JEEJALDI - Sakur Khan ║ BackPack Studio™ (Season 1) ║ Indian Folk Music - Rajasthan

This song, which beautifully renders a Sufi poem in the Sindhi Language by the famous poet Shah Latif, was composed by a noted Sindhi Sufi scholar, mystic, saint, and poet, widely considered to be the greatest Muslim poet of the Sindhi language. The song is composed in Raag Malahar and set to Kalwada Taal, a 5-beat cycle. This song tells the story of a girl who has no wish to enjoy the materialistic world and instead wants to follow the footsteps of a Swamiji and become an ascetic like him. This song beautifully blends the aromas of Hinduism and Islamic worship.

I will walk with the swamiji wherever he goes, and she wants to become a jogi like him) Naang nodiyon hatthan mein kaan kini na kann (The girl describes Swamiji as the one who carries a snake in his hand, and one who has no material desires) Khufar jholiyo kulhan mein wajnan wayu kann (The swami carries a satchel, in which he keeps a utensil. When he asks for food, he keeps walking and roaming till eternity) Suhino shah latif chave ravali dehiviyo rang (In the last concluding verse, Shah Latif leaves his signature as a composer, and says that if one gets the colour of Allah, one does not need material possessions.) ©Anahad Foundation
