"Kuttay" is part of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's first book, "Naqsh-e-Faryadi," published in 1941.

In his book "Poems by Faiz," British Marxist historian Victor Gordon Kiernan writes, “The opening couplet parodies that of a poem of Iqbal, The Prayer of Tariq–the Muslim conqueror of Spain. Iqbal’s warriors of the faith are endowed with zeal for religion (zauq-e-khudai), Faiz’s mongrels with zeal for cadging (zauq-e-gadai).”

The song includes two verses from Allama Iqbal's "Tariq ki Dua" from his 1935 book "Bal-e-Jibril," highlighting the contrast between the two celebrated works.
