When Ali sethi's songs are in your recommendation , so know that you have a great taste in music 🖤🖤

Right then. Right then. ALRIGHT THEN! Mithaas....gudd wali. Ghazals. The form was vanishing and then the form met Ali Sethi. Thank you for this. Please don’t stop what you are doing Ali. What a marvellous instrument choice and what an efficient delivery. The pain subsides, the joy explodes and the heart is at peace. That is the beauty of Ghazals and that is the beauty of Ali Sethi. Firaq Gorakhpuri said - Ghazal ka saaz uthao, badi udaas hai raat. Ali Sethi said - I am on it. History being made. Thank you for making us all a part of this. I declare 2020 the year of Ali Sethi. Love from Bombay, Ali.

Is shor bhari duniya me koi aaj bhi sukoon dene wale music bana rha h ❤️

It's a long post but worth it. Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sunn, na junoon raha na pari rahi Na toh tu raha na toh mein raha, jo rahi so be-khabari rahi On learning the amazing saga of love, neither the frenzy (junoon) was left, nor did the sweetheart (pari) remain. I was ‘me’ no more, you were ‘thee’ no more; only a state of oblivion remained. This she'r reminds me of the lines from Rumi: I always thought that I was me - but no,I was you and never knew it. The consciousness of self is obstructive and it is only the removal of 'knowledge' and 'thought' (Rumi has used the words ‘thought’ and ‘knew’) that leads to the state of self-unconsciousness where the lover and the beloved become one. Shah-e-bekhudi ne ataa kia, mujhay ab libas-e-barahanagi Na khirad ki bakhiyagari rahi, na junoon ki pardadari rahi The gift of the ‘Lord of Ecstasy’ to me was a garb of nakedness. All that the wisdom had stitched was gone; the veil of madness no longer remained. At the spiritual level the couplet can be interpreted like this: My beloved, the shah-e-bekhudi has ripped naked my heart and soul, ridding them of the layers of stitching by the misguided intellect, which is nothing more than a veil of madness. The extreme of love endows the heart with divine purity. Reason and intellect have been viewed as hindrances, and the perceived sanity as madness. Chali simt-e-ghaib se aik hava, ke chaman zahoor ka jal gaya Magar aik shakh-e-nihal-e-gham, jise dil kahe so hari rahi A sweeping wind, which came from beyond the visible world, consumed the visible garden with fire; just one branch on the tree of grief, which they call heart, despite the blaze retained its green. The reference here is to the lost Paradise, and the perennial quest to re-unite with it. The Divine breeze would burn the worldly existence leaving behind the hope for reunion. The worldly existence (chaman) has been likened to a tree of sorrow and suffering, and the Divine breeze as the liberator. Nothing grows on that tree except sadness, caused by the separation from his beloved. Now that entire existence is gone, only the abode of the beloved (heart) has survived. Nazar-e-taghaful-e-yaar ka, gila kis zuban se bayan karoon Ke sharab-e-sad-qadaah aarzu, khum-e-dil mein thi so bhari rahi I am speechless to complain about the indifferent and uncaring glances (nazar-e-taghaful-e-yaar) of my beloved; the wine of desire that filled the heart remained suppressed, concealed. At the temporal level, these lines would simply suggest that there is a heart overflowing with desires which one is unable to express due to the indifferent looks of the beloved. At the metaphysical level it would suggest that the worldly desires are often out of sync with the Divine commandments. Woh ajab ghari thi mein jis ghari, liya dars nuskha-e-ishq ka Ke kitab aql ki taaq main, jyun dhari thi tyun hi dhari rahi It was at a moment strange that I read a book of love; the book of reason, brushed aside, remained shelved and sheathed. Reason (aql-o-khirad), the product of mind is considered a detriment, hindering the spontaneity of heart. A person guided by logic and reason is too calculative to be able to devote to pure love; whereas selfless love is motivated by heart and not mind. For that reason love and brain are just incompatible. Mind is deceitful, untrustworthy, selfish and devious whereas heart is pure, untainted and selfless. As Iqbal said: bekhatar kuud para aatishe-namrood mein ishq/aql thi mehvi-tamasha-e-lab-baam abhi Tere josh-e-hairat-e-husn ka, asar iss qadar so yahan hua Ke na aayine main jila rahi, na pari kuun jalva gari rahi Your bewitching beauty, love, such a spell did cast; the mirror stood bereft of gloss and beauty seemed to freeze. Bewildered by your beauty (Josh-e-hairat-e-husn), I had such a mark on my heart (yahan is a pointer towards the heart) that the heart (aayina , the mirror of heart) has lost all its shine (the basic quality of a mirror) and angel (pari is used as simile to refer profound beauty) had no beauty left to reveal (‘kuun’means ko). Kiya khak aatish-e-ishq ne dil-e-benava-e-Siraj ko Na khatar raha na hazar raha, magar aik be-khatari rahi The fire of love reduced to ashes Siraj’s voiceless heart; fears and cares got consumed, intrepid courage held the field. The fire of love (aatish-e-ishq) has burnt the voiceless heart (dil-e-benava) of Siraj to ashes. The heart is so liberated from fears (be-khatari) that there is no feeling of vulnerability or threat left. (As Iqbal has used the word bekhatar: bekhatar kood para aatish-e-namrood mein ishq).

