"तन ये भोग का आदी, मन ये कीट-पतंगा, झूठ के दीवे नाचे, झूठा बने मलंगा, मुक्ति जो ये चाहे, तो मारे मोह अड़ंगा" वरुण की इन पंक्तियों में कबीर की बोली सुनायी देती है। कबीर, जिन्होंने लिखा, 'साधौ घर है प्रेम का, खाला का घर नाहिं, सीस उतारे भुई धरे, तो पैठे घर माहिं'। कबीर, जिन्होंने इस तन को 'विष की बेलरी' लिखा। ये हर नास्तिक का भक्तिगीत है। -मिहिर

A beautiful soulful prayer with the element of mystique. -Pavan

Ronkini Gupta is a star. She rose above the clutter last year with the lovely Raffu and she does it again with this song. Varun Grover's brilliants lyrics are just as good as her singing. While the lovely tune might lull you into thinking that this song is a bhajan, its lyrics are a lot more complex/philosophical than the average bhajan's - Grover's lyrics talk about a faith challenged by doubt. -Param

Ronkini Gupta is a find. Would like to see her doing more variety of songs. -Sankhayan

The singing is very good but the music fails to impress. -Megha

Predictable notes but the words hold your attention. -Meera

Singing is gorgeous - again, composition is not quite brilliant, parts of the antara sound.a little forced (tune, not singing); Bit of "Moh-Moh Ke Dhaage" hangover, slipping that komal dhaivat in partway.. -Sanjeev

I like the texture of Ronkini's voice which explains the rating for singing. The song, however, is quite avoidable. -Pranav

Just a notch below the "chaav laaga" from the same film. Exquisitie song and some great lyrics by Varun Grover: "Jhootha bane malanga, mukti jo yeh chaahe, to maare moh adanga". -Arun

Flute provides the flight. -Nishant

Tune is ordinary. Lyrics elevate the song. -Hemendra

Ronkini has a refreshingly very different tonal quality. Her voice brought back memories of Chayya ganguli in 'Thodasa Roomani Ho Jaayen'. -Sunil

Lovely tune and understated singing. Refreshing to see Anu Malik get back to basics. -Ketan
