Couldn't resist listening to the songs in full on Youtube.  I'm going 
to wait to listen to these songs on CD before fully judging, but based 
on what I have heard, Azeem O Shan is a first rate Rahman 
composition.  The Rahman magic is there...quintissential Rahman at his 
best here.  Very powerful track.  One of the finest Rahman 
compositions in recent times.  I liked Jashn E Bahar as a soothing, 
melodious number, but nothing spine chilling or goose bump inducing 
yet.  Found the magic a bit subdued.  Found it a bit banal music wise, 
but quite rich lyrically wise.  Perhaps a grower for me.  I do love 
the first musical interlude, however,  Very classy and acoustic. 

BTW, someone has pointed out that the promo for Khwaja Mere Khwaja, 
the Qawali sung by Rahman, is now showing on MTV.
