It was first titled 'Kashif', after its lyricist, whom Rahman calls a spiritual person. {cite:wikipedia-jodhaa-akbar-soundtrack-en} Rahman said Gowariker used it in a sequence showing Akbar triumphant, married to a Rajput princess and newly allied, yet seeing a spiritual light as he watches the singers and dancers in a Sufi dance. {cite:wikipedia-jodhaa-akbar-soundtrack-en}"
