The much-anticipated song “Jahan Kal Raat Ko Hum The” is out now (6th September 2025). Sung by the renowned young Sufi Qawwal Rais Anis Sabri, this song is the Urdu interpretation of the iconic Persian poem “Nami Danam” (written by Hazrat Amir Khusro). The song has been released on popular streaming platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Presented by the Sulaiman Khateeb Trust, the track is produced by Khaja Khateeb and composed and music by Jaspal Moni. The track is a beautiful rendition of a 13th-century classic, reimagined for a modern Urdu-Hindi speaking audience, and it has quickly become a talking point among music enthusiasts and spiritual seekers alike.
“The response to ‘Jahan Kal Raat Ko Hum The’ has been truly heartwarming,” says Rais Anis Sabri. “I’m thrilled to see how much love this song has received. Though this song was initially composed centuries ago, it still holds significance in the modern world. The song showcases the relation between guru and shishya. This was always my dream—to make this spiritual legacy accessible, and the early signs of its popularity suggest we are achieving that.”
Sulaiman Khateeb, the brilliant mind behind the Urdu adaptation, shared his excitement. “When I started to work on this translation, my goal was to keep the essence of the original verse alive while ensuring that it is comprehensible to contemporary listeners.”
“Jahan Kal Raat Ko Hum The” is more than just a song; it stands as a testament to the soulfulness of Sufi music and how it instantly strikes a chord with listeners across generations. It is a soothing track for the individuals who are yearning for soulful music.
“I am overwhelmed to see the response of the audience towards this song; the way it has touched the souls of so many listeners clearly shows that music has no boundaries and traverses all borders. It is rewarding and motivating; at the same time, it also instils a sense of satisfaction,” quoted Khaja Khateeb, the producer of the song.
Rais Anis Sabri has been singing since the age of four. Sabri is the son and disciple of Rais Sabri and belongs to a respected lineage of Qawwals. He is best known for his mastery of the traditional Chishti Rang style of Sufiana Qawwali. With performances that span from India to Johannesburg, Sabri has become a powerful torchbearer of the genre, known for his emotionally evocative and spiritually rich renditions.
The song continues to gain appreciation, showcasing the evergreen love for this musical form. With more musical pieces soon to be unveiled, Rais Anis Sabri is all excited to lure the audience with Sufi music.
