Goosebumps! Kamaal Video and your voice is heavenly.

It's 6am. Me and my 6 month old baby quietly patiently listening to "nakhule aankh agar khwaab hai TOH khaab sahi" verse on repeat. ❤️❤️ Love conquers all

i discovered him after pasoori. Love how skilled pakistani singers are, be it shafqat amanat ali or rahat fateh ali and now him. They have a very strong classical base.

Im teacher here in Pakistan.. I do not spread hate.. Bcz I know.. My indian neighbors they wont let the music die... Your comments are just love... ❤❤❤

If you've discovered Ali Sethi, believe me; you've a great taste in music ❤ Edit: Thanks for 4k likes 🥹

when i heard it first time, my dad was too sick and i thought he will get better and i'll make him hear this first up........ He never recovered.... i lost him.... maybe in another world...we'll share this masterpiece together Abu :(

Sometimes I cannot believe the amount of talent God has gifted to Pakistan, yet somehow we were never able to look at it, we had it only for people who could see it from the outside. Imagine if we could see it "right". Ali sethi, you are a generational talent. One who will be remembered and missed from a multitude of future generations. lucky to have you with us, right now!

After this Song ended, A silence spread in my room, And I was missing my body's presence in that room after a minute, When I came in Consciousness, I thanked my Lord for giving me and retaining my life to listen such a beautiful composition In this brutal world I found my peace in a song, Thanks Pakistan from your neighbour 🇮🇳

You came, you sang, you healed.

I am Pakistani (abroad)... First I was introduced to Pasoori a few weeks back.. then my curiosity further exposed me to the Genre that is Ali Sethi... I am sitting here sad, that I missed so much... but then I hear a whisper... "Let me take you to the realm where time has no meaning " come... you have an eternity to be in my trance, come... celebrate life with me..

If you know Ali for these, and not just Pasoori, I love you. ❤️

Some thoughts while watching the video: The set mimics something you'd see in an airport or a train station. We are all passengers and somehow someday we'd have to be at a stage - a station - where everything around us is broken; firaaq (separation) is inevitable. But everyone going through that, despite having different stories & backgrounds, is connected. Our longing, our pain, our search for destiny unites us. And though it may take some time, the light you're seeking will illuminate, just like in a station or airport you'd look for your departure time on the screens and will tell you that the wait is over. You'd finally reach the state of Wasl (Union) in the end.

If you are here, believe me you have an awesome taste in music and you have realized that every time Hindustanis like me find solace and love from art like these, your heart fills with joy. After all, our forefathers gave up their comforts and sacrificed their lives so that we two can live happily ever after. Do not let anybody from either side lessen the love you have for the other side. It is times like these that test how humane we truly are. Always remember, our forefathers fought together against the colonial rule. It reminds me of the scene from LOTR when Frodo asks Sam,"What are we holding on to, Sam? " and Sam replies ,"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for.” Lots of love from India.

Prime video did not include this song from Modern love Mumbai in the official soundtrack of the series just because Ali is from Pakistan,music crosses all boundries imposed by hatred.Ali Sethi you're a great singer n the wonderful experience of listening to this song is like something money can't buy and only be felt.

Revisiting after watching Baai (Modern Love Mumbai), what a beautiful use of this song 😍

Mohd Rafi would be smiling listening to this up there. If I may, you sound like a young version of him.

A Pakistani singer meant to be the Prodigy to revive the legacy of thee lost "art"!

Thank you Ali, for existing! Your songs have healed me in a way you can not possibly have any idea of! Peace ❤️

It's been 3 years to this song and I would have listened to it for at least a thousand times. My whole perspective about Pakistan started to change after I listened to Ali, his music and his perspective about life. I wish all the luck and prosperity to our Pakistan.❤️ I hope together we'll show the way to the world one day.

Indians are true admirers of music and their comments are so encouraging. Thank you neighbors. Hope for a peaceful south Asia.

I feel sad when music like this doesn't get more recognition as compared to songs like "lamberghini". This is such a beauty.

I know that a lot of people are gonna come here after watching Modern Love: Mumbai. I was happy that they used this song in the series coz Ali's music will now get the recognition it deserves. Not that it hasn't been recognised yet but I feel like it still hasn't received the immense appreciation that it deserves, as opposed to the overrated artists out there.

Such a masterpiece.. Defines sukoon..

this comment section gives me hope.....hope that this love for each other will prevail over the hatred. amazing what a song can do. brilliant song btw.☮&♥️.

