With ‘Saazish’, Moosa Saleem, Arslan Nizami, Zeyneb explore the bittersweet surrender of love

Mumbai,10^th December 2025: Acclaimed music producer/songwriter Moosa Saleem, in collaboration with vocalist Arslan Nizami and the evocative voice of Zeyneb, is set to captivate audiences with their soul-stirring new single, “Saazish,” releasing today. This profound musical narrative is a delicate yet powerful exploration of love so deep it feels divine, interwoven with the quiet ache of unrequited devotion.

“Saazish” captures the breathtaking beauty and poignant pain of a love that transcends the ordinary. At its core, it’s a musical exploration of unwavering devotion and the bittersweet truth of non-reciprocity. Wrapped in exquisitely poetic lyrics in Hindi and infused with the rich emotion of Darija (Moroccan Arabic), the song speaks of a devotion so profound it lives in the blood and possesses the power to heal every wound. Yet, beneath this tender adoration lies a haunting realization – the love held so closely was never truly mutual. The track’s meticulous production creates an atmosphere that is both ethereal and grounded, allowing the intricate vocal performances to shine and making it an immersive emotional experience.

Speaking about the release, Moosa Saleem said, “Creating ‘Saazish’ was a deeply emotional process. The aim was to build a soundscape that could hold the immense weight of both divine love and quiet heartbreak. We wanted the music to feel almost like a whispered secret, supporting the lyrical vulnerability without overpowering it. Bringing together Arslan’s expressive vocals and Zeyneb’s poignant Darija additions wasn’t just about a linguistic blend; it was about connecting different cultural expressions of this universal human experience. I believe the blend enhances the ache, making the feeling of ‘Saajna main vaari…’ resonate globally.”

Arslan Nizami added, “From the first time I heard the concept of ‘Saazish,’ I felt a profound connection to its poetic narrative. The lyrics speak of a love so consuming, a devotion that’s almost spiritual, yet it carries the bittersweet sting of knowing it’s not fully returned. My focus was to convey that raw vulnerability and longing through my vocals, to make every line a heartfelt confession. It’s about that moment when you surrender completely, even as your heart is breaking. This song resonates with anyone who has loved deeply, perhaps too deeply, and found beauty even in that profound surrender.”

Talking about the song Zeyneb said, “Adding the Darija verses to ‘Saazish’ felt incredibly vital to the story. My lines speak of initial, hopeful surrender and the dream of a life intertwined. It’s the contrast between this hopeful beginning and the eventual heartbreak that makes ‘Saazish’ so powerful, beautifully fusing cultures to tell a universal story of love and letting go.”

With “Saazish,” Moosa Saleem further solidifies his reputation for genre-spanning versatility and evocative production. The collaboration with Arslan Nizami, known for his ability to infuse traditional sounds into modern compositions, and the unique cultural and vocal contribution of Zeyneb, elevate the track, showcasing a powerful synergy that transcends musical and linguistic boundaries. This release marks another significant step in defining their unmistakable artistic voices.
