Interpretation or manifestation of dreams) is the debut solo studio album by Pakistani classical and pop singer, songwriter, and composer Shafqat Amanat Ali, released in India on September 9, 2008[1][2] by the Music Today label.
Based on traditional folk and Sufi works, his first solo album Tabeer was commissioned and released in India in September 2008 by the Music Today label.
Rolling Stone (India) characterized Tabeer as having "compellingly softer tones,"[18] which was a marked departure from Ali's previous work with Fuzön in Saagar.
[20] Ali has mentioned that he ended up excluding some of the songs he originally wrote and composed for Tabeer because they were thematically "very dark"[8] and he did not deem them commercially viable at the time.
[8][15][22] "Khaireyan De Naal" was the lead single and opening track on Tabeer[23] and was used heavily to promote the album across music channels in both India and Pakistan.
[39] In 2009, Ali delivered a live performance of "Ajab Khail" — a modified rendition of "Kartar" — for Season 2 of Coke Studio Pakistan, produced by Rohail Hyatt.
[40] "Kartar" is particularly noted for its rock riffs[14] and high-octane orchestration,[11][15] and it was featured again as a bonus track in Ali's second solo album, Kyun Dooriyan (2010), with a slightly different arrangement.
