Lyrics

گلوں میں رنگ بھرے باد نو بہار چلے
چلے بھی آؤ کہ گلشن کا کار وبار چلے

قفس اداس ہے یارو صبا سے کچھ تو کہو
کہیں تو بہر خدا آج ذکر یار چلے

جو ہم پے گزری سو گزری مگر شب ہجراں
ہمارے اشک تیری عاقبت سنور چلے

Review

I love Ali Sethi’s voice, whether it is his solo “Chandani Raat Badi Der Ke Baad Aati Hai” or “Tinak Dhin” from Coke Studio Season 10.

When you listen to it, it is seemingly effortless performance. But when you watch the video, you see how much effort actually goes into making it sound effortless. This is a slow burn song, giving me another ghazal sarayi nostalgia.

Until next review, stay blessed! Don’t forget to read other reviews and my books 🙂
