Sama music recreates the aura of the Khanaqah of a Sufi saint and inducts the listener through a booklet which contains translation of the verses sung in the album laid out in a graphically spiritual way. Sama takes pains to impart the adab of the music to the young modern mind.

The Universe of Urdu Ghazal is immense. It ranges from young passionate love to the love of surrender and submission, its vastness includes the poetry of protest and revolution; also the wail of disillusionment….it has been the poetry of surrender that captures human attention more than any other genre of poetic expression.

When the voice and the melody surges with spiritual longing the effect is more fiery, more stirring. In this day and age in today’s hurly burly of managing the strident, commerce of life, this inspiration has dwindled. No one roams our earth with that burning passion, zeal, inspiration : No Kabirs, no Khusrau, no Meeras, no Rumis, no Bulleh Shahs are amid us today and thus we have no choice but to knock at the doors of ageless mystics to quench our spiritual thirst…

Muzaffar Ali, a painter and filmmaker, deeply inspired by Sufism has developed a discerning eye and vision for aesthetics and humanity. He has established Jahan e Khusrau an in depth admiration for his creativity all over the world and follows his creative pursuits without compromise in music, fashion, craft and design. He has been adorned by the President of India, the prestigious Padam Shri Award for his overall creative way of life.

Muzaffar Ali has been pursuing his mission to promote national integration and world peace through Sufi Music, festival and films. He established Jahan e khusrau, an international annual festival of Sufi Music as a gathering of peace dedicated to Amir Khusrau which has since become a compulsion for every year’s performance and is considered one of the prime festivals of Sufism both at national and as well as international levels. Sufi music attains the heights of success as renowned national and international artists perform their best under his guidance.

Sama Sufi Music’s mission is to bring hearts closer using verses of Sufi mystics from different parts of India and the world, through voices that touch the soul. The lyrics are selected, composed and translated in English by Muzaffar Ali for the wildest possible reach.
