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 media

The 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]
