Singer Javed Ali's soulful Sufi performance wins hearts at Sahitya Aaj Tak 

Famed singer Javed Ali enthralled the audience gathered at Sahitya Aaj Tak 2018 with his masterful Sufi performance. Ali sang a kalaam in honour of Hazrat Ali. The audience joined in as they encouraged Javed Ali with their applause.

As he took the stage he crooned his hit number 'Jashn-e-Bahara' from the film Jodha Akbar after audience urged him. In a tribute to Amir Khusro, he sang the famous Kalma 'Phool Khile Bagiyan Mein'.

A rendition of Khwaja mere Khwaja added to the contemplative, spiritual mood of the session.

As a request was made to him to sing a romantic song, he respectfully said that the Sufiyana mahaul in the session should persist. He then sang another Sufi song which he said was very close to his heart.
