This largely instrumental track is off the band's debut record, and remains a favourite with the fans. The tune features a pun on the number 7, (Sampooran the term itself means belonging to a family of 7), utilizing a 7/8 and then 7/4 groove before dropping a beat to feature another section and then dropping two more beats to come to a more regular sounding 4/4 section which comprises the main body of the tune.
Vocally, a classical composition based on Raag Aiman, features a bandish attributed to the legendary Hazrat Amir Khusro (1253-1325), the father of qawwali. Each instrumentalist also features as a soloist during the course of the tune, with the live version featuring a delicate and beautifully phrased bass solo by Sheldon D'Silva.