Being underrated is such a bliss, cause you only gonna have mindful audiences... Who appreciate you with each cell of their body.... Thanks Lord Ali Sethi...👑

It’s 3 am everyone is asleep, it’s so cold & quiet and I’m running outside under the shadow of stars, listening Chandni Raat. Magical feeling :)

Ali Sethi, you don't know how many nights I've spent listening to this song!!! Love from India 🇮🇳

I cry everytime I listen to this song. Mr Ali Sethi u have changed my life. Ur music has changed my life. Thank you sir. From Kolkata, India.

What a beautiful concept of the world being a cold and gloomy place where we, the passengers, are stuck in its loneliness and meaninglessness. And the only way to survive is by being there for each other.

When I heard Ali Sethi I freaked out..kyunki sach ye hai ki Pakistan ke youth ne ( except Atif ) ab tak music ko ganda nahi hone diya hai india ke T-Series ki tarah ..hats off and lots of love from india ..on loop number 15 for this song

heavenly ... why people fight, why there is a need of boundaries, why can't everything be so serene like music like this...

This voice sinks in deepest place of my heart, like a stone dropped in a still pond, first in a hurry then at a fixed terminal velocity.

"Na khule aankh, agar khwab hai, tou khwab sahi" BLESSED

Such artists accumulate love that proves ' There is a society who lives beyond political rivalries with love and respect '

This was sublime... Found this because of Modern Love Mumbai... But man! What a song! And What a Rendition! Subhanallah!

The serene look of peace on his face throughout the song and especially when it ends, makes me want to break into the screen of my laptop and give him a tight hug. Love from an Indian, Pandit Ali Sethi.

I just closed my eyes and let my inner self loose... I experienced love.. I experienced peace and I experienced pain... Ali sethi this song is a big wide win.. Love love and love 😍 from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳

Na khule Aankh agar khwaab hain to khwaab sahi; Ye mulakat badi der ke baad aayi hain!! ❤️❤️

Ali sethi gets so little in return ... what a voice.. controlled vocals.. n integration of emotion ... its a must for him to be a bigger star than he is currently... 👏👏

Amid Indo-Pak tensions, this song is giving us ‘sukoon’, even across the border.

Mere pas kehne ko sabh nahi hai. Bas itna bolungi k ye sangit hi hai jo hume jod k rakhta hai. Khuda ki barqat hai jo apki aawaz sunne ko mili, gaate rahiyega. Salaam border k us paar se.

Someone who was very close to me suggested me this song, and now whenever I miss that person I come here to listen to this one!

Can't over with this masterpiece how talented Pakistani actors and singers yet ali is so underrated 🇮🇳❤️

I think Pakistan is going through a revolution in Music and Video Making, thanks to so many people in our media industry. But with some people you always expect something special.

That guy with the headphones turning to look at the girl in the burqa with a Rolling Stones printed bag.. and every single person who has a story to tell in this video.. can't describe how beautifully made this video is. And Ali Sethi, what can I say about your divine voice !

You can't sing this song along with him without having tears in your eyes(if you understand the lyrics completely)❤ Thanx man for this feeling......

What kind of a musician is this guy Ali Sethi? I think he is moreover like a god sent angel of music 😍😇❤️ LOVE from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

My name has never sounded so beautiful...until now. Heavenly voice❤❤

Nobody would stop us for loving the art,culture,music and people of Pakistan.Chandni raat zaroor aayegi.love from India.♥

I came across this song and "chan kitthan" just 2 days back. But I have listened these two masterpieces may be more than 50 times in just 2 days. Take a bow. Love from India❤

It's nice to feel so much love crossing boundaries in the comments. Well done to all of those who want to spread kindness to each other.

