Question about the Bhajan
The song Ai Malik Tere Bande Hum ties this movie together, and with some searching, I was able to find the words, with English translation. The most complete translation I found was in a Hindu Hymnal for a US-based college Hinduism group.
But I notice the song is not listed in the posting of songs for the movie, so I wonder whether it was not composed for the movie, but might be an older, preexisting song which is just identified in people's minds with this movie.
Also, both the first time it is sung, and at the funeral, it is sung out of a book, suggesting to my mind at least, that it is supposed to be words from some sort of sacred text.
Can anyone enlighten me? What would that text be? How much of this was composed for this movie?
Thanks for your help.
