Kabir in Pakistan - Sufi poetry


Shafi Mohammed Faqir from Sindh, Pakistan featured i shere in "Had Anhad"
the film produced by Shabnam Virmani of The Kabir Project.
The interesting string instrument that has a folk sound in the background is 
the Bulbul Tarang seen at 5.30.




Jeet jeet ke umar guzari
Hon te haar fakira

Jeetey da mol char kordiyan
Te haray da mol heera

Nal Mahi tede Lagiyan Diliyan
Asan Ishq da kalma padh baithhey
Asan sar da soda kar baithhey


The above clip was added with permission from The Kabir Project, Bangalore.

sar dar e qadam yaar e fida shud, chi baja shud, 
iin baar e giran bood e wazan shud, chi baja shud


trans: 

Sacrificed my head at the feet of the beloved
How right that was!

It was nothing but a great burden, got removed
How right that was!

~ Farrokh Namazi


Here is some more enchanting World music where the Bulbul is used with Violin and other instruments:

Haman Hai Ishq Mastana (Pakistan mein Kabir)



Haman hai ishq mastana
Haman ko hoshiyari kya
Rahen azad ya jag mein
Haman duniya se yaari kya
trans:
I am bursting with love,
Why do I need to be careful?
Being free in the world,
What of the worlds friendship do I need?

My personal thanks to Shabnam Virmani of Bangalore for helping in keeping this alive for all Pakistanis.
