This song is an experience. It rings a bell as familiar, the strings, the picking, but the Urdu singing is so foreign to me which just makes this all the more hauntingly beautiful. What a gorgeous language and song.

[UK-jtmw]

SHE WON!! SHE WON!! Thank you from all of Pakistan!

[thomasnelson]

She sounds almost exactly like the record! Incredible performance, hope she wins every Grammy she's up for

a poem written by Hafeez Hoshiarpuri circa 1921, English translation of the words:

seeing how you have ample lovers around you,
i will not be one of them

this is sad, as i love you the most.
the sadness of this is equal to the sadness of all the world.
and were there not this one sadness, how much happiness would there be
in this world.

and even if i do somehow get to be one of your lovers,
the sadness of my time spent in separation from you will be all that consumes me

i will not be one of those lovers to you.

[muhammadfarid]

When you listen to this song with close eyes you feel like walking in green forest, slow rain, dark night without fear, love in heart, animals walk with you with peace, breeze torching your face soft, you don’t have destination but love (mohabat) you are lost in love, you don’t know the world but just love . Thank you
