Serene, calm, very soothing, like the shift of raga scale to Puriya (dhanashri?) towards the end. -Ashwini

Lovely words weaved once again in a minimalistic arrangement. Superb singing by Pooja Tiwari. The Sarangi accompaniment almost represents an earthy anchor from which the rest of the airy compostion is trying to break free - lovely symbolism musically given the words of the song. -Sunil

Appreciate this Des simple melody after being inundated by the forgettable typical techno bollywood fare. -Armeen

Devotional (spiritial whatever you want to call it) ARR always hits. -Zico

Liked the low key orchestration by ARR. The singing is ok, seems auto-tuned. -Ketan

I had covid recently, and I was lying in bed, in pain, listening to this song over and over, in tears at the peace it was offering a person in pain. I am biased to this track, of the clarity of vision, of the ambition to compose something totally new from the Tamizh album just coz you have Gulzar saheb to give you haunting lyrics, of the humility the melody brings to your guts, and the stripped bare arrangement that stuns you. This is prayer, a tribute. -Shasank

All good. But not close to its prototypes 'dheemi-dheemi' or 'ishwar alaav' (1947: Earth). -Guri

Enchanting! Most played song of PS2 in Hindi language for me. 'Sur se hi aayi thi, sur mein ho jaane do'. -Akanksha

A R Rahman reuses the structure of a song from kandukondien kandukondein here. -Pradeep
