Singer Asif Akbar, widely known as the ‘Juboraj’ of Bangla music, has recorded a new romantic song written and composed by lyricist and composer Mahbubul Khalid.
Titled ‘Sakhi Tui Ki Tel Makish Chule’, the song captures the fascination of a lover with the beauty of his beloved, using colourful folk expressions to convey romance and admiration.
The song’s music video will be released soon on the Khalid Sangeet YouTube channel and Facebook page. The audio version is already available on the song’s official website.
Mahbubul Khalid regularly creates music and literary works, with his songs released through his website and under the Khalid Sangeet banner on YouTube, Facebook and other social media platforms.
More than 500 of his songs have been released, featuring popular singers from different generations of Bangladesh’s music industry.
His work spans themes beyond love and romance, often addressing social injustice, humanitarian crises and widely discussed events.
He wrote ‘Aduri’ about a child domestic worker who suffered abuse in Mirpur, Dhaka, and ‘Felanire Korlo Guli’ about the killing of Felani Khatun at the Bangladesh-India border.
His song ‘Magurar Phul’ drew attention to the abuse of child Achiya in Magura, raising questions about social conscience and humanity. More recently, he wrote ‘Ramisar Bichar’, addressing another widely discussed case.
Khalid has also written songs about international humanitarian crises, including the situations in Palestine and among Rohingya refugees.
Through these works, he seeks to convey messages of humanity, protest and social awareness.
With Asif Akbar’s voice, ‘Sakhi Tui Ki Tel Makish Chule’ adds a romantic dimension to Khalid’s diverse body of songwriting.
