The song has been composed and sung by Shafi Mohammad Faqir, a deeply refined Sufi singer from Umarkot in Sindh, Pakistan. Shafi sahab sings in a style that is highly classical yet distinctly folk, bringing home the voices of Kabir and several Sufi poets in Sindhi, Punjabi, Urdu, Siraiki and other languages. He belongs to the deeply musical Manghaniar community that inhabits both sides of the border between India and Pakistan.

Three years later, we invited Shafi sahab to the Festival of Kabir in Bangalore, organized by the Kabir Project, Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology along with several other partner organizations in Bangalore in February 2009. It brought together singers from India and Pakistan in an immersive week-long event that included film screenings, live music concerts and talks.
