India’s most beloved singer Lucky Ali’s unplugged version of O Sanam is the best thing on internet today. Strumming a guitar and crooning ‘O Sanam’ in his melodious voice, Lucky’s latest video went viral on social media. The song was initially released in 1996.
In the video, Ali is seen sitting with a guitar and looking dapper in a black jacket, a pair of trousers and a white skull cap. Though Khan shared the video on November 6, it only went viral recently and we can’t help but feel sorry for not treating ourselves to it earlier.
Midway into the video, Ali can be seen singing, “Nazron se ab na humko giraana, mar bhi gaye (do not let our image drop in your eyes, even after we die)” and trailing off as he turns emotional. While Khan encouraged him with a “wow”, this was hands-down, an overwhelming moment for all the fans and we can’t even.
Soon enough, the Internet was on frenzy as fans emptied their stash of love in the comments section. Even Twitter could not keep calm as netizens trended the video viral.

I cried! The way he paused after 'mar bhi gaye…' there's a lump in my throat that won't go away anyone soon. https://t.co/KMUVKrmVoc— Priyanshi (@PickledYanshy) November 14, 2020

While one Twitterati wrote, “Here is a man who remained true to his art and at 62 he is still pure gold. #luckyali (sic)”, another shared, “Oh man! This was a rage in our youth. And frankly the first breakthrough indie-pop album. Bless you #LuckyAli (sic)” and yet another tweeted, “Childhood. Childhood. Childhood. May you stay well and may that smile stay, Inshallah #luckyali. Your fan forever (sic).”
Watch the video here:
There is no road trip or travel in general which is complete without Lucky Ali’s songs blaring on the stereo and we wish we could show the singer, the indelible mark he has left on our hearts and that will continue to be the case for generations to come.
