Lyrical sources"Beni beni" is based on an 18th-century Turkish Sufi folk song. "Ishq" and "Tamana" are based on ghazal by Khwaja Mir Dard. The words to "Iman" are drawn from two ruba'iyat by different authors: Mirza Salamat Ali Dabir and Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali. "Molk-e-Divan" is based on the ghazal Khiz tâ bâde dar pyâle konim by Sufi poet Khâju-ye Kermâni (خواجوی کرمانی) with a few alterations , and "Sadrang" draws the lyrics from works by Amir Khusrow (امیر خسرو دهلوی), a 13th-century mystic and poet who, like Niyaz's vocalist Azam Ali, was a Persian raised in India. In other mediaThe songs of "Nine Heavens" were played in several episodes of HBO's television series True Blood. The song "Beni, Beni" was played in episode 7 of ABC's television series Missing (2012).[6] References1. ^[{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r1390522|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic review] 2. ^{{cite web | title = New Niyaz album, to be released 24th of June| date = 2008-05-23 | url = http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=18133}} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Niyaz's New Album Nine Heavens A Double Disc Set| date = 2008-05-25 | url = http://www.globalrhythm.net/print.cfm?rubricarticleid=4698}} 4. ^{{cite web | title = The upcoming Niyaz album| date = 2008-05-25 | url = http://www.sixdegreesrecords.com/artists.php?artist=Niyaz}} 5. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.billboard.com/charts/2008-07-19/world-albums | title = Nine Heavens chart listing at Billboard Top World Albums | accessdate = 7/12/08}} 6. ^Missing - Music Lounge - ABC.com External links
