A singer with roots in East Pakistan (modern Bangladesh), making it big in (West) Pakistan.. And here I am, an Indian and a Bengali, sitting in my room and enjoying the best of both worlds (and languages). Long live South Asian culture!!! :)
Yes this is a bengali song ... the sweetest language in the world ... doesn't matter whether it is sung in India or Pakistan , it will remain the sweetest language...
Alamgir is a great example of human struggle and superb talent when he came to Karachi, Pakistan, empty handed, no money, nowhere to sleep and used to sing in a restaurent on Tariq road for the only meal of the day he gets there in return. Our Bangali friends and everybody else should know this as he himself narrated this on several occasions. With his tenacity and talent he became the biggest popular music singer and musician in Pakistan. He sang several popular Pakistani folks and memorable Pakistani national songs beside creating his own brand of music from where the popular music evolves now to current Coke studio Pakistan. And he never forgot his Bangali roots and hence brought respect to Bangali culture in Pakistan and everywhere he went. Simply put he is adored in Pakistan.
I'm feeling so emotional although it's 2023. What a creation it was. Lot of love and respect to Pakistani people. You know what we Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian people must be prideful for our unique & lovely culture. I'm from Bangladesh & loved this song very much. 🇧🇩🇵🇰🇮🇳🤍
The other language other than Bengali is not Urdu.. it’s vanarasi Hindi.. perhaps the purest form of Hindi. Whatever it is, the song is executed with all the heart and devotion..❤️IndPakBanAfg rocks
Love and respect from Pakistan. We love bangladesh.we see bangladesh just like a brother who separates his land from another brother and make his own home.still their brotherhood remains the same but only their homes separates. Lot of love to Bangladesh. #Jay Bangla
I am from Kolkata West Bengal India 🇮🇳...and the only thing I love about Pakistan is coke studio Pakistan 🇵🇰 😚 and what to say about Bangladesh 🇧🇩 it's my second home 🏠 long live south 🌏 Aisa 🇧🇩🇮🇳🇵🇰😚💕😌

Anindita Bhattacharyya r jai hok.........bangla ta mam onk ......spiceeeeeeee language..........er modhye onk ki6u a6e .......sudhu misto ta noy........
Na but Urdu is also very very nice and decent language... er o onek spice aache... Just like Urdu of Lucknow and Urdu of Hyderabad both are different (accentwise). Both contains their own spice and flavor... Aami bangali, bengali amar priyo bhasha... But I Cannot ignore the sweetness and richness of Urdu as well..
A Bengali song has recorded in Coke Studio Pakistan and how beautifully they made this . What can be more proudful moment of being a Bengali. Love from West Bengal❤❤
We Bangladeshis are familiar with Alamgir. He aced this song. However, this is the first time I listened to Fariha Pervez. What a beautiful and soulful voice! Outstanding.
I am a srilankan, although I couldn't understand this song. I listen to this song frequently. it takes me to a different mind set.. salute the composer and singer....
I'm a Bengali from India, and I so love this piece of passion. I had played this piece, for how many times since yesterday, I don't know.....We all have descended from the same pluralistic nation, and now due to actions of a few, we are now separated into three nations, but still things like these still unites us, beyond all hatred, mistrust, frowns of government, extremists..... Love all of those associated with this creation
This song speaks volumes divided by borders/fences/barbed wires etc...but can the soul's music be ever captured by any confined paradigm....Bangla-Urdu-Hindustani....coming together in one platform...So, I respect this feat.of us Humans...which is a Master piece...Respect to creativity!!!...to ALL NATIONS OF OUR SUB CONTINENT..INDIA PAKISTAN BANGLADESH!!! ...from a Music Lover from Calcutta/Kolkata India.. Music understands no borders no boundaries because it is DIVINE SENT...to.... Humans on Earth
music has no country, this made me cry, I am a bangali from india, was searching for this song, this caught my eye, and well loved it.. :) the fusion is something made in heavens , a lot of love to all the musicians and the director :)
I also don't have any idea about the lyrics but listening to such music composition makes my heart lost somewhere in my past , this kind of music revives my small bit of happy moment spent with my friends long ago... And Coke studio India as well as pakistan are great also I feel CS PAKISTAN is stronger than CS INDIA
pakistan coke studio is doing wonderful job of showcasing the diversity of the indian sub continent. india -pak-bangladesh share the single fragrance of soil
This song has been central to the heart of the people of Bangladesh. I appreciate the endeavour of Coke studio. Coke studio has taken the song to new heights.
