KHABARAM RASEEDA - FAREED AYAZ & ABU MUHAMMAD
Song Review
According to Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad this qawali was composed by their ancestors who are descendants of Mian Samat Ibrahim, a disciple of Amir Khusro.
The qawwali has been presented in Raag Bageshri and is a composition of a ghazal written by Amir Khusro. The ghazal expresses sufi philosophy, using imagery of the worldly love for a beloved as a means of representing love for God. Khusro writes that he just heard his beloved is coming to him and he is ready to lay down his life in wait for the arrival as he feels this dying man might be given new life with the anticipated union.Coke Studio's modal music treatment of this track renders new, previously unheard versions of qawali.
