This classical raga Sohini is a night melody and it is also very popular for the semi-classical compositions like Thumries etc.In this song music director Ravi has taken the raga in Drut laya(fast tempo) from the beginning.Asha Bhosle has sung it very well.The lyrics written by Shakeel Badayuni are:
                                          " Jeewan joat jale,jeewan joat jale,
                                Kou na jaane kab nikase din,
                                Aur kab raat dhale,
                                Jeewan joat jale....
                                Bhor bhaye to man muskaaye
                                Sanjh bhaye to neer bahaye.
                                Ek  pal mauj kare sansari,
                                Ek pal haath maley.
                                Jeewan joat jale...."
