In the film, the song serves as the central romantic anthem for Raj Aryan (Shah Rukh Khan) and Megha (Aishwarya Rai).

Legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Udit Narayan provided the vocals, adding deep emotional resonance to the track.

Beyond the screen, the song is a landmark in Bollywood music history:

Raj fell in love with Megha, who was Narayan Shankar's daughter. When her father refused to accept their relationship, Megha tragically took her own life.

The soundtrack earned Jatin–Lalit their eighth Filmfare nomination and remains one of the most iconic romantic ballads in Indian cinema.

While the song is a romantic dream sequence, it represents Raj’s internal world where Megha is still alive for him. The lyrics, meaning "Steal me from myself, hide me in your heart," reflect their desire to be inseparable despite the physical distance of death. The Musical Story
