A beautiful qawali by Khan saab. I am not sure about the name of the writer. From the last stanza it seems that it was written by Mohsin Naqvi. If anyone can confirm/correct it, please post in the comments. tumne bhi thukra hi diya hai dunia se bhi door huye apni ana ke saare sheeshe aakhir chakna-choor huye (ana - self, ego) humne jin par ghazlein sochi unko chaha logon ne hum kitne badnaam huye the woh kitne mashoor huye ...
Today, finally i got the chance to watch Rahat Fateh Ali Khan live in concert. As we haven’t seen Nusrat singing live so to watch Rahat perform is the closest we can get to watching Nusrat live. And yes that is true as well. No surprises here, Rahat is hugely talented. Lets first talk about the good stuff. He stared with man kunto maula and did it brialliantly. After that came 2 bollywood movie songs he has done, no wonder he did it awesomely but that was not the stuff we were interested in. Then came the real gem dillagi…Nusrat’s version is of 17 mins. It was not that long but again brilliantly did. Next was yeh jo halka halka saroor hai…& it was a mind blowing performance clearly showing what a great teacher Nusrat was and how beautifully Rahat has been trained under him. Again a long spell of bollywood stuff and then sanu ik pal chain na aave & akhian udeekdiyan. He was about to end it with dam mast qalandar but somebody requestesd to sing tere mast mast do nain (from movie Dabbang). He amazingly sung tere mast mast do nain; not really in a movie song style but at really high pitch. Amazing…amazing performance. And the ending beauty was evergreen dam mast qalandar mast mast that got everyone to clapping with the song. For me personally, the bollywood stuff was the absolute crap, firstly in a sense that that is not what Rahat’s real talent is and secondly it disturbed the flow. When he sang dillagi & halka halka saroor it was magic all around but it got disturbed with that x y z stuff from bollywood. ...

Awesome lyrics by Nasir Kazmi and given a life by Nusrat saab. My lifetime favourite. gam hai ya khushi hai tu, meri zindagi hai tu aafton ke daur mein, chaiyn ki ghadi hai tu meri raat ka chiraag, meri neend bhi hai tu main khizan ki shaam hun, rutt bahar ki hai tu (khizan - autumn, decay) doston ke darmiyaan, waj-he dosti hai tu meri sari umar mein, ek hi kami hai tu ...
