NASEEM-E-BAHAR | A Tribute to Farida Khanum by Ali Sethi | Virsa Heritage Revived 

When I first heard Ali Sethi, I thought this was just a rich boy with a passing fancy for Pakistani music. Now I feel grateful for this rising star on the horizon of great music. Farida Khanum is unquestionably great. But this young man has acquired brilliance to great joy of all those who love Pakistani music. And in such a short time. His command over "sur", "lah" and improvisation is marvelous. It was fortunate that the he ever beautiful Farida Khanum accepted him as an intern. He so effortlessly sings (finest ghazals of great masters, another plus) in her distinguished style. Extremely well taught Farida Khanum Saheba. Best of luck and God speed Ali Sethi. And yes, it is so good to have Sonia Hussain as a co presenter. Her language is high quality, she seems to understand ghazal and has an understated elegance.

Ali Sethi is very dedicated singer. He learnt Sanskrit.. it's great. Thanks to Yosuf Salahuddin who organised this program. Love from India.

I have been listening to these ghazals of Fareeda ji for 25 years now. It’s freakish that the ghazals Ali sang are my absolute favourites and I find them surreal. Fareeda ji was the favourite singer of my favourite Jagjit Singh as well. No words about Ali Sethi , he is out of this world.

1. kuchh aur gumrahī-e-dil kā raaz kyā hogā 12:00 2. ye kyā ki ik jahāñ ko karo vaqf-e-iztirāb 24:53 3. uzr aane meñ bhī hai aur bulāte bhī nahīñ 39:10 4. chorī kahīñ khule na nasīm-e-bahār kī 55:47 5. dil-e-muztar ko samjhāyā bahut hai 57:15 6. jā padeswa mitwā 1:07:45 7. dard minnat-kash-e-davaa na huā 1:12:12 8. KHabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq 1:22:25

I have been listening Muhammad Rafi to Noor Jahan and all our legends since 2007, I am 24 years old now, the way they sung flawless and incomparable singing no one can sing like these legends, if we talk about expressions in words and how to pronounce the word (Mohammad Rafi) was gifted. After a long time I find flawless singing, where singer was trying to express his feelings in words. This is so inimitable and ALI SETHI voice is like honey coated with chocolate.

My father used to wait for this show every weak , I wish he was alive today to listen to this amazing show.😢

12:00 KUCH AUR GUMRAHI-E-DIL 24:50 YE KYA KI IK JAGAN KO 39:00 UZR AANE MEIN BHI HAI 55:40 CHORI KAHIN KHULE NA 57:10 DIL-E-MUSTAR KO SAMJHAYA 1:07:30 JA PARDES 1:12:10 MAIN NA ACHAA HUA 1:22:10 KHABAR-E-TAHAYYUR Beshak yahan bhot khoobsurat baatein hui hain, par laut laut ke ek hi baat na sunna aur gaanon ka index zaroori hai, lemme be of help ❤️🌻

Ali Sethi legit deserves more...He is great.... Love from India ❤️❤️

Ali’s humility and talent combined with love of ghazals is mind blowing..drives me to tears of joy!

Respect to Ustad Farida ji for polishing this gem (Ali Sethi) & brother Ali , you are the one who should be admired for having love for ghazals. Love you bhai.

Ali Sethi, you have done justice to Begum Sahib's choice of raag & nazam. Praise for you from Mumbai

A singer whose body language emanates only devotion n passion for singing!! Farida ji ki best ghazal uthhaii hai...mazaa aa gaya.....ts in my bucket list to listen to A.Sethi LIVE!!!

Ali Sethi, you speak very well. Brilliant! Your manners of speaking are so nice.

Ali sethi is a Legend in making. Yousaf Salahuddin you are doing a great job for this nation.

The background musicians aren't getting enough credit, they did an excellent job, in my opinion.

Itni khubsurat mehfil badi mushkil se sunane ko milti hai, ❤️❤️. Lots of love to the makers and ali sethi for such a beautiful show. People are bit impatient, they should turn off/silent their phones in such a beautiful mehfil. I wish they could understand that they are very lucky to have such kind of mehfil.

Mujhe hameisha lagta hai ki, Ali Sethi ko bahut hi umdaa taleem haasil hui hai...aur useiy acknowledge karne kei liyeiy unhoneiy behisaab riyaaz bhi kiya hai.....kamaal gaayiikii! Big admirer...Gaateiy rahein Ali..thank you Virsa!! Areiy waah Abida ji aur Ghulam Ali ji tashrheef laayeiy hain!!

Shola sa lapak jaye hai awaz to dekho. Awaz me badi pukhtagi hai. Superb, totally speechless. Farida Khanum is a legend. Salute to Yousuf saheb for organizing such soulful concerts.

Yousuf Salli Sahab, we are very grateful to you for virsa heritage programs.

علی سیٹھی زندہ باد- آپ کی آخری غزل (خبر اے ) نے تو دل چیر دیا ہے

what a performance ! heart warming to see the legend of Ali sethi evolving now ! Breath of fresh air to see a youngster indulging in classical music ! Such a rich and classic gathering justice not done by Sonia Hassan with her poor choice of words , lack of articulation and finesse in conducting such a lovely gathering !

Yousuf sahab kya bat hy aur ali kya kamal gaaya hy ap ne💖💖💖

Ali Sethi is so much talented and highly educated is a pleasant surprise for me and assurance that classic music is in good shape InshaAllah

Last song is my favorite. So nice,

Although he comes from a vaderah family,it’s nice to see him trying to sing rather than go to watch a mujra .

Thanks for uploading Yusuf sahab.

Nice to see both of you together

Very impress to hear sethi today seen at Houston USA wow he pull croud

Had the honor of meeting Ali Sethi last year. He has done an amazing job in slowly reviving my generations interest in authentic music from our culture. Credit to Salahuddin sahib and the Lok Virsa team for working so hard in difficult conditions for so many years to give new life to a pillar of Pakistani culture.

MashAllah

Wow... Great show ...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ali ji' s voice is very melodious.

Nafrat ki lakeeron se nikalte huye Ludhiana aksar pahunch jaati hai Aapki Awaaz Mithas ban Kar iss Hawa mein ghul Inn lakeeron ko pighla Kar Mere vehde aa naachti hai Aapki Awaaz Jab akela sa lage Mujhe Heer Ban ishq ka jaam pilati hai Aapki Awaaz Chahe abh alag se ho chuke Hain Tere mere Punjab Lekin shaam hote hi Lahore mein dhalta Suraj dikhati hai Aapki Awaaz Nani Meri Shukriya bol rahi thi aapko Kehti , Gujranwala yaad Karva deti hai Aapki Awaaz Hardik Kaushal.

Legend in the making❤❤

Zabardast....masallah👌👏👏👏👏

Great voice ....and best gzal for dard minat wahoooo
