The Dream Journey - Discovering musicians across Pakistan (A Non Profit Project)
A film about an exhilarating eight day journey of five friends with a shared passion for discovering and recording musicians in their living environments across Pakistan.
The six sessions of vocal music recorded and filmed cover several musical forms in the Indo Pakistani tradition; Thumri, Kaafi, Ghazal, Qawwali and Khyaal. The kalaams that the musicians drew from ranged the whole spectrum of great poets: Khusrau, Jalal ud din Rumi, Kabir, Baba Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah, Iqbal, Faiz and numerous mystic poets of India and Pakistan. The performances evoked memories of the verdant lushness of the Punjab, the haunting mysticism of the Great Rajputana and Sind Deserts, the vibrancy of Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Delhi, the great aura of Ajmer, the majestic beauty of the Indo-Gangetic plain.
Some of the musicians are established and famous, others are amongst the brilliant budding talent that adorns Pakistan’s musical scene. Each of the mehfils has a distinct atmosphere and mood, but there is a common thread. We asked each of the musicians to stay close to their respective inherited musical traditions, allowing the singers an opportunity to present some pieces that are rarely heard today.
We are inspired to present the brilliance of this contemporary Pakistani vocal music to a wider audience and seek your financial assistance in making this possible.

Lajawaab, thanks a lot. When Sayyan sahib and SS77 JI like an item it has to be a real masterpiece. Made me feel nostalgic remembering the times when I was middle-aged and young Amir sahib would sing along-with his masterly & incomparable father Late ustad Rafiq sahib. The Dream Journey is doing a wonderful job for which they cannot be thanked enough. Please keep Up this priceless work for posterity Would like to attend some of their sessions when these are held in or near Lahore. In this regard help is requested from Mr. Arif Ali Khan, Ustad Amir Khan, Sayyan Qamar ji, and SS77 Sahib. It would be nice if all of us could attend together.

[@TheDreamJourney]

Tanwir saheb aap ka shukriya. acha mehsoos huwa ke aap ko pasand aya. maafi chahta hun ke itne roz baad aap ka comment poora pardha. hosla afzai ka bayhad shukriya

[@nrohilla]

Same. It reminded me of young adult ustadji in a session with ustad Rafiq sahib on KZbin. Looking at that young kid in this version made me beyond happy. His innocence and energy is palpable. I hope he carries on the legacy.

No need for decorated stage, lightings etc .This is music at its creative best

[@amjadzahid]

How nostalgic!!! I'm an early bird subscribing this channel. back in 2016, I was an internee in a company and had been having talks with Arif sb for his initiative. They produced a masterpiece "Saanchi kaho mose batian" by Ustad Ameer Ali khan. must listen. Later came to know sad demise of Ustad Ameer Ali Khan. :( Now in 2024, recalling those memories. Hats off @dreamJourney. Keep shining

[@fannafiallah]

Exceptional ! We've all listened to his fathers rendition in awe. Deep gratitude for recording and sharing !

[@arifkhan100]

Rafiq sb was an exceptional master indeed. Glad you enjoyed this Tahir.

[@aavlogs263]

Arif Ali Khan sir khan sb ka number off jareha hy main depalpur aya hun. socha un sey mulaqat hojaaye. plz have u his another active number?

[@arifkhan100]

[@aavlogs263]

[@MrRohitmishr]

One of the finest qawwals has left us for heavenly abode in May, 2020. He was a ruby lying in the dust. May God give him his dream journey! Thank you Dream Journey for introducing me to his singing.

[@usmanrasheedvision]

یہ سلسلہ ڈریم جرنی کی ٹیم کی طرف سے انڈیا اور پاکستان کے کروڑوں موسیقی کو سننے سمجھنے اور پیار کرنے والے لوگوں کے لیے ایک تحفہ ہے۔۔۔ایسا تحفہ جس میں ہزاروں خزانے ہیں۔۔

[@ambikaprasadshukla9220]

Qatilana , smiling style of singing ! ! Wonderful. Such Funkar only and only once take birth in this universe like U A A k .

[@fannafiallah]

Subahaan Allah This is my favourite recording from tour wonderful dream journey offering. It's also a thoughtful addition to have English subtitles, yet I'm not sure how much westerners would relate to the metaphors.

[@TheDreamJourney]

Thank you Tahir. More than Westerners the translation is useful for other regional Pakistanis who only understand part of it. Also useful for the younger diaspora.

[@eus8964]

The Dream Journey And also for Nepalis like myself and other people from the subcontinent who can halfway understand the languages but the translations provide a lot of depth and mithaas. Really appreciate the work you guys put in. 😇 God bless and hopefully Ustad Khan ji’s soul finds peace.

[@muhammeddaryan6466]

These metaphors are comparable and sometimes intelligible within a wider Islamic tradition of poetry writing, these translations are a miraculous gift for those like myself who don’t know south Asian languages (from Iran-Iraq region) again jazakullah dream journey and all the work you have done.

[@tanveerbhat3971]

Still can't believe Ustad isn't among us anymore What a masterpiece this is and the way Ustad presents it is impeccable. Pure Magic from start to end.

[@kanchansharma2608]

tears rolling down my eyes and remembering Ustaad ji

[@deeptipandey529]

Happy to listen this masterpiece by Ustad Ameer Ali Khan Qawwal and team. He is pioneer in this skill.

