Mumbai, February 16: In the world of Hindi cinema music, the name Shabbir Kumar is synonymous with melody and nostalgia. Today, producer-director Ejaz Ahmed recorded the song ‘Aisa Apna Yaarana’ in the legendary singer’s voice at Alka Yagnik’s recording studio. Shabbir Kumar, known for lending his voice to blockbuster films like Coolie, Betaab, Teri Meherbaniyan, Pyar Jhukta Nahi, and Mard, brings his signature charm to this new song.
Penned by lyricist Ahmed Siddiqui, with music composed by Deen Mohammad, ‘Aisa Apna Yaarana’ is a musical treat for fans. Speaking about the song, Ejaz Ahmed shared, “After a long time, a song celebrating friendship is coming to the industry. Shabbir Kumar has sung it beautifully, alongside Dr. Fahim, making it a soulful duet. The song will soon be shot and released.”
The song will be launched on the 7 Heaven Music channel. Expressing his excitement, Shabbir Kumar said, “Friendship songs have become rare in today’s cinema. In the past, many iconic songs on friendship were featured in films like ‘Yaarana.’ When Ejaz Ahmed approached me for this song, I was thrilled. It carries a heartfelt message about friendship, and I believe listeners will feel a deep connection to it.”
Shabbir Kumar, often regarded as the voice of legendary singer Mohammed Rafi, had his breakthrough when he was chosen to sing for Coolie after Rafi Sahab’s passing.

Since then, Shabbir Kumar has been the voice behind numerous Amitabh Bachchan hits, solidifying his place in Bollywood’s musical legacy.