I'm not gonna tell anyone about this musical gem.this is for me!

This Ghazal is written by Siraj Aurangabadi. Sayyid Sirajuddin, commonly known as Siraj Aurangabadi (1715 - 1763), was an Indian mystic poet who initially wrote in Persian and later started writing in Urdu. He was from Aurangabad, Deccan India.

Such music is made to be eternal. I'm a native Arabic speaker but if there were only one language spoken in paradise, I'll vote for urdu. I hope I'll be able to learn it and enjoy Urdu poetry, I'm sure the meaning is beyond paradisiac in its original form.

This song is like having chai at dusk with beating of unaccomplished heart on a roof, echoing under clear grey sky. Where's your only possession is your failures and the chai's cup which you are holding tightly and sipping through every bit of chai while affirming the fear of last sip. last sip, and then staring at the empty sky blindly, dulling proportional to the sun set, beating your chest so to signal the heart, that you lost every single chance to tell her. Now the sun has set taking all hopes with itself. Leaving you alone in darkness with a completely empty cup and over filled heart !

A grown man, leaving too many comments, but what to do? I cannot find a better way to express my gratitude for this and for so many other gems you have given. Khoob jiyo Ali Khoob tarakki karo...Khoob gao. Love and love and love from India

There is no other singer who is as underrated as Ali Sethi

Personally, after A.R. Rahman, Ali Sethi is the only musician whose songs have a sense completeness to them. You might not understand it at first, you might not even like it, but something will bring you back to it, and soon you will be addicted to them. Just like a drug. And the fact that you are from Pakistan only makes me feel that we are actually the same people, divided only by religion and politics. I will be eternally grateful to you for being you.❣

Being a Urdu poet, i must say these words & lines are so soothing & underrated by the audience at the same time. I wish people will understand the depth & pain of these lines by their heart.

Ali Sethi is beyond perfect but let's take a moment to appreciate the amount of love and passion Noah Georgeson has put in. Each and every instrument speaks for itself. I feel so blessed to co-exist in this era with such amazing artists. Someone once said "Shayari apna sangeet saath lekar aati hai." and I felt that in the line "Chali samt-E-Ghaib se ek hawa." No other composition could be so apt for this particular line. Siraj Aurangabadi deserves a bow! All in all, a faith-restoring eternal song. Congratulations to the team.

This song has a world of its own!

Came here for Ali Sethi but became a fan of Siraj Aurangabadi... Urdu is such a beautiful language and Ali's lyrics choices are too good..

This is the kind of music they play in heaven.

I bought an expensive headphone just to listen Ali Sethi.. This song is brilliant!!

This song feels like a comforting and healing lullaby to a child whose innocence is lost for the first time when for the first time he realises that there are other languages people engage in besides love. Then mother cradles him with reassuring love.

Just wanted to say one thing. Please do not stop making such wonderful music. Many people like me get life-revival potion from such honey-soaked melodies. No matter how much fame you get, the music you are making is something "divine"..And divinity doesn't need sanctions from commoners. It's already and always THE GREATEST. Love from Calcutta ❤️

I am listening to this song as I write. Ali Bhai, I've known this poem for a long time, but your rendering is something else, delicately otherworldly and infinitely melancholy, befitting a poem about a broken-hearted poet who found another kind of love. God bless you, Ali, and may your music find many listeners, in Pakistan, India, and the world. (From Berkeley, California).

