Alif allah chambe di booti by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

"Alif allah chambe di booti, murshad man vich laai hu.
Nafi asbaat da paani mileyo, har ragge har jaai hu.
Andar buti mushk machaiya, jaan phulaan te ayi hu.
Jeeve murshad kaamil bahu, jaen eh booti laayi hu"



       The song recently appeared in the movie Cocktail and in coke studio, both versions by Arif Lohar and it was a huge hit. The kalaam is written by Hazrat Sultan Bahu. The tradition song has been sung by a lot of singers over the time. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan presented it as a classical sufi Qawwali. what makes it a special is the variation of tempo used by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in the song. He goes from low scale to high scale and enthrills you. A different and lovely sufi kalaam to listen.
