Raag Bahar - Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sings Khurau Bandish

This rendition of Raag Bahar is simply 25 minutes of bliss.


Hazrat Khwaja sang khailiye dhamaal
baees e Khwaja ral ban than baithe
beech mein hazrat rasool e sahib e jamal
hazrat khwaja sang khailiye dhamaal

~ Hazrat Amir Khusrau
----------------------

Sakal ban phool rahi sarson,
Ambva moray, gesu phulay,
Koyal bolay daar daar,
Aur gori karat singhaar,
Malaniyan gadhwa lay aayin karson,

Tarah tarah kay phool mangaaye,
Lay gandhva haathan mein aaye.
Nijamuddin kay darwajay par,
Aawan keh gaey shoakh rung,
Aur beet gaye barson.

~ Hazrat Amir Khusrau
