Pakistani singer Ali Haider has returned to the music scene with his new song, Ijazat, marking his comeback after nearly a decade.
Released on Sunday, Ijazat quickly gained attention across social media platforms, trending on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Fans praised Haider’s signature voice, describing it as emotionally clear and reminiscent of 1990s Pakistani pop music. The song’s melody and restrained production also received widespread appreciation.
Sharing his excitement on social media, Ali Haider wrote, “Hello Doston, Ijazat song is here for you. We tried to give you the best sound. My team and I would be glad if you like this effort.”
The music video for Ijazat was shot and produced in Houston, Texas, reflecting Haider’s current residence in the United States. Viewers applauded the visuals and performances, calling it a carefully crafted return rather than a nostalgic throwback.
Ali Haider had previously spoken about his hiatus from the Pakistani music industry. In a podcast interview, he explained that security threats and extortion demands after 2010 made life increasingly unsafe for him and his family. He also revealed that his father had to close a printing business due to intimidation, while Haider himself received threatening calls. These challenges prompted him to explore spiritual pursuits, including Hamd, Naat, and other religious poetry.
Following his mother’s advice, he moved to the United States around 2013-2014 for safety. Now, with Ijazat, Ali Haider cautiously re-enters the music world, reconnecting with audiences in Pakistan and abroad.
Fans and critics alike have welcomed Ijazat, praising it as a strong, heartfelt return that shows Haider’s enduring talent and musical identity. The song is available on all major streaming platforms.