Chandni Raat - A Bliss of Subtlety! Co-Incidentally, I am writing this note exactly one year since the release of this single by Ali Sethi! Not that I discovered this song only now. But I must admit that I took some time to digest it, appreciate the depth of a seemingly simple song in the first listening. This song has multi-dimensional layers of music, lyrics, visualisation and meaning which makes the process of interpreting it so beautiful. Overall the composition guides the viewer through emotions of separation and distance at first to the event of union towards the end with subtle, metaphorical representations of love. Love of all kinds for all kinds of people - as is apparent from the video. Be it gratitude, warmth, concern, affection, compassion and a multitude of such emotions. While there is a human to human element apparent during the whole video, towards the end there’s also an over-arching union happening of everyone in the room taking our interpretations to a different layer of abstraction! Musically, the song has a simple arrangement - primarily anchored on piano based chords and arpeggios and occasional riffs at places to fill up the musical space beautifully. So it’s mainly the Piano and Ali’s vocals which is quite dominant in the whole arrangement. The song is on D-major scale and the chord progressions are the quintessential 4-chord combination at most places which is nicely enriched by piano riffs to add a tinge of variety to the background music. Few lines into the song, there’s a subtle layering of strings and brass sections (like one at 02:00) which grows to prominence towards the end. This subtle musical build up also correlates with the larger narrative of separation to union as it leads to a positive crescendo. French Horns makes a pronounced appearance in the last interlude (at 03:44) and then eventually the whole verse that follows bringing a sense of warmth in the emotion. I also particularly liked the rhythmic notes of the brass section towards the end (at 04:25) bringing a sense of tempo into the song in an otherwise percussion-free arrangement. The essence of the song remains Ali’s vocals which binds the music, visuals and lyrics into a beautiful imaginative story. Ali sings on a relative low scale to perhaps convey the depth of the composition effectively. It also helps in clarity of the notes as well as emoting through it effectively which sometimes get lost in high scales. Ali is masterful with his vocals throughout the compassion. There are places where you see a fluidic transition of melody where you can hardly discern the underlying notes. Then there are also places where you experience the trademark Ali Sethi alaaps - crisp, clear and immaculate. Ali uses amplitude variations effectively to emote throughout the song. As much as the music builds on you on frequent listening, the video keeps adding various dimensions to your interpretations over a period of time as well. All the actors, while silent, yet convey a lot through their subtle actions, emotions and body language and keep the viewers guessing. Overall the composition is what I call a ‘Bliss of Subtlety’ - a collection of subtle influences that is driving a larger, stronger point. Enjoy discovering and unraveling this! Musically Yours, Prabhu

Why are u so underrated sir.... I dont of wht other people think... Bt acc to me u are the best classical singer in the whole subcontint presently... No comaprison.. Hands down..... Huge respect from INDIA

What a creation !! The words , the music , the rendition , the visuals .. so intense and evokes the deepest feelings. For a moment after listening to the song for the first time, I was scared to think what if I had never chanced upon this ever ( came here after Modern Love Mumbai ) and would've missed witnessing this absolute piece of magic. Keep being yourself Ali Sethi !

Modern love Mumbai made me discover this gem. It’s sad that this song is not a part of the series Jukebox. Loads of love

It feels good when INDIAN fans appreciate our songs.. Peace 😍❤

Everyone on both sides of the border should be forced to listen to this. I bet we will never have a war. Larayi mein kuch nahi rakha. Saray Jawab Pyar mein hain❤

Bhai saab , bhai saab bhai saab 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 wonderful , touched the heart, ur voice simply reaches the soul, it brings a tehrav in me ( a stillness ) , purely meditative. may existence shower a lot of love nd happiness in ur life

I am very grateful to my friend Abhay, who introduced me to Ali sethi's songs back in 2019. Since then I Have been drooling over his songs. People xome here after PASOORI , but I know him since a long time, I am proud of that

This song takes me to another world from which I don't want to return...the lyrics, the singing...it feels like its meant to be

Background Trumpet ,French Horn and Flugelhorn with mellow tinge of piano. Its difficult to even imagine a ghazal on these instruments. Beautiful 💙💙💙

If there is anything that can bring us together once again.. and soothe that pain of separation .. that anger .. that loss.. to be once again brothers in arms.. it’s music .. ❤️ 🇮🇳 🇵🇰

I have been listening to every song of him.. Even being a pathan i understood the lyrics of mahi mera and chan kithan.. I have these song recorded offline and when so ever i go to an out of service area.. Sitting on a post somewhere in mountains, earphone plugged in.. Ali sethi's charming and soothing voice... Memories of my family flashing in front of eyes and tears rolling down The cheeks... Such are the feeling.. Such is the class.. More power and success to you

I wish love can been seen as often in real world as in such pieces of music....

Never waited so desperately for a song! Or shall I put it like "Ali Bhai ka gaana badi der baad aaya hai". Loads of love! ♥️

This man is in the league of rafi sahab, Gulam ali, kishor da, mehedi hasan saab. Nothing but love and respect from india.

It's not just a mere song, it's life's subtleties and nuances threaded into a beautiful ruhaani melody that evokes everything that should ever matter in life and how soulfully have you sung it! You have crossed all human boundaries......... ❤️❤️

Cried listening to it. The focus was brilliant. Society is so self centered within that in a gathering "mehfil" (Eg: train/bus station). It could be a chance to socialize and share ones sorrow (eg: "Mehfil" gathering of people) which majority now ignores. Great voice sir, Great Message!!!!!

We were ruled by british for 150 years, but it still feels like we are being ruled just knowing how much we lost in 1947... you lost Sachin, we lost Imran, you lost Lata di, we lost Faridaji, you lost arijit, we lost Ali! I am just glad to be living in an era when our governments are still allowing us to keep the music alive without geographical boundaries! Peace !

