Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have created this beautiful song which is a clarion call to God. The song starts in the voice of Shankar Mahadevan singing an alaap. Once the song main stanza begins, Adnan Sami takes over and the noor-e-khuda refrain continues in the song background and it gives harmony to the song. The best part is the second stanza when Shreya Ghoshal launches into the song, humming her way and another surprise is that the tune here is different and it adds more variety to the song. The orchestration throughout is top- notch with Saarangi, strings section etc. This is one of the best songs in the \u201cdevotional &#8221; genre. Listen to it and feel inspired! Special mention also to the wonderful lyrics by Niranjan Iyengar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song: Noor-E-Khuda Composer: Shankar-Ehasaan-Loy Singer(s): Adnan Sami, Shreya Ghoshal, Shankar Mahadevan Lyrics: Niranjan Iyengar Movie: My Name is Khan Songs based on devotional themes generally do not have very unique tunes or orchestration as there is not much creativity in this genre.
