Ali Zafar inspired by Mirza Galib

Ali Zafar takes on a Mirza Galib poem in his latest video "'Jee Dhoondta Hai' 

Talent house Ali Zafar is soon to release the video of ''Jee Dhoondta Hai" a song featuring Mirza Ghalib's poetry from his latest hit album Jhoom.

The acclaimed poet's piece believed to be written for a courtesan will feature Ali Zafar in the video directed by Abdullah Haris. The six-and-a-half minute long video was shot in two days. "It shows the self-discovery of a man, his love and then his struggle, only to be involved in a spiritual journey, in the end," says Haris
Sharing more details of the project, Zafar informs, "'Jee Dhoondta Hai' was the last song I added in Jhoom. I recorded it three years ago. Before finishing the album, I felt that a song like this was missing. I had already sung a poem from Mirza Ghalib in the album Koi Umeed Bar Nahin Aatee and I after that I felt that who could get enough of the great maestro? So I added 'Jee Dhoondta Hai' in the last few days before finalising the record."

As per a recent market survey Ali Zafar 's third album titled "Jhoom" released by Alif records, Ali's own record label is the highest selling album in Pakistan and if that wasn't all Jhoom also ranked second in popularity on Indian charts.
