No 1 Pop singer of Pakistan
Youngstuners are rapper. Bas that's it. Faris is on another level man. No one can be like him. Talha anjum wghera bas rapper hain. Bachay sun hee lety hain.
The host is very annoying. Constantly interrupting and taking the discussion off topic.
Parizaad is exceptional song.
It was really a treat to listen to Bunny Bhai. So candid and absorbing
Ha ha , your guest had all illogical explanation to support Pakistani anthem.
sir u r so sweet ❤🎉🙏🏼💞🤲🤗
Vida karo song is inspired by the old song of Guru Dutt's movie pyasa song Ye dunuya agar mil bhi jaye to kya.
our childhood her, legend.
Rafay bhai any news regarding Rohail Hyatt coming to your podcast? We're eagerly waiting!
Host is blank 😅 but thanks for calling him
Yar hum bhi booray ho Jay gay
wahhh zabardast..
Yeh javeria saud ko pakro she's claiming this song written by her? I don't trust her though
Google says it was Sabir Zafar, a famous poet.
Bunny is not a singer. He is creator. Just like a Shoaib Mansoor. People less known but has huge huge impact.
Dekhen jo log drugs letey hain unk face sy zahir ho jata hai or mujhy nahi lgta k he was on drugs so sb fans un ko apni duaon main yad rakhen
Amir Zaki passed away on June 2, 2017.
I have followed Bee Gul's writing , I sometimes wonder how she hasn't become a victim of Fatwa...it's a matter of time...sad but reality Pakistani women are no better than caged reproductive labour !
Rohail has potential to become AR REHMAN of Pakistan music industry
AR Rehman is no way near the amount of layers and detail Rohail puts into his music. Listen to Lala Sehrai for instance. AR Rehman is a commercial musician while Rohail is more focused on art and musical heritage of subcontinent.
@@syedmohammadnoorallahshahn6785totally agree with you 💯
Bunny The legend My favourite singer all time
Behtareen, Rafay sahab yeh documentary kab aye gi? any idea?
We would love to hear more from him....his health crisis and how he coped....his marriage and relationship advises
Please kindly share the link to the record label’s website for purchase /download the album
Link is in the description. realworldrecords.com/releases/chain-of-light/ nusratfatehalikhan.bandcamp.com/album/chain-of-light

Plz invite Mahesh Bhatt for conversation.He is good mind in India.
Chamkeela mujhe to bahut pasand aayi.
My favourite singer bunny,, kafi time K bad in KO dekha, ap dono Ki batin enjoy Ki,,1:03:20,,🤭🤭😂😂😂😂,,
👍🏻 Good
Host is so stupid ..jealous of Bollywood..Arey bhai Bollywood has recent gems too lapata ladies chandu champion ..ott panchayat is class apart..but I can see hidden sheer hatred
Although not related to the interview, it was a treat to hear. Zia destroyed the progressing country, which has not been stable since the late 1970s. He went unceremoniously, but millions have been suffering for the last 40 years due to his mask of Islamization.
Waqar Bhai great Music Director ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another fascinating conversation! Thank you both so much. Looking forward to future episodes with you both.
Great podcast. But Dr Ali Raj talks sooooo fast! Oh yaar, thorra easy ho jao 🤣
Momins don’t believe in nation state - These liberals love to find solace in nation state while living and enjoying magribi culture education and lifestyle. Momin love only Nasheed !
Host needs to learn to chill! Thora kam bol bhai.
What an informative and educational podcast! Kudos to Ali Raj for always bringing such insights and knowledge. Always a joy to listen to him.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aadab and the hand gesture was invented by Lucknowi Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. And lot of Indian culture also went outside in Iran, Arab icentral asia etc: spices, herbs, sugar, rice, our fabrics etc, our literature panchtantra, kathasaritsagar, and influenced them, chess, our mathematics sciences medicine, damascus steel, infact the famous arab numerals which are actually Indian numerals, in fact a famous musalman scholar came to india and wrote many things Al-Biruni. and muslim world also got to know our might in early years of our north western and northers kings: lalitaditya muktapida ,bappa rawal, prithviraj chauhan, maharana pratap, rana sanga, rana kumbha, shivaji, and there was this literature also in apabrahmsha language about indian king and alauddin khalji : Kanhadade Prabandha
accha hai ki video speed up karne ki zarurat nahi, bhai sahab khud kitni speed mein bolte hain
Ameer Khusro didnt kewn Urdu, because that language was not there only, there was Khari boli and still today Urdu and standard Hindi are essentially Khari boli only. And other than foreign languages, Ameer Khusro knew local langauges: Khari Boli , Braj , Awadhi, Bhojpuri. Even Akbar made local language peotry not in Urdu but Braj, he once wrote a poem for Birbal, and wrote other short poems also in Braj, he also knew Hindi gali too. Poet Bhushan, who was Hindi region person, but also wrote in Braj mainly poetries on Shivaji Maharaj who was a Marathi.
The most popular 1 langauge of Medieval India, in which so much literature is written was Braj Bhasha, no other come very close, other was Awadhi but still Braj was most popular especially in middle era of Hindi Literature, it was not Urdu. And the early desi (modern languages) starts from Apabhramsha, and then comes Avhatt, Pingal Dingal, Maithili, Khari boli, Braj , Awadhi, modern Rajasthani languages, etc and other north indian langauge family, and Urdu.
pre partition north india😂😂 even after partition north india is here only, and its not ganges its Ganga, Ganga Maiyya (mother Ganga)
Urdu is essentially Khari Boli language which got mainly persianized, later sanskrit words were heavily added to create Manak Hindi (standard Hindi), but its essentially Khari boli , and the most popular writing in it is probably Ameer Khusro using Khari Boli, maybe he mixed some other words of other Hindi belt languages too like Braj Bhasha, Awadhi etc, i dont know. And when it went south it became Dakhani, but again its essentially is khari boli. Urdu Hindi Dakhani all are Khari Boli.
Happy Independence Day Pakistan. But dont forget that all of us are Bharatiya, and part of Bharat Mata that is Akhand Bharat (Indian subcontinent), with many sub Indian cultures. Pakistan is just a national identity unlike India
Baqi sab toh theek hai Lekin hum zameen ko khuda nhi maante aur na hi iss ki ibaadat kartay hain . Ye saari zameen khuda ki makhlooq ke liye hai Cheen o Arab hamara , hindusitaan hamara Muslim hain hum watan hai saara jahan hamara
@@sam-239-. In our ancient culture we already have the idea of: 'Vasudhaiva-Kutumbakam' , which means The world is one family. Aur jo apne culture apne desh ka nahi ho sakta woh kisi ka nahi ho sakta. Woh aaj humme dikh raha hai, apne desh aur Bangladesh ka haal dekho. Aur arab desho ne toh khud tumlogo ka saath chhod diya hai.

tumlogo ka anthem persian ya Urdu (joh ki hamari bhasha hai) usmein nahi honi chahiye, par local langauge jaise most spoken punjabi, ya mixture of all ur languages mein honi chahiye, or some minority language
