Sehra by Taslim Fazli - Main Jo Shayar Kabhi Hota

These are a truly special moments from Musab's wedding, featuring a timeless piece of poetry originally written by Taslim Fazli, a celebrated Pakistani poet born in Delhi around the time of the 1947 partition. His journey from Karachi to Lahore led him to collaborate with the legendary Naushad, where he penned numerous songs for the Pakistani film industry. 

The poem featured in this video, from the 1974 film Bahisht, captures the essence of love and good wishes that are typically part of a Sehra. In this video, Ustad Ameer Ali Khan's beautiful 2016 rendition of the song perfectly complements the occasion. His signature soft style makes this performance not just a tribute to the original composition, infused with verses of duas, but also a heartfelt dedication to Musab and begum on their special day.
