The song is known as "Sajjad-Ali Sinsym Fligh", and it has an experimental, jazzy, Sufi beat.

Critical acclaim
Musician A. R. Rahman has described Sajjad as the original crossover:
"From the realm of the classical, he metamorphosed into one of the brightest lights of Pakistani pop. Always striking the right note, and never missing a beat, even the most hardened purist has to give Sajjad his due. This man can breathe life in a Ghazal even as he puts the V back into verve. He is one of the few singers in Pakistan who seems a complete singer. As far as skill is concerned I feel nobody compares to Sajjad Ali. He is simply too good at everything he chooses to create." A.R. Rahman official website
Personal life
Sajjad married his uncle's daughter Naureen in 1990. They have four children; two sons and two daughters. He lives in Dubai Marina, United Arab Emirates with his family, where he has been based for many years.
