This song was an adaptation of the popular ghazal "Rafta Rafta Woh Meri" composed by music director Nashad for the Pakistani film "Zeenat" (1975). Interestingly, Tasneem Fazli's lyrics for "Rafta Rafta" were adapted from a song written by Qamar Jalalabadi for the Hindi film "Hum Kahan Ja Rahe Hain" (1966). Basant Prakash's music for the original, however, was different from Nashad's.[1][2][3]
