Sanson Ki Mala Pe (literally: On the rosary of breath) is one of the most popular songs written by Meera Bai, who was a great devotee of Lord Krishna. Sanson Ki Mala Pe Simru Main, Pi Ka Naam shows her dedication towards Lord Krishna. The characteristic of her poetry is complete surrender.

In Morden culture sung by legendary vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and was first played by Khan when he first visited India in 1979 when Raj Kapoor invited him at the wedding of Rishi Kapoor. The song remains popular in most Qawwali concerts, Music Reality Shows and devotional gatherings.

This song is also sung with minor modifications such as saanson ki maala pe simrun mai 'Shiv' ka naam. The song was used in the 1997 Hindi film Koyla featuring Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. It was also used in the 1996 Hindi film Jeet featuring Sunny Deol and Karishma Kapoor. This is also used in Trishna (2011 film) featuring Freida Pinto and Riz Ahmed. In 2020, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan paid homage to his uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

“Sanson Ki Mala (is) a qawwali very close to my heart and this time, it has been presented as a fusion track, conceptualised by Salman Ahmed,” Rahat said. “I dedicate the release to my mentor Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and my father Ustad Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan. The video of the song is unique, with its locations and the entire feel mesmerising."[1]
