The poems of the book is divided into three parts; ''Antah Salila'', ''Chakrant Shila'' and ''Asadhya Vina'' (''The Unmastered Lute''). ''Antah Salila'' contains 18 poems. ''Chakrant Shila'' has 27 poems, majorly written with neo-mystical theme. The last part, ''Asadhya Vina'', contains a long poem by the same title.<ref name="Datta1987"/>

Agyeya heavily used ''[[Tadbhava]]'' words (words adopted from [[Sanskrit]]), avoiding ''[[Tatsama]]'' words (words borrowed from Sanskrit with modified phonology). ''Angan Ke Par Dwar'' played decisive role in bringing to the light the creative possibilities of the ''Tadbhava'' vocabulary.<ref name="Datta1987"/>
