"'''Sanson Ki Mala Pe'''" ({{lang-hi|साँसों की माला पे}}; "on the rosary of breaths") is a [[qawwali]] song based on the [[ghazal]] named "sāñsoñ kī maalā par simroñ nisdin pī kā naam",<ref>{{cite web |title=तुफ़ैल हुश्यारपुरी - कलाम |url=https://sufinama.org/kalaam/tufail-hoshiarpuri-kalaam-1?sort=popularity-desc&lang=hi |website=Sufinama |language=hi}}</ref> which was penned by Meera Bai for her lover God Lord Krishna. Song was composed by the legendary Pakistani singer-songwriter [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]] and is inspired by popular devotional themes of Mirabai poetry related to Lord Krishna. It was first played by Khan during his first visit to India in 1979, when Indian actor and filmmaker [[Raj Kapoor]] invited him at the wedding of his son [[Rishi Kapoor]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=न्यूज़ |first1=एबीपी |title=4 दशक पहले ऋषि कपूर और नीतू कपूर की शादी में नुसरत अली खान ने किया था परफॉर्म, इस गाने से बांधा था समां |url=https://www.abplive.com/entertainment/bollywood/nusrat-ali-khan-performed-40-years-ago-at-the-wedding-of-rishi-kapoor-and-neetu-kapoor-1605300 |website=www.abplive.com |language=hi |date=18 October 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Quint |first1=The |title=Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan had Performed for Rishi and Neetu’s Sangeet |url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/nusrat-fateh-ali-khan-had-performed-for-rishi-and-neetus-sangeet |website=TheQuint |publisher=The Quint |language=en |date=23 November 2015}}</ref> <br />
