Ali Zafar, a highly talented Pakistani artist renowned for his skills as a singer, actor, model, producer, screenwriter, and painter, has made a significant impact in both Lollywood and Bollywood, earning a large and devoted fan base.
Recently, Ali Zafar took to Instagram to share a heartfelt reflection on his journey in the entertainment industry. In the caption, he expressed his lack of desire to celebrate his birthday due to the current circumstances in the country, apologizing for not being able to respond to messages. He acknowledged the depth of his sorrow, recognizing that mere words could not adequately convey his emotions.
To channel his pain, Zafar decided to create a new rendition of his song “Chal Dil Mere,” which was originally released in 2003 as part of his debut album, “Huqa Pani.” Along with the emotionally charged rendition, he added an additional verse.
This year holds special significance as it marks 20 years of his musical journey. In light of this milestone, he resolved to share cherished moments from his personal and professional life with his fans and followers. He emphasized the importance of embracing life to the fullest, urging others not to waste it in fear, doubt, or excessive concern about the opinions of others. He encouraged everyone to choose love and pursue their own dreams and desires. Quoting Pablo Picasso, he stated that the meaning of life is to discover one’s gift, and the purpose of life is to share it with others.
“This was the first time that I didn’t feel like celebrating my birthday due to the circumstances in the country so I am sorry I couldn’t respond much.Too much to say, but words can never express the depths of a heart that weeps. So, I decided to put my pain into this new rendition of my song “Chal Dil Mere” that released in 2003 on my first album “Huqa Pani”. ???? and yes, have also added a verse 🙂 This year also marks 20 years of my musical journey, so I’ve decided to share some precious moments from my professional and personal life. Remember, life passes by quickly. Don’t waste it in fear and doubt or care much about what others say. Choose love and follow your own heart and dreams. ❤️
As Pablo Picasso said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
Chal Dil mere
Chor ye phere
Ye Dunya Jhooti
Log Lutere
– Come, my heart, release the endless chase,
This world deceives, looters in every space
Dolat pujaari
Husn Byopaari
Vaadon ke kache
Hawas hawaaari
-Wealth is worshipped, beauty for sale,
Promises shattered, greed shall prevail.
Apni kahani
Ro ro sunaani
Hum se na ho gi
Aisi nadaani
-I won’t narrate my story with tears,
No foolishness, no irrational fears.
Kash lagaana
Ghont charhaana
Is tarha pyaare
Waqt gava na
-Smoking up,
Drinking down,
In this way, my dear,
Waste no time.”
In a short period of time, the post received hundreds of likes, with some followers expressing their love and admiration and others agreeing with him.
Zafar is currently putting the finishing touches to Husn, an album of the Sufi genre.
