Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Meets Javed Akhtar Sahib

Nusrat Fateh Ali and Javed Akhtar

In 1996, Nusrat Sahib traveled across the border to meet Javed Akhtar in Mumbai, which led to one of the greatest musical effort. It was a magical meeting of a great musical genius with one of the greatest Urdu poets, which Javed Akhtar rightly called ‘a spiritual meeting to cleanse souls’.

Afreen Afreen was the first collaboration of Nusrat Sahib with Indian Legendary Poet Javed Akhtar, which resulted in his track Afreen Afreen relaunched in form of a MTV Music Video. It remains one of greatest verses by Javaid Sahib, extremely vivid and romantic.

Ankhain Neechay Hoyeen To Haya Ban Gayeen
Ankhain Oonchee Hoyeen To Dua Ban Gayeen
Ankhain Uth Kar Jhakeen Too Adaa Ban Gayeen
Ankhain Jhuk Kar Utheen To Qazaa Ban Gayeen,

As Beloved Eyes lowered, they became modesty
As Eyes raised, they became a prayer
As raised eyes lowered, they became a charm
As lowered eyes rose, they became apocalypse
