Dr. Rashid Ali Khan

Dr. Rashid Ali Khan, known by his pen name Zaar, is the poetic soul behind Tasavvur – The Sufi Band. His words bring life and depth to the band’s music, weaving together stories of love, devotion, and inner reflection. His lyrical magic shines brightly in “Woh Aisi Mohabbat”, the song featured in NEXA Music Originals by A.R. Rahman, where every line carries emotion and meaning. Zaar’s poetry draws from his deep understanding of Urdu literature and Sufi philosophy — thoughts that remind us of love in its purest, most selfless form. Through Tasavvur, his words have reached hearts across audiences, inspiring a quiet sense of peace and togetherness. Dr. Rashid Ali Khan continues to write not just as a poet, but as a seeker — someone who finds the divine in words and the world in verses.
