song using dummy lyrics he wrote for its mukhda - "Jab talak ranhenge gham tab tak piyenge hum / To gham ke neeche bam laga ke gham uda de / Maar goli dard ke dam uda de, mama Kallu mama". The film's crew members loved these quirky lyrics. However, when they approached Gulzar to write the song's lyrics, he thought the dummy lyrics were gimmicky. He then went on to write three different versions of the song's lyrics but was turned down by filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma each time. Varma then asked Vishal Bhardwaj to record the song using his lyrics but the composer refused to do so without informing Gulzar. The director then decided to shoot the film without the song. On the day he was filming the scene that was supposed to feature this song, his crew asked Varma to consider recording the song with Gulzar's lyrics since they had some extra time available. Varma relented and finally decided to include it in the film. A year after the film's release, Varma went to Vishal Bhardwaj's house late in the night to talk about how wrong they had been about this song![1]
