#BurdaBlues -- Nader Khan​ & #TheBlacksmiths
The Keighley Munshids​ are keenly involved in celebrating and promoting #TheMainstay -- the first ever English translation of one of the most celebrated commentaries on the Qasida Burda. They've been inviting and encouraging artists around the world to submit their renditions of a few verses from The Burda. 

I was honoured to be a recipient of one such invite. Tonight, The Blacksmiths were over at my place for our weekly practice session. So, we decided to shoot a brief video of a rendition of the first chapter of the Burda that we've been working on for the next album. Here's a sneak peak.

The opening words in English are from an epic poem that my dear friend Amir Sulaiman​ is composing on The Prophet (ﷺ).

BurdaBlues -- A sneak-peak from Nader Khan​ & TheBlacksmiths

Do do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Do do do do, do do do, do do do, do do


When your being is addicted to his being 
And you feel terrible at the thought of detachment 
Only he can fulfill your needs
You were so satisfied, you were so satisfied
When he’s pleased


How do you know your in love 
How do you know your in love
How do you know your in love
How do you know your in love 

(Allahu Allahu Haqq Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah)
(Allahu Allahu Haqq Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah)


When this longing has brought you to your knees 
And in dua you call upon and weep (Allahi Allah)
How do you know your in love
Because lovers hearts connect when the lovers of him meet


How do you know your in love 
How do you know your in love
How do you know your in love
How do you know your in love


You withstand the hardship and despite the pain
You relieve tremendously by calling his name
Ya Rabbi Allahi Allah
Ya Rabbi Allahi Allah
Ya Rabbi Allahi Allah
Ya Rabbi, Ya Rabbi


When your place of worship is where you wanna be forever
When in sujood you hope you never rise again (never) 
Intoxicated by the presence of this loving friend, of this loving friend
Your in search of ways to nurture this infatuation 
Because he’s the lord who rescued you when you called
When none heard you near and far (only he)
Can know that your loved, truly know that your loved
When the five daily prayers are simply not enough 
When your heart trembles in desire of cultivation 
Nothing in the world compares to the sensation to in know your in love, that’s when you know your in love



Rest assured you’ve been sought run to him and worry not because your in love
Rest assured you’ve been sought run to him and worry not because your in love
Rest assured you’ve been sought run to him and worry not because your in love
Rest assured you’ve been sought run to him and worry not because your in love

A Reality

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Allah Allah Allah 


Beneath all the filth and dirt is a light that won’t fade 
I’ve been blessed with it and I’ll keep it this way 
At every turning corner darkness parades
To take away what keeps me sane
The undying truth the truth place in my ruh and in all you reign supreme 


‏الله اكبر لا اله الا الله
‏الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله



At times I doubt myself and I think my efforts go to waste
Time and time again I fall and I’m thinking this is my fate (oh)
Something picks me up my spirit is revived 
I felt this blessing near the whole time 
The undying truth the truth placed in my ruh and in all you reign supreme 



‏الله اكبر لا اله الا الله
‏الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله



I can’t despair because he chose me and honored me 
When he intends good for someone he gives them true belief
And I’d be unwise to think for a second I am on my own
Whatever choices we make he is ever close 



‏الله اكبر لا اله الا الله
‏الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله



The light I Hold in my core 
It is a treasure and it has no measure 
My anchor in my faith I’ve discovered 
For this I’m truly grateful to my master (Takbir Allah hu akhbar!)



‏الله اكبر لا اله الا الله
‏الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
 الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
