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
Thehree Si Zindagi
Ali Zafar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O thehri si sehmi si hai zindagi udne do
Behti nadi se thodi si nami chun.ne do
Khamosi sun.ne do
Khwabon ko bun.ne do
Hatheliyon pe likhi daastan badalne do
Ho ho ho oo ho...
Dheemi si sargoshi
Sun sako tto suno dil ki taar
Yunhi milte raho baar baar
Ho kaisi seher hai ye kaisa asar hai bata
Bin jaane bin bole humko sabhi hai pata
Thoda sa dard hai
Saans bhi sard hai
Par tera aashiyaan mill gaya
Chahiye kya!
Ho ho ho oo ho...
Simti-simti saundhi si hai dopahar
Bechainiyon mein doobi si hai ye leher
Chahiye chashni par hai koi kami
Ho sakoon jis jagah paya hai tumhe wahaan
Ho ho ho oo ho...
Baahon mein leke tumhe kuch na kuch bol de
Chahat ki nadiya mein chandi ka rath khol de
Aao naa saath do, mujhko parwaaz do
Koi meethi si kaano mein aawaaz do
Ho ho ho oow ho....

Life is timid and hesitant, let it fly freely
Behti nadi se thodi si nami chun.ne do
Select a little bit of moisture from the flowing river
Khamosi sun.ne do

Sun sako tto suno dil ki taar
If possible, hear the strings of the heart
Yunhi milte raho baar baar
Keep meeting like this often
Ho kaisi seher hai ye kaisa asar hai bata
Tell me what kind of magic has been cast upon this city
Bin jaane bin bole humko sabhi hai pata
Everyone knows what we don't say or know
Thoda sa dard hai
There's a little bit of pain
Saans bhi sard hai
The breaths are also cold
Par tera aashiyaan mill gaya
But I have found my abode with you
Chahiye kya!
What else do I need!
Simti-simti saundhi si hai dopahar
The afternoon is slumberous and fragrant
Bechainiyon mein doobi si hai ye leher
This wave is drowned in restlessness
Chahiye chashni par hai koi kami
There is a lack of sweetness, though enough sugar is there
Ho sakoon jis jagah paya hai tumhe wahaan
Where I found you, there is peace
Baahon mein leke tumhe kuch na kuch bol de
Taking you in my arms, I'll say something or the other
Chahat ki nadiya mein chandi ka rath khol de
Let's open a silver chariot in the river of love
Aao naa saath do, mujhko parwaaz do
Come, fly with me and support me
Koi meethi si kaano mein aawaaz do
Give me a sweet voice in my ears

So so underrated.
So many years and I can't get over this song.
And gosh! Aditi's voice is so soothing.❤
@RyuRaza
Tehreem shaikh To be honest, people listen to trash these days, especially the younger generation.
Ali Zafar is also underrated and it really sucks. The guy is seriously talented with a lot of range and versatility.
Listen to the following Ali Zafar songs from Coke Studio to see his range:
- Ae Dil ( featuring Sara Haider )
- Rockstar
- Julie
- Yo Soch
