Guru is the soundtrack to the 2007 film directed by Mani Ratnam. The soundtrack was released on 18 November 2006. The film's music is composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics provided by Gulzar.

Overview

Like many of Rahman's soundtracks, Guru comes with a variety of songs. The songs vary in their musical style, from the Turkish inspired "Mayya Mayya" to the folk-ish "Ek Lo Ek Muft", the love ballad Tere Bina and rain-themed song, "Barso Re".

The song Tere Bina is dedicated to the memory of Pakistani qawwali singer Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan since it was the 10th anniversary of his death.{{cite web | title=Rahman on how the music of Guru was born| work=The Telegraph | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1061222/asp/etc/story_7144101.asp| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224121035/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1061222/asp/etc/story_7144101.asp| url-status=dead| archive-date=24 February 2007| access-date=18 February 2007}} Gulzar also adapted the lyrics of "Ay Hairathe" from the lyrics of Amir Khushroo's "Ay Sarbathe Aashiqui". Rahman personally trained Egyptian singer Maryem Tollar to sing "Mayya Mayya", a song which Rahman wrote while on Hajj in Makkah. After he heard a man near a river who was continually repeating "maya maya maya" (water in Arabic), he told Gulzar to incorporate the word into the tune he had created while touring in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The soundtrack has proved a success, staying at the number one spot thirteen weeks after its release, despite receiving stiff competition from other albums released.{{cite web| title=Top Ten albums for the week| work=IndiaFM| url=http://www.indiafm.com/features/2007/02/16/2259/index.html| access-date=18 February 2007| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070218073037/http://www.indiafm.com/features/2007/02/16/2259/index.html| archive-date=18 February 2007}}

The song "Shauk Hai" has been used in the film, but was not released on the audio CD.

The soundtrack release of Guru also incorporated bonus tracks from Rahman's other albums Rang De Basanti, Lagaan, Kisna, Zubeidaa and Meenaxi.
