Mumbai, Oct 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) Director Milan Luthria has marked his debut as lyricist for the beautiful song titled 'Saaqiya' for the series 'Sultan Of Delhi', penning down the most surreal lyrics that give the song meaning and significance in the story.

Oozing the 60s charm, the makers of 'Sultan Of Delhi' have launched the perfect combination of a romantic qawwali, with its latest soulful track, 'Saaqiya'.

Presented by Zee Music, sung by versatile Javed Ali and music composed by the talented Sangeet and Siddharth Haldipur, 'Saaqiya' is surely going to strike a chord with your hearts.

"It’s my lyrical debut and a small tribute to the world of timeless Sufi music which I love. Collaborating with Sangeet Siddharth and Javed Ali was an impeccable experience and I don’t think anyone other than Javed could have given the song what it deserves," shared the director of 'Kachche Dhaage'.

"He was good enough to record the song twice on my insistence, and the second time he slammed it out of the park. I am grateful to Disney+ Hotstar and Zee Music for putting their faith in me," he added.
