Ali Zafar made his debut as a musician with the album "Huqa Pani", released in Pakistan in 2003 and worldwide in 2005. The album was an instant hit, selling over five million copies worldwide and winning several major awards and nominations. It also put Ali into the league of the most popular artists ever to have come out of Pakistan with a massive fan following locally and internationally. Ali has been to 11 different countries worldwide and has performed at more than almost 200 shows infront of thousands of fans from all over the globe. In so little time and such young age Ali has one album to his credit and has won the hearts of millions with his multi faceted personality and the magical voice and is all set to rock the world with his second album “Masty”.
"I had a dream. That dream became reality in 2003 with the huge success of my first album “Huqa Pani”. It was the fulfillment of that dream that made me realize that we only dream what is real. Nothing exists that can only be imagined and not achieved one day. It’s all about working hard and putting the right things at the right time in their right place. For this we’re nurtured with the appetite of hope. But I learned that it’s not only about working hard and putting the right things at the right time in their right place. It’s about Faith. The moment you lose it, it loses you. Your dreams start looking unreal, too big for you. In the course of working day and night on the album traveling to different studios in different countries working with all sorts of people, good and bad, nasty and nice, liars and honest ones, I sometimes almost dropped in disappointment and fatigue thinking to myself that it’s not worth it. But what kept me going was faith. Faith in God. This album is about that and the realization of our dreams that follows. If my music helps one single soul to accomplish his dream, my job is done. Love to all." - Ali Zafar

Jab Say Dekha
Ali Zafar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jab Se Dekha Tujh Ko
Yun Laga Hain Mujh Ko
Zindagi Mein Tumse Pehle Kuch Bhi Na Tha
Jo Bhi Kehe Zamana
Apna Yehi Fasana
Teri Pyar Ki Thandi Aang Mein Jalte Jana
Tumse Milne Ko Dil Taras Ta Hai, Man Bharak Ta Hai,
Sunlo Jo Hum Ne Hai Batana...

Meri Aankho Se Tumjo Dekhoge Tohi Janoge Tum Kya Ho Mere Liye
Dard Ko Pehchano, Sunti Ho To Mano Mere Liye Tum Ho Sara Jahaaa.
Hoo Oo Hee Ee Hhmm
Zindagi Ke Aage Apni Chali Kaha Hai
Kya Hai Yeh Bolo Kaise Karu Bayaan
Par Yeh Janu Main To Tere Bin Jag Sara
Mujh Ko Lage Jaise Suna Suna Yaha
Teri Saanso Se Yeh Dil Dhadak Ta Hai
Tera Man Dheere Se Baate Mujh Se Kare

Meri Aankho Se Tumjo Dekhoge Tohi Janoge Tum Kya Ho Mere Liye
Meri Yedhun Ko Jano Tumhi Tumho Mano Mere Liye Tumho Sara Jahaaa...