I listened to it 91 consecutive times .... unbelievable unbeatable unbreakable record

For all these months of no internet, I always thought of ur channel. Thanks alot for such gems. Love from Kashmir 💚🖤❤

From Chan Kithan to Khabar e Tahayyur Ali has time and again proved that he is in a league of his own.He can outperform in any genre. Lafzo se nahi samjhaya jaa sakta hai aisa kuch asar hain Ali sethi ki aawaz aur sur main.. Prayers And Love From the land of Siraj Aurangabadi - Maharashtra,India❤

What mood is the singer expressing through the song - complain? regret? agony? lament? reminiscence? ecstasy? voidness? or something else? Then I realized that is the state of mind of a LOVER.

I am addicted to this Ghazal since January 2020. کتنی خوبصورت غزل ہے۔ اردو شاعروں کی زبان ہے۔

No matter how many views you will get on this, no matter how many likes you will get, this is one of the composition which gives meaning to the words, words which will be remembered forever & music that will touch every soul conquered in a battle which was meant to be lost.

Listening to this at 2 AM in the night, It feels divine and heavenly. Accidentally stumbled upon it on Spotify and it's been on repeat since then. Teary eyed. Can't express myself. Love & respect from Jammu & Kashmir ❤️

When I grow up, I want to be half as talented as Ali Sethi. I mean I'm pretty grown up as it is but to make something even half as beautiful as this would mean that I've made it in life.

A rebel blessed with inner softness.

My time is divided in just two activities. One when I am listening to this, the other times when I am thinking about this. Itna khoobsurat koi kaise gaa sakta hai Ali? Kaise? Love from Lucknow, India

Ever heard a song, when your soul starts dancing? Yes, Ali saethi's has this sort of charismatic voice. What beautiful lyrics, what brilliant music. Thanks so much Ali for this masterpiece. I know it, this song will live with me forever ❤

Urdu and Pakistani musicians... Unbeatable combination ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 i am smiling and crying at the same time, listening to this

ہائے اردو شاعری کے بعد پہلی دفعہ کسی اردو غزل کو سننے کا مزہ آیا سیٹھی بھائی یو آر دی بیوٹی ااوووسسسم کمال کمال کمال

Witnessing the revival of Urdu again! hats off this is what our artists can achieve if they're not a sellout. A National asset balkay borders do not define this Gem. Long live love and long live the people who choose to live and love!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. I use to play your songs as background music when I'm working. This song got autoplayed today. My hands stopped working, eyes got closed and soul started (like) dancing with the rhythm. Mannnnn I can't describe it into words. Can I attach some of my tears??

Oh my God! How incredibly powerful the 2nd couplet is! My understanding is that the poet is alluding to the end of the world or Qayamat. A strong firey wind will blow from some unknown source destroying everything we see. But his grieving heart will survive even that final calamity and will still continue to grieve beyond the end of times! In other words, his grief has no end. It is timeless, imperishable!!!

This is how souls would sound when they're at peace ❤❤

Until now i never believed music is a healer, this took me to whole different world of peace and content .i never felt this satisfied with music ever before. Thankyou so much Ali sethi.

I feel like i am at my Home, the home where soul is living with such divinity.

I don't know if it's your voice or the music or the lyrics deeper than my thoughts could ever wander does this to me whenever i listen to you. This pierced right through my heart. I feel like crying and miserable yet there's solace and so much peace. Not everyone can understand you and your artistry Ali.

I am a simple Guy! I see his notification! I come here...because I know it's gonna be a Soul healing Song 💖✌️

Stumbled upon this song in the Morning and out of nowhere i am again forming a long lost habit of guiding myself to sleep at night with headphones in and guess what, this song is on repeat. A masterpiece by Ali Sethi, a treat to ears and soul.. one thing i know for sure I would definitely sleep better today😍😍 22/12/2021: its been more than a year and still in love with this song.. its 2AM and i am putting myself to sleep hearing this, yet again. 🥰

وہ عجب گھڑی تھی کہ جس گھڑی لیا درس نسخۂ عشق کا کہ کتاب عقل کی طاق پر جو دھری تھی سو وہ دھری رہی علی سیٹھی یو بیوتی❤️❤️❤️

I don't know why people dislikes talent like this.. if this is not masterpiece then I don't know which song is.. I must say music is the only thing that holds 🇮🇳🇵🇰 together... love from India keep going Allah bless you with all the happiness ahead

It is an adult's Lori.... with its each line giving a lesson...giving a bittersweet feeling...giving the courage to unwillingly accept everything and keep silent with a smile on your face and melt in your own existence....ISHQ

Goosebumps halfway through the song !! This song is so elevating, makes you want to sway in happiness or sadness I am just not sure. The music, the instruments, it's an entirely different feeling. Very soothing to the ears. Ali Sethi never disappoints, but how can someone be so good !!! IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THIS SONG !!!

