Tumhe Dillagi
Tumhe Dillagi is a popular Urdu ghazal written by lyricist Purnam Allahabadi and composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Over the years it has been revived in several versions, each giving the song a new feel.
The original Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan version is a long ghazal (about 16 minutes). It appeared in the album Reformed, a 2013 remix project, with the full album released in March 2017.
Nusrat’s nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has recorded the song several times:
- A live MTV Unplugged performance in 2016 (season 5, episode 6) lasting about 12 minutes.
- A studio single tied to the Pakistani drama Dil Lagi, released on March 5, 2016, produced by Humayun Saeed; music by Sahir Ali Bagga.
- A music-video single released on June 8, 2016, featuring Huma Qureshi and Vidyut Jammwal. This version, under T-Series, runs about 6 minutes on video (5 minutes in audio) and was produced by Bhushan Kumar. The music is by Salim–Sulaiman, with lyrics by Purnam Allahabadi and Manoj Muntashir.
The composer duo Salim–Sulaiman also created a separate recreation of the song as a music video, with new lyrics by Manoj Muntashir.
The Pakistani drama Dil Lagi used Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s version as its original OST.
