এরা রাস্তায় খাড়াই ডাকাতেরা Thieves are Roaming the Road- আব্দুল হাই দেওয়ান Abdul Hai Dewan

Sung by Abdul Hai Dewan (Half-Matal) Filmed & edited by Janet Best. This song is from a pala gaan that took place in Bibir Bazaar, Bangladesh on March 12, 2004. It is based on a story about the childhood of the Muslim holy man, Abdul Qadir Jelani. Before he went on a journey his mother sewed some gold coins into his clothes. On the way, thieves attacked and robbed the travellers. They asked Abdul Qadir Jelani if he had any money. He couldn't tell a lie and admitted that he had coins in his clothes. The thieves were so impressed by him that they abandoned their evil ways . Copyright Janet Best 2016
