<… Read Full Bio ↴Ghulam Ali (born 5 December 1940) is a famous Pakistani ghazal singer.
Ali was born in the village of Kaleke, Sialkot, Pakistan in 1940. He belonged to a musical family, his father was a classical singer and sarangi player who trained him to successfully use, interpret and improvise on vocal tone and modality. At the age of 15, Ghulam Ali became a disciple of the legendary classical singer Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, who was a master of the Patiala Gharana to which Ghulam Ali also belongs. His training was provided mainly by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's three brothers: Barqat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan, and Amanat Ali Khan, in Lahore. All these great teachers of classical music taught him the finer details of classical music and his solid foundation of classical music included him studying Thumri and learning to sing raagas. He started singing for Radio Lahore in 1960. Ghulam Ali's father named him "Ghulam Ali" after Bade Ghulam Ali.
Along with singing ghazals, Ghulam Ali composes music for his ghazals too. His compositions are raaga-based and sometimes include a scientific mixture of raagas. A raaga is a scientific, precise, subtle and aesthetic melodic form with its own peculiar ascending and descending movement consisting of either a full seven note octave, or a series of six or five notes (or a combination of any of these) in a rising or falling structure called the Arohana and Avarohana. He is known for blending gharana-gaayaki into ghazal and this gives his singing the capability to touch hearts. He beautifully sings Punjabi geets too. Most of his punjabi geets have been extremely popular. Though from Pakistan, Ghulam Ali remains as popular in India as in Pakistan. On being questioned about Pakistani pop groups, Ghulam Ali replied, "frankly I am really bewildered at their style of singing. How can you sing a song by running and jumping around the stage? The stage is meant for performing not for acrobatics."
Hangama Hai Kyon Barpa
Ghulam Ali Lyrics

DAAKA TO NAHI DAALA CHORI TO NAHI KI HAI
US MAI SE NAHI MATLAB DIL JIS SE HO BEGANA
MAQSOOD HAI US MAI SE DIL HI MEIN JO KHICHTEE HAI
SOORUJ MEIN LAGAY DHABBA FITARAT KE KARISHMAY HAIN
BOOT HUM KO KAHEIN KAAFIR ALLAH KI MARZI HAI
NA TAJRUBA KAARI SE WAAIZ KI YEH BAATEIN HAIN
IS RANG KO KYA JAANE POOCHHO TO KABHI PEE HAI
HAR ZARRA CHAMAKTA HAI ANWAAR-E-ILAAHI SE
HAR SAANS YEH KAHTEE HAI HUM HAIN TO KHUDA BHI HAI
The song "Hangama Hai Kyon Barpa" by Ghulam Ali is a soulful and poetic expression of the complex nuances of love and faith. The lyrics explore the existential questions of human existence, the struggle to understand the divine, and the role of love in life. The song opens with "Hungama hai kyun itna, thodi si jo pee li hai" which translates to "Why is there so much commotion, when we've only had a little to drink." This line is a metaphor for the intensity and drama that love can bring into life, even when it may be small or insignificant.
The song then delves into the idea that one's heart may be drawn to someone who is not reciprocating that love, and how this can cause turmoil within oneself. The line "Us mai se nahi matlab dil jis se ho begana, maqsood hai us mai se dil hi mein jo khichte hai" translates to "One's heart is not concerned with the one who is indifferent, what matters is the heart's desire." This highlights the power of love to motivate and drive one towards something that may be unattainable, and how this can cause pain and suffering.
The song then shifts to a more spiritual and philosophical tone, exploring the idea of fate and the divine will. The line "Boot hum ko kahein kaafir Allah ki marzi hai" translates to "Idols say to us 'Infidels, it's Allah's will'." This highlights the complex relationship between faith and fate, and how different people interpret and understand the workings of the divine differently. The song ends on a note of transcendence and unity, with the line "Har zarra chamakta hai, anwaar-e-ilahi se, har saans yeh kahtee hai hum hain to khuda bhi hai" which translates to "Every particle sparkles with the radiance of the divine, every breath whispers 'if we exist, then God exists too'." This line implies that all of existence is interconnected and infused with divinity, and that humans have the ability to recognize and connect with this greater unity.