I'm so thankful to you Ali, for letting us listen to your art. It's a privilege. I just started learning Urdu because it hit me listening to this, more than it has ever hit me before, that how beautiful Urdu is. I will update how that goes :)

Sir, thanks a lot for giving me peace through your songs.... ❤ Lots of respect and love for you from India..🇮🇳

This is my safe place. This is my place. This is where Ali lives. This is where I am found..in bits and pieces. Thank you for existing Ali Love from India

Beautiful! Don’t know if I should focus on the hauntingly beautiful vocals or the poetry, the music or the video. Will have to listen to this a couple of dozens of times to fully understand and appreciate this. ✌🏽👍🏽✌🏽

واہ واہ واہ واہ۔ کاش اردو لغت میں ایسا کوئی لفظ ہوتا جس سے میں اس شاعری کی تعریف کر سکتی۔

That's literally how ANGELS are supposed to sound... You are a farishta bro....❤️❤️❤️

I must say after some time people will recognize Najam Sethi Sahab by Ali Sethi. I feel proud you are Pakistani. Love you bro. Keep it up..❤🇵🇰

Whenever I listen to this masterpiece, it always reminds me of the day my mother left me all alone in this world.... Mjhe aj bhi yaad hai jab mene unka hath pakra hua tha ambulance men or barish horahi thi... chali simt e gaib se ik hawa... k chamman zuhoor ka jal gaya.... magr ek shakh e nihaar ghum... jisey dil kahen so harri rahi.... jab musalsal unhen takleef me dekhne k bad mene dua ki k aye Allah men tumhari raza men razi hun, jo tumhara faisla ho, mjhe tumse koi shikayat nahn hogi, bus meri ammi ko aziyat or takleef se bachalen, unke lye asani karden.... Woh ajab gharri thi k jis gharri, liya dars nuskha e ishq ka.... jo kitaab aqal ki kitaab par.... so wahin dhari ki dhari rahi.... Na to tu raha, na hi men raha... jo rahi so bekhabri rahi...... Allah jannat ul firdour men unhen jaga de...jannat k bhagon me unhen rakhe...ameen sum ameen

Tears in my eyes while listening to this masterpiece.May Allah bless you. Keep Shining ♥️

This song has taken me to places where I have only been in my dreams .. it’s almost flashes of different times and scenarios all put together in a montage .. I see myself in those montages and people I know, I met . All my senses are working , I could smell those times through the flashes and feel the weather on my skin . I totally agree with everyone Ali Sethi is a good singer but so is others working in a field never could I put a finger what makes me listen to Ali then . He has the art to take you on your own journey , the journey you have probably forgotten, bad or good just makes you see yourself from the outside in that snow globe . Bless him !! keep doing what you are doing Ali you don’t know what you are doing but definitely a chosen one .

Couldn't stop listening to this song, it just touches my heart so deeply... I am blessed to be part of this genre where singers like Ali Sethi exist. I think he is still underrated, a gem like him should reach to more hearts!!

Spellbinding...one is transported to the incredible world of divinity... Hats off to Janab Siraj Aurangabadi for the profound poetry , Ali Sethi ji for soulful rendition..n Noah Georgeson for awesome music which takes the rendition to another level. Therapeutic experience!

3:04 Your voice just flowed like honey dripping down and not willing to stop

Honestly this song had no business being this good and touching souls like it did.

Sometimes I feel we have the one of the most beautiful languages in the world. 😅❤

Emotion game strong. The feeling is completely serene when a song brings out so much emotion. Peace to the mind. Calmness in the chaos. Thank you so much for this treat Ali Sir. ❤

Iam from Aurangabad and siraj sahabs grave is beside our colony

The one person who is gonna reccommend me songs like this , is going to be my future partner 🖤

To you who introduced this song to me, I want to say that I like you, I love talking to you but I don’t have the courage to do so. I know we can’t be and you don’t like me. I wish you well. 🎈

I was introduced to this song by a special someone, but sadly the line "Na toh tu raha na toh mein raha, jo rahi ii so bekhabari rahi" applied leaving a bittersweet memory but the magic of this masterpiece is what gives solace....

