Sony BMG India released a compilation called "Teri Deewani" with the track "Kehnde Ne Naina" in August, 2007.

Devika's second solo album, "Saari Raat", was released on 17 November 2009. Sony Music India licensed "Barkha Bahaar" and "Kehnde Ne Naina" for their compilations titled "Sufiaana : The Complete Sufi Experience" and "Judaiyan" in 2010, and for "Javeda Sufiaana" in 2011.
