Neelesh Misra's words were in complete sync with the film's themes, and were enhanced by M.M. Keeravani.
A ballad that remains as popular today as it was when it dropped, the song was composed by Pritam, one of his earlier collaborations with Misra.
A plot-driven mujra that harked back to the times when they were still popular, Misra's old-school lyrics went hand-in-hand with Pritam's more contemporaneous use of instruments.

Javed Akhtar described writing gibberish as being the toughest kind of lyric writing, and this track from Anurag Basu's musical adventure is proof of that, while still essentially serving as a montage of the protagonists' relationship.