[@imabzeous]

I still remember telling khan sahab that i loved this abdul hameed adam verse " dunia tery wajood ko karti rahi talash... Hum nay tery khayal ko yazdaan bana lia " and he remembered it

[@cid007]

Wow.. Exceptional.. Taal is totally different . Never heard this taal before in gazal/quawali.

[@rangilaosman4838]

The bliss Ustad experienced while singing is divine, the hallmark of a truly versatile artist. Team Dream Journey I envy your good fortune for having had the privilege of not only meeting Ustad but also for having seen his performances live. Nevertheless, thanks for having introduced us to this precious gem from the musical universe. May Allah bless you all. Finally, don't know how to pay my tributes to Ustad for having regaled us with his lyrical performances. Suffice to say that I am sure Allah will give him an exalted status in paradise for preaching Divine Love through his music.

[@ambikaprasadshukla9220]

Khudara Zara apnni nazro ko roke , mere Dil ki Dunia lootee ja rahi hai ! ! Wah .May you bestowed Jannat by that Almighty.

[@jagdishjaswal7225]

Masha allah that singing is really bliss to ears and that aada of ustaad ji while singing is really killing me

[@Aman-et3rq]

Ustad sahab should come to India, we all are eagerly waiting for his live performance here 😍😍

[@syedarifali8638]

Here is died after 2 years.JazzakAllah.

[@sandeepchauhan8824]

enchanting but a side thought when we see the video and guess about the worldly things about Khan Sahib while looking at the wall behind I feel the importance of reviewing the policy of GOI not to permit such musicians to perform in India because this music is not a heritage only Pakistan but north and west part of this continent we in India have equal claim on being a fan and love and being enchanted. Once again I can only say to Dream Journey Thanks Shukriya Dhanyavad me aapne jo hum tak pahunchaya hai uske liye ye sabhi words bahut hi nakafi hain.

[@rajeshmoremaths.337]

what a pleasant rag Kedar ustadji salam

[@neelakshirai9556]

A beautiful rendition..love the way Raag Kedar blooms during the rendition...a masterpiece..wish I could hv an opportunity to choreograph on his renditions

[@muneebilyas3496]

I wish I could talk to Khan Sahab and ask how he sees the world. What's his perception of the point in living is. How he dives into the ocean of esctasy and how it feels after every Sur of perfection he produces. His voice is so sweet that it kills the heartache but still produces some. درد انمول شے ہے کسی کے، مجھکو صدقے میں آیا ہوا ہے۔ Thank you dream journey for making my day.

[@waqastro124]

Thankyou Dream Journey for brining this gem to us!

[@PrithwishRoychowdhury]

We should all praise the Tabla player.. Woww....

[@SuperEvo1990]

he is nearly matching with nusrat level. man i just thought i should give this try and i'm now in love with the lines and the music

[@AliTKhan]

He is trained with nusrat sahab father!

[@jawadahmed3447]

Astagfirullah

[@usmanabdulbasit3696]

Not agreed.. Ustad Nusrat was legendary... No one can match...

[@playnation4125]

listen to original version in which Hes singing with his father.... that one version is exceptional!

[@bapbap22]

I actually think he’s better. I prefer his tenderness over NFAK’s robust style.

[@suresh5308]

Even when I hear this 100th time , I cannot admire enough. Love

[@hussaineh89]

Rafiq Hussain Barkat Ali Amir Ali ka rooh iss qawwal mein tham gaya, jaise bass gayi unki purkhon ke dua se, unhi ki hunar aur seekh

[@manishnepal89]

every time i watch, it seems more beautiful and pleasing than before. exceptionally good!

[@abhinav6685]

Very beautiful 🙏💐 never seen this before

[@rohankalia4012]

The Dream Journey, I can't thank you enough for the priceless gift of beauty you've given us, which I would have probably never known existed if you'd not shared these recorded sessions with us.

[@xnbs7]

Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah

[@Raj_Sharma_Clovis]

If you like Sufi music then you couldn't have missed Ustaad Ameer Ali Khan...unmatched talent with soulful singing...I have been listening to him for almost a year now...thanks to "The Dream Journey" Channel on KZbin...May his Soul Rest in Peace 🙏

[@kashifnine]

I am deeply saddened about the gem which we found already lost life. Thanks Dream Journey for Capturing Precious moments of Ustad Ameer Ali. May Allah bless his soul. Aamin

[@tamoorali2272]

سرخ آنکھوں میں کاجل کے ڈورے، رخ پے آنچل سجایا ہوا ہے یہ بتاؤ کس کے قتل کا تو نے ساماں بنایا ہوا ہے تیری آنکھوں کی قاتل ادائیں، کیا عجب رنگ ڈایا ہوا ہے ہر کوئی دل کا نظرانہ لے کر تیرے قدموں میں آیا ہوا ہے جب نشیمن جلانے کو آئی میں نے بجلی پریشان پائی کیونکہ آپ ہی جو اپنا نشیمن میں نے پہلے جلایا ہوا ہے درد غم ہے مجھ کو ہے اتنا پیارا اس سے بڑھ کر نہیں کچھ گوارا درد انمول شے ہے کسی کے مجھ کو صدقے میں آیا ہوا ہے