Everybody wants to hit the keyboard without giving another thought. It was amazingly sung by one of the pioneers of Pakistan's pop industry - this is not about bringing nationality but complimenting his achievements. Whenever, I hit coke studio on RU-vid, I want to listen to this Bangali beautiful number - it is mesmerizing and soothing. Fed of this India v Pakistan v Bangladesh childish arguments. He is the 'Elvis of the East', he is Alamgir (means Conqueror of World) - Enough Said!
I am an Bengali Indian enjoying such a nostalgic song of our culture sung by Singers from Bangladesh prepared in Pakistan.... both the singers just rocked!!!!!! wt can be more beautiful than thissss..... love u #cokestudio
Actually that guy is a Pakistani, although he may be ethnically Bengali but he chose Pakistani during the war. So I don’t understand why everyone is calling him a Bangladeshi when he clearly didn’t choose my country.
Absolutely beautiful....a favorite bhatiali, and a favorite Pahadi thumri...woven together by a symphony orchestra....marvelous singing by Alamgir and Fariha
Alamgir vai ex cadet of Mirzapur Cadet College.I love his songs....I also performed his songs in our prog...i am a Folk songs lover.Alamgir vai stay blessed...May Allah bless you vai.
What a wonderful rendition! Retains some of the rustic appeal of the song, but in amalgamating it with Western classical instruments, including the harp, and Hindi gazal, makes this version very, very rich. Such a treat to listen to music like this. Both the female and male singers are very good. I use 'male' and 'female' because i am not that familiar with their names, so don't want to make mistakes. Many gazals set to mishra Yaman and Pilu raags--so very melodious and beautiful. I am referring to Farida Khanum's rendition of 'Ab jaane ka zid mat karo'. Also this particular gazal reminded me of Begum Akhtar's, 'Piya bholo abhimaan'. Bringing gazal and lokgeeti together was such a brilliant idea. A sense of cosmic longing for togetherness and need for release, fuses both songs.The original contexts for the songs are so different--Bangla bhatiyali and Muslim boudoir/court culture--natural versus sophisticated. But with the world having become so global that bhatiyali, gazal and Western musical instruments (traditionally, that is) come together with such great appeal. I just loved this song. The synchronizing between all the musicians was just so good:):)
bengali & urdu two swetest languages, outstanding. even the European(probably) musicians are awesome. A truly global presentation. music & culture knows no border. love to all brotherhood of humanity (from pakistan, bangladesh, india, or wherever in world) of world.
From Kolkata,both r fav. I respect all that people who comment here and I don't care who r Bangladeshi or Pakistani cz we r brother from same mother. And our mother is our motherland.. Lv u all.
As a Bangladeshi I feel very honored that You folks singing on our language. If you had this mentality in war, we never would have dissected. As a Bangladeshi+ Muslim, I wish prosperity to all Pakistanis. But , the bitterness you seed inside our old generation, as a belonging of new generation I forgive. This is the way of prosperity. Lets unite all (India+ Pakistan+ Bangladesh) and show the world we can bring good energy to world. tired of biting and hating each other. :( EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR WAY. AMIN
This song proves that love has no language or barrier. Thanks to Coke studio Pakistan for recreating the song with the Bengali version. Love from a proud citizen of Bangladesh ❤
I remember back in the 80 ' s When Alamgir went to Dhaka from Pakistan his full album of Bengali Urdu Music 🎶 was broadcast on BTV. BY THE WAY ALAMGIR father's family still lives in Lake Circus Kolagaban, Dhaka
Alomgir sir studied from Mirzapur Cadet College, Tangail, Bangladesh. I am also from Mirzapur, Tangail, Bangladesh. Feeling so proud he is Bangladeshi blood. Lot of respect from Mirzapur, Tangail, Bangladesh.
Alamgir Sir, Fariha Madam and the splendid concert make me wandering in the Heaven as soon as I start listening. I do not know how to express my gratitude for giving the opportunities of listening this masterpiece. Respect and love🙏🙏🙏
