This composition actually came in my mind as a spiritual music (however I am music-handicapped)....the words Maasoom and Yaa Ali were central in this music, later on I put down rest of the appropriate words searching through an Urdu glossary for the words I wanted (please dont be under the impression that I know Urdu very well...though I do have some knowledge to find out the words I want)
