This thumri, which was popularised by the Patiala gharana (musical style) of classical vocals, is about a young maiden, who has newly fallen in love and is anticipating marital bliss. She sings in a joyful mood, describing her happiness as something which is pouring down like rain. She refers to her youth and then wonders how she got attached to her beloved at such a tender age, saying that ever since their eyes met, she has been unable to fall asleep, remaining wide awake with only the moon for company.