Ohh my god!!!! Abi tk maine kaise nhi suna ye song......stunned..wat a peaceful voice...

the song touches "Rooh" The ending background score is just out of the world. Nothing beats Ali sethi.

This song is in repeated mode on my Playlist, and the first I heard it, my tears started rolling down my cheeks. I thought it's because of the voice, it would go away as I become used to of the song and voice. But it's been 1 night 1 whole day, I am still feeling the same. Surreal, exceptional, loving, soulful, totally in awe of this art.

What a song...beyond LOC and all differences..Love from India..Ali Sethi.

If this video doesn't count as a piece of art, then I don't know what does.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOOTHING SONG AND AMAZING STORY TELLING ... love, emotion, music have no border 💗 ... I would have never discover Ali Sethi, if Pasoori wouldn't happen

Politics and geopolitics has made us enemies but till this music is there some hope is left 🙏. Love from India

I heard this song in Ayushman khurana's insta story then I listened in on KZfaq and I fell in love with this song and Ali Seth's voice Love from Rajasthan, India ❤

Why the hell I found him so late? Thanks to pasoori ❤️❤️ there's a magic in his voice.

I've found this guy Ali Sethi from last Coke Studio Season 8 with the mesmerising song "Umraan Laagiyaan" and the very 1st time I heard him, he instantaneously stole my heart and soul. What an amazing singing sensation. From the singing style influenced heavily on the classical genre, great pronunciation of words, rhythm, melodious, outstanding singing skills every single thing about him, left me astonished. His voice and the singing style are beyond compliments. A soulful voice that's charming, soul soothing, calming, cherished, rejuvenating, rejoicing, replenishing inner peace and not the least, mesmerising feelings that entice delightfulness. Since, Come Studio Season 8, Ali Sethi became one of my most top listed signing sensations whom no one can ignore or resist not to be his devoted fan. If Ali Sethi is the one who's existing in anyone's music dictionary, certainly they've already gotten astoundingly great taste in music. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Pakistan you have really talented singers which amazes me each time. Namaste beautiful hearted people of Pakistan from Kathmandu, Nepal.

Ali Sethi, the way u sing (gayaki) reminds of Mohammed Rafi's soulful style..was transported to an old world..ur voice and d way u sing/modulate ur voice/nuance ur notes (harkat) hs that magical old world charm and purity!

Its the greatness of song or something which strikes the cord that makes a tear rollout of my eye everytime I listen to this song.

i m from extreme north east of India n i m a fan of ur wounderfull music..... politics divides but music unite

Mere samne wali sarhad pe Kehte hay ke dushman rehta hay par ghoor se dekha jab usko wo tuo mera he jesa dikhta hay Lot of love and respect from pakistan And indians thankyou for such a loving comments

Some will say I am exaggerating. But trust me I am not. This is almost Mohammad Rafi level nuance in singing. You are amazing.

The whole Sethi family (Ali, Meera, their father Hon. Najam Sathi sahab & Ali's mother) they all are extremely talented & are into Media business & endorses Culture, Music, Art, Writings, leftist views...Etc Very renowned , thoughtful & blessed family.

Beautiful song! Reminds me of "Jurm-e-ulfat ki hume log sazaa dete hain" by Lata ji!

Pakistan’s Rafi. Carry on Ustaad....love it

This guy Never disappoints.....love u sir ...love from Neighbors❤️❤️🇮🇳🇵🇰

Like many Indians here, came here after discovering this gem on "Modern Love Mumbai". Soul-stirring to say the least. Top notch rendition this from Ali Sethi. This song reminds me so much of "Zindagi" (from Yuvraaj composed by AR Rahman) & Khamaj by Shafaqat Amanat Ali.

Badi saalon badh koi aise aawaz Suni hai jo behad sukun de… n gaane ke bol .. masha allah!

This has such a beautiful message. May sense prevail. Humanity prevail ♥️

Ali bhai, rulane ke liye shukriya. Duya karti hoon ki aap ko har khushi mile. Love from India. We love you. There are many people like me. WC Abhinandan ji ka mehamannawazi ke liye shukriya. ❤️❤️

Heard this gem 3 years ago. Now, I came back from Modern Love Mumbai : Ep 2. 🎧 This song was the soul of that episode.

Some Great Saint said, "If music is not meditating then it's not music" Mostly we listen to Noise in the name of music, but this gem is from some other parallel universe. ♡

Ali Sethi you remind me of “Rafi Sahab” ... What a voice texture you have ... Line” Na khule khwaab aankh line” you won’t believe how beautifully you have sung ...

Love from India, Don't let guns and bombs win over beauty and music.

How is this song so under rateddd???? This has to go viral!!
