Mr Tandon said this recreation

In the 16^th century, saint-poetess Mirabai wrote a devotional poem, titled Saanson Ki Mala Pe.

And in 1979, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan performed it as a song at the wedding of actors Neetu Singh and the late Rishi Kapoor during his maiden visit to India.

The big-screen adaptations were inevitable.

One of them featured on the soundtrack of the 1997 film Koyla.

And the other – which was a Sachet Tandon solo on the soundtrack of Yaariyan 2 – wasn’t just penned, but also composed by Manan Bhardwaj.

The song was four minutes and 18 seconds long.