Finally RU-vid recommendation learnt to suggest some real good music!! Mashalaah!!

He has an outstanding control over his voice...

Bahut he khoobsurat aawaj hai aapki bhai... love from India 🇮🇳

Ali sethi seems to be the last man standing, when it comes to Ghazal's. This dying Genre of Music needs more Ali sethi's.

You can't find a ghazal in this era with such a beautiful complementing music and video. Bravo !

I don't understand the meaning of these lines tho but it brings tears everytime I listen to this. I don't know if it is the music, the texture of your voice or the feeling this song brings with it, but I feel safe and happy and at peace. I actually am glad for your existence. 😭❤️.

My first ever RU-vid comment! This song is soul feeding! The most beautiful poetry blessed with such a divine voice. Perfection! Hats off to you ali!

I swear I had my hand on my heart for the entire song and had tears in my eyes. This is what beautiful music feels like.💕

How come I never heard about this underrated piece of art..This song just replicates what my heart lasts for!

Ali Sethi's voice is divine. These four minutes I drifted away to another world. blissful.

This is the best ghazal I've heard from Ali Sethi. This is his finest performance. Urdu is the most beautiful language in the world along with Farsi. The Bollywood trash that they serve as 'Urdu' is the most base and bastardized version of the language possible. Not only that it almost always seems superimposed. Thank you, Ali for singing this masterpiece. This shows the glory and magnificence of Urdu. Your tallafuz was very apt and your voice seemed as light as a feather. The lyrics are absolutely gorgeous. Loved it more than any other song you've sung. You make Pakistan proud.

If you ever read this. I'm so obsessed with your voice❤️ I first came across ranjish hi sahi and it was on loop for idk how many days, then ishq, then chaandni raat, and now!!! I just hope you get the recognition you deserve because trust me people are making shit music these days, WE NEED YOU, AND YOUR SONGS!

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ from 🇮🇳. music the only universal language.

This is pure art, I cried while listening to this.

निःशब्द हूँ मैं, अली सेठी जी, आप का तह e दिल से शुक्रिया गायन के क्षेत्र में आने के लिये I वर्ना आजकल के ज्यादातर गायक असल गायकी जानते ही नहीं और हम जैसे लोग उनके द्वारा परोसे गए कचरे को सुनने केलिए बाध्य हो जाते हैं 😢

😭😭❤️❤️ واہ واہ واہ

Hands down the Underatted king of south asian music.

They say..... There's a universe within us...A universe infinitely huge than the one we reside in....I think this eternal 4 minute bliss is that sound... The voice.... The silence.... That exists in the universe within us....😊😊😊😊

I think this song has instantly gotten into my top 10 favourite songs.. Will listen it on loop so it could touch my soul. This song has that potential. Not many songs are like this.

Ali sethi saved by soul,he brought my soul from fake emotions to real humanity Emotion,simple,basic Grounded.much love from 🇮🇳.

This song hit my soul in 2021 who else...? Dear Ali these heavy lyrics is directly connected to God. Hope to get to listen more type of these songs in future. Love from Maqbooza Kashmir ❤️

ali sethi is so underrated. He deserves all the appreciation and praise!!

My kids will say we grew up listening to Ali Sethi 🤍 my house echoes his voice! Suroor!

In my concerns there is no one rather than this man who is doing justice to classical music. He has a higher level than usual musicians.

This ghazal was written by Siraj Aurangabadi, the great Urdu poet nearly 250 years ago.

I just wish HE KEEPS SINGING THESE GHAZALS AND SUFI SONGS He is beyond words to describe when it comes to such songs.

I just discovered this one by Ali Sethi. I'm stunned into silence by the beauty of this rendition. Wow....Just wow!

This is something out of this world. We're blessed to have an artist like Ali bhai in this time. Been hearing this song on loop.

I can relate to the song at so many levels!!!! I do'nt know why but I teared up by the end. Have always loved your work Ali Sethi. Lots of love from across the border. Keep creating great music.👍👍👍👍

I cannot get enough of this song.. on loop been more than 3 hrs...

One of the most beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard. Truly magic to the ears 🙌

27 years of my life wasted on listening to other songs. This is the best song I have ever listened in my entire life. Melody, lyrics, composition, and of course the most soulful Ali sethi's voice it's just a master piece

Beautiful song, this is a piece of art. ❤️ Love from Cameroon 🇨🇲
