Usama Ali (Aur)

Usama Ali is a contemporary Urdu lyricist, singer, and songwriter from Karachi, Pakistan. He is best known as a founding member of the music group Aur, which he created with Ahad Khan and Raffey Anwar in 2020.

From the beginning, Usama focused on writing lyrics that carry strong poetic value. His style combines simplicity with emotional depth, giving modern music a touch of traditional Urdu expression. Along with Ahad, he started by creating small compositions and short verses that reflected everyday feelings of love, loss, and resilience.

Aur rose to fame with the hit song Tu Hai Kahan, written and performed by the group. The song became widely popular in South Asia and later gained global recognition when international artist Zayn Malik collaborated on a special version in 2024. Usama’s lyrics played a central role in shaping the song’s appeal, bringing Urdu poetry to a new generation of listeners.

Although detailed personal information about him is not publicly available, Usama Ali is recognised today for his contribution to Urdu music and his ability to merge lyrical poetry with contemporary sound. His work with Aur continues to promote Urdu as a language of both modern expression and timeless emotion.
