Aayi Kyon Hichkiyaan Nahin Maloom

In loving memory of Ustad Iftekhar Ahmad Nizami sb (grandfather of Subhan Bilal Hilal Qawwal)
we held a small and intimate gathering to recite his favorite poetry.

I hope you will enjoy it as much we did.

Aayi kyon hichkiyan nahin maloom kaun hai meherbaan nahin maloom baykhudi mein bardha raha hun qadam jaa raha hun kahan nahin maloom Jaa raha hun ghaubaar ke peechhe Hai kahan kaarvaan nahin maloom Yaad itna hai barq chamki thii kya huwa aashiyaan nahin maloom Kehte kehte fasaana gham ka saeed, ruk gayii kyon zuban nahin maloom 😍🎼❤️

The folks at The Dream Journey certainly enjoyed the collection of old ghazals that Subhan
had prepared for the baithak. There were six others sung that day and I'm hoping that we
will get to see all of them soon.

Aamadey Bey Qatl-e-Mann - Amir Khusrau

   Ustad Iftekhar Ahmad Qawwal
What an amazingly beautiful recital by Ustad Iftekhar Ahmad Qawwal @ Anees Miyan's Mehfil (Urs of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya in 2011). A truly emotive experience.

Aamadey bey qatl-e-mann, en shokh sitamgari
Een turfa tamasha been, na karda gunah gaare

Gar nam-o-nishan-e-mann, pur sang be go qasid
Awara-o-majnoon ne, rusva sar-e-bazari

Ae isiye bimara, dar hijr-e-ranj o ram
Shayad na khabardari, az halat-e-bimari

 Khwahi ke shifa baashad, beemar-e-mohbbat ra
Gar jura khuda raze, az sharbat-e-deedare

 Dar lazat-e-deedar ash, khusrau che to a guftam
Sar dadam uja dadam, na deeda rukh-e-yaare

 ~ Amir Khusrau
