Raag Shahana - Ameer Khusrau

A regal raag and a beautiful bandish fuse together as Munshi Raziuddin presents the raag shahana: the composition, the ghazal, and the taal, all three are Amir Khusrau's invention.

Listen here: Raag Shahana

The qawwali ends with a spontaneous transition into "Hajrat khaja sung khailiye dhamal", instantly changing the mood from melancholy to joy, a wonderful effect that will not be new to Munshi Raziuddin fans.
