The song's devotional content, dedicated to Lord Krishna, has made it a favorite among Hindu devotees, who often include it in their devotional gatherings as a bhajan. The song continues to be a popular choice for performances at both Bhajan and Qawwali concerts. Some sources claim it written by 16th century Bhakti poet Mirabai.[2]
It was later re-written as a song and was performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan during his first visit to India in 1979 at the wedding of Rishi Kapoor.[1][3] The song is frequently sung at Hindu devotional gatherings.
