Night Song is a collaborative studio album by Pakistani qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Canadian ambient musician, guitarist and producer Michael Brook.
 Recorded in 1995 and released in 1996 on Real World Records, it was Khan’s last album released on the label during his lifetime.
 Khan and Brook had previously collaborated for "Mustt Mustt" (1990), a critically acclaimed world fusion album said to have led Pakistani youth to discover Sufi religious music, qawwali.
 The two had not worked for some time but collaborated again for a new album in 1995, naming the album "Night Song".
 The album was produced by Brook, who developed an innovative but difficult production process for the album.
 Khan recorded improvisations for the album, and Brook had to decide which sections, some of which were an hour long, were the best and how they were going to fit together, without having a structural point of reference to start with or aim towards.
 He had components recorded on multi-track tapes, and created each track part by part, overdubbing his instrumentation atop of it, a manual process that predated easy forms of digital editing.
