He is the son and senior-most disciple of maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan.<br /><br />Shakir Khan on Sitar<br />Accompanied by Ganesh Tanwade on Tabla<br />October 24th, 2009<br />7:00 – 9:00 PM<br />50 University Road, Pérez Hall, University of Ottawa<br />(Laurier Ave. E. and Cumberland)<br /><br />For more details: http://spkacademy.org/OttawaConcert.html or ottawa@spkacademy.orgSiyamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11282443285312821654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-42975295420004064332009-09-18T02:19:59.113-04:002009-09-18T02:19:59.113-04:00Hazrat Zaheen Shah (R.A.) is one of the prominent Sufi poet of recent times.He was a staunch follower of wahdat-ul-wajud ( unity of being)and this is reflected in his poetry also.<br />As he says:<br /><br />Bahaar-e-baagh-e-ghulistaan-e-sarmadi hum hain,<br />Khuda ke saath jo daayam hai wo aadmi hum hain.<br /><br />His poetry has a high level of ecstasy, and that is multiplied by the beautiful voice of Begum Abida Parveen.<br />I think Raqs-e-bismil is one the best album of sufi singing ever produced.<br />Thanks for posting it.<br />In the end another couplet from Hazrat Zaheen Shah R.A.:<br /><br />Nahin hai arsh to kuch kam bhi nahin hai arsh se ye dil,<br />Yahaan naazil hui teri ayaat-e-jamaal aakhir.sag-e-dar-e-niyazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18381750154337581276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-91139089189947607162009-09-16T11:41:17.216-04:002009-09-16T11:41:17.216-04:00Arif,<br />The video has vanished.

My father wanted to get in touch with him but his old email Id (which is approximately 10 years old now) doesn&#39;t seem to work..<br /><br />Seeing that you have followed up his Univ of Ottawa session on your blog I wanted to know if you had any information as to where he lives. Any address, email Id or phone number will suffice.<br /><br />Please reply to my mail id : bindaasbhai@gmail.com<br /><br />Looking forward to your reply.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Kshitij Sharmabindaaskshitijhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04595322192029940306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-55108381313720697392009-07-09T11:25:21.355-04:002009-07-09T11:25:21.355-04:00<a href="http://mysticsaint.blogspot.com/2009/07/paimona-bideh-bring-me-chalice.html" rel="nofollow">Paimona Bideh with translation</a>Sadiq Alamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979716765564795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-12030593910945737192009-07-08T15:38:10.745-04:002009-07-08T15:38:10.745-04:00بہت خوب! <br /><br />نیاز راز كی روداد حسن و عشق كا قصہ<br />یہ جو كچھ بھی ہے سب انكی ھماری داستاں تك ھے<br /><br />Sounds secret services :)Jeechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937642984019455132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-42576656331894559742009-07-08T10:45:25.617-04:002009-07-08T10:45:25.617-04:00waheen tak daikh sakta hai, nazar jiss ki jahan tak hai...<br /><br />bohatkhub. aur dusrey alfaaz mein... waheen tak daikh sakta hai, jahan tak daikhney ki koshish karta hai. <br /><br />kuchh mehnat bhi lagti hai uss ki lagan mein.Arif Ali Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14871355528600999909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010414813496277263.post-30674912959257514082009-07-05T10:57:45.291-04:002009-07-05T10:57:45.291-04:00bohat achha khayal khayal hai.
