Coke Studio Season 9| Afreen Afreen| Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Momina Mustehsan

Coke Studio Season 9| Episode 2
Song Name: Afreen Afreen
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was one of the shining lights of Pakistan, a Qawwali Shahehshah whose talent was heralded both locally and globally. To celebrate the legend that still lives 19 years on, Coke Studio presents
Afreen Afreen, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Momina Mustehsan, Episode 2, Coke Studio 9

Music Directed by Faakhir Mehmood
Produced by Strings
The beautifully crafted ‘Afreen Afreen’ sung two decades ago by the legendry, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan still holds the strength to serenade the audience with its poetic and soothing sensibilities. The reformation of the track on Coke Studio – arranged by Faakhir Mehmood and performed by maestro Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and debutant, Momina Mustehsan – transforms the Qawwali seamlessly into an unplugged track. Within the genre, the atmosphere of the song remains ambient and acoustic, as the bare minimum elements give room to Rahat’s majestic vocals to improvise the mastery he possesses. Momina enters the song as she punctuates the additional melody with her laid-back effortless velvety vocals. Towards the end, the track is perfectly complimented with the incredible drum roll and a hyper groove as the traditional ‘Afreen Afreen’ chants are delivered with heartfelt emotion and melodic panache.

When I'm typing this comment, there has been a lot of tension going on between India-Pakistan. War has extended it's dark paws to stop the cultural exchanges between the two countries - artists are banned, films are banned. Social media is full of mutual hatred and enmity. Yet here I am, an Indian, almost fighting my tears back after listening to such a magical music piece, that too from Pakistan. If only everything was as magical and as borderless as music...

Polititians draw boundaries between countries but artist closed these boundaries by their arts 🇮🇳🤝🇵🇰

[adkannadi]

Love . Peace . Respect

10 reasons why the unplugged Afreen version connects with the contemporary generation much more than the original classic!
1. Rahat, the next best person on the planet to sing this after Nusrat Sahib!
2. Qawwali to a romantic unplugged number - a welcome genre change!
3. Lyrics are much more prominent to the listener. Javed sahib ka jawab nahin!
4. Unplugged light arrangement on acoustic guitar goes with the romantic lyrics
5. So what if we don't have Lisa Ray, we have a 'beauty with an enchanting voice' - Momina!
6. Awesome backing vocalists add to the breezy romantic feel!
7. Rahat sahib ends with the typical Nusrat style sargam
8. Slower tempo brings out the emotions beautifully!
9. Live jam session helps connect with music better
10. Do you really need another reason to hit that replay button?

I'm a Nigerian(Africa) and I'm obsessed with this song. Too beautiful!

[anushanetha]

Aisa dekha nahi khoob-soorat koyi
Jism jaise ajanta ki moorat koyi
Jism jaise nigaahon pah jaadu koyi
Jism naghmah koyi
Jism khush-bu koyi
Jism jaise mahakti hui chaandani
Jism jaise machalti hui raagini
Jism jaise kih khilta hua ik chaman
Jism jaise kih sooraj ki pahli kiran
Jism tarsha huwa dil-kash o dil-nisheen
Sandaleen sandaleen
Marmareen marmareen

We’ve never seen one with such beauty as she
Hers is the beauty of the sculptured idols of Ajanta
Her beauty has bewitched our gaze
Her beauty is an alluring song
Her beauty is a heady fragrance
Hers is the beauty of scented moonlight
Hers is the beauty of a haunting melody
Hers is the beauty of a blossoming garden
Hers is the beauty of the first light of dawn
Hers is the most exquisitely hewn beauty
Warm and smooth as sandalwood
Pure and delicate as marble

Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe ham-nisheen
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi

It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Whoever sees her must succumb to her spell
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved

Jaane kaise baandhe tu ne akhiyon ke dor
Man mera khincha chala aaya teri or
Mere chehre ke subh zulfon ki shaam
Mera sab kuchh hai piya ab se tere naam
Nazron ne teri chhuwa
To hai yih jaadu hua
Hone lagi hoon main haseen

I don’t know what enchantment your gaze wrought
My heart became drawn to you irresistibly
The bright dawn of my face, the dusky twilight of my tresses
All that was mine is now devoted to you
Your eyes met mine
And ever since then a spell has been woven
I feel that I have become beautiful

Aafreen Aafreen Aafireen

Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator!

Chehra ik phool ki tarh shaadaab hai
Chehra us ka hai ya koyi mahtaab hai
Chehra jaise ghazal chehra jaan-I ghazal
Chehra jaise kali chehra jaise kanwal
Chehra jaise tasawwur bhi tasweer bhi
Chehra ik khaab bhi chehra taa’beer bhi
Chehra koyi alf lailawi daastaan
Chehra ik pal yaqeen chehra ik pal gumaan
Chehra jaisa ke chehra kaheen bhi nahi
Maah-ru maah-ru mah-jabeen mah-jabeen

Her face is fresh as a flower
Is it her face in its brilliance or is it the moon itself?
Her face is sheer poetry
Her face has the beauty of the lotus flower
Her face is an artist’s thought and also its translation
Her face is both dream and realisation
Her face is some magical tale
Her face is both certainty and supposition
Her face is like no other seen anywhere
Splendidly luminous, dazzlingly radiant

Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe hamnisheen
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi

It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Whoever sees her must succumb to her spell
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator!
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved

Aafreen aafreen
Aafreen aafreen
Aafireen

Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator!

This is what happens when Javed Akhtar (India) and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Pakistan) get together and produce something like this, love from India.
