Waise Rahat Fateh Ali Khan aksar bade bainaron ki filmon men apani aavaaz ka jaadu bikherte rahe hain. par is chhote bajat ki film ka ye geet unhonne isake hridaya ko chhoone vaale bolon aur behatareen dhun ko dekhakar hi chuna hoga. vaise to rahat ne is saal kuch jyada charchit filmon ke bhi nagme gaaye hain par un sabako sunane ke baad mujhe ye unake dvara sangeetapremiyon ki di hui is saal ki sabse behatareen saugat lagi. ye geet hai man baavara... jise likha Shahab Allahabadi ne aur is geet ki dhun banaai afsaar saazid ki yugal jodi ne.
Geet ke mood ke anuroop geet ke parshva men baansuri aur table ka prayog man ko sohta hai. rahat ki aavaaz ka dard, shastriya gaayiki par unki pakad, shahab ke arthapoorn bolon ko sidhe man ke bheetar le ja kar chhodate hain.

man baavara tujhe dhoondhata
paane ki khone ki paimaishen1
jeene ki saari meri khavahishen
aasamaan ye zahan, sab lage thahara
man baavara tujhe dhoondhata
1.naap jokh,
badagumaan tha nadan ye dil
dhadakega na kabhi
hosh kho baitha hai pagal
roothi hai zaindagi
khud se baaten kar karake hansna
bheed men bhi tanaha sa lagana
baj rahi hain jalatarangen
saanson ke daramiyan
man baavara tujhe dhoondhata...
unsiyat2 ke khavab chunkar
katati raaten meri
ilataza e deed3 lekar
bhatke aankhen meri
meelon lanbe ye faasle hain
bas tassuvar4 ke silasile hain
ratajage gumasum pade hain
palakon pe rayagan5
2. prem, 3.jhalak, 4. khayal, 5.bekaar
man baavara tujhe dhoondhata ....
