Aap Bete Hain Balin Peh Meri - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Jani Door Gaye By Nusrat Fateh

The talk of their grace fills every gathering and place,
The pure soul is unveiled in the face of their divine grace.
Their radiant countenance casts light that none can match,
Even the darkest tresses cannot obscure its dazzling batch.
Their bearing is majestic, their voice a call so grand,
Words flow like pearls, born of the purest strand.

In their gaze, paradise beckons with a pull so deep,
Their eyes, like the hunter’s, are drawn to secrets they keep.
A masterpiece of character, with virtues refined,
From the grace of the Prophet, all truth they did find.
In the company of their followers, a star’s light shown,
Like the moon amidst the stars, their brilliance is known.

One day, Ukba approached and said to you,
"Our goal is wealth, and we shall make you rich, too.
We’ll grant you riches, power, and command,
But if your aim is something else, we understand.
If wealth is what you seek, here's the chance—
Yet truth and prophecy are in God's stance.
The message of the Prophet, the faith must remain,
Nothing else is worthy, all else is in vain.
How extraordinary was the Prophet’s way,
No wealth or power could ever sway."

From the beginning, your mission was to serve humankind,
Concerned with others' troubles, ever compassionate and kind.
You healed the wounds of both kin and stranger,
A friend to the orphan, a protector from danger.
In service to the needy, you stood strong,
Sharing in their sorrow, and guiding them along.
Your speech brought joy and peace to the hearts of men,
Your character was a path to follow again and again.
Everyone believed in your noble, virtuous way,
They called you the "Truthful One," in awe every day.
The talk was all about your great, noble deed,
And how your pure soul met every need.

The first light of truth is the light of the Prophet,
From which all souls and the heavens have been wrought.
It is through this light that mankind gained its sight,
In its love, the believer finds eternal delight.
From the beginning of time, this light was the goal,
The best of creation, the last to make us whole.

Many Prophets have come to the world,
But it was this one, the best of all, who unfurled.

The universe was adorned with the light of this truth,
From this light arose the grandeur of life’s youth.
The light of Muhammad was a mirror of traits divine,
In it, God saw His own beauty, so pure, so fine.
All veils of the unseen were now revealed,
And the self of the Prophet, in His light, was sealed.

The essence of the Prophet was of mercy and grace,
A simple act of kindness, a smile on His face.
The limits of His noble character had no end,
For His goodness shone like the evening sky, my friend.

The banner of submission is the foundation of eternity,
All messengers brought the call of eternal piety.
From every height, the call of submission rings,
The ultimate wisdom lies in the submission it brings.
The Prophet’s pride was in His bond with the Divine,
And hidden in His actions was this truth, sublime.

He was the renowned King, beloved by the Lord,
Every gesture of His, eternal and adored.
He was never arrogant, nor proud in His mission,
Whenever He spoke, it was in humble submission.
He made His bond with the Divine His utmost care,
And gave the message of servitude, so pure and rare.

The formation of livelihood has been established,
The perfection of the faith has been completed.
The verses of the Divine have been revealed,
The message to the world has been sealed.
Humanity's perfect example lies in the Prophet,
In this caravan of life, the Prophet is the ultimate destination.
The map of the righteous still shines today,
The character of the Prophet remains protected, come what may.
People still hear His words, still feel His presence near,
The realm of light is still visible, clear.

Hum Hosh Bi Apna Bhool Gaye - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

I beheld thee in the innocent bloom of spring,  
I beheld thee in the stars' eternal ring.  
My beloved, by thy modest veil's decree,  
I beheld thee amidst the tears' cruel sea.

The night of sorrow knows no dawning light,  
And if it does, it finds no place in sight.  
O life, be thou brief and sweet, I pray,  
But the sorrowful night shall not fade away.

The fabric of existence, in disarray,  
Yet this trial, too, shall pass its way.  
My heart’s repose was meant for decay,  
Yet even their glance brought harm to stay.

I gazed upon him, and the dawn did break,  
He gazed upon me, and the end did wake.

What eyes hath he cast upon me this day,  
That his glance shall never fade away?

Mine own sight met his, and I did lose my grace,  
I had to leave all, for his embrace.

Thou hast betrayed me, O false one, with thy lies,  
Why does the world itself betray and sigh?

We hold no faith in rituals or prayer,  
But when I beheld thee, God’s name filled the air.

What is life, if it be to live or die,  
To be angered by thee has become my cry.

When thou didst halt, the pulse of life did cease,  
When thou didst move, 'twas as if the end brought peace.

No peace the heart finds, not for a single breath,  
What is a fleeting meeting, if it leads to death?

My life, once wise, now lost in foolish chase,  
Devoted to a heart that hath lost its grace.

What did the eyes and hearts discover, when they met,  
When both sides of me found 'Saajid's' regret?

Kehna Ghalat Ghalat To Chupaana Sahi Sahi - TheLegend.NFAK

Mae Ni Mae Mere Geetan De (Live Version) - TheLegend.NFAK

In love's fierce fire, my heart did burn,  
You lit the flame, and to it, I did return.  

If love lacks longing, it’s not truly real,  
A heart untouched by pain, can it ever feel?  

This pain is not bought with silver or gold,  
It is a gift from thee, more precious than told.  

Do not ease my sorrow, nor comfort my woe,  
Let not my heart be humbled, let it not bow low.  

What else remains in my heart’s silent keep?  
Only the pain of your love, buried deep.  

To those who grant such pain, rare and divine,  
We offer our prayers, for their souls shine.  

In my soul, no freshness, in my heart, no bloom,  
Without thee, my love, life is but a tomb.  

No peace does my heart find, dear, without thee near,  
Come, for life is restless, consumed by this fear.  

You are the essence of my life, my core,  
Your sorrow is mine, and your joy I adore.  

In silent cups, in angry wine, I find,  
Without thee, love, my heart is confined.  

When thy voice speaks, life breathes anew,  
In every word, I find myself true.  

The distance from your door is vast and wide,  
Yet life exists in the place where our souls reside.  

What, by thy grace, have I not gained or found?  
My arms are empty, but at thy door, I am bound.  

No reason, no sense, no logic remains,  
How can I forget thee, when madness reigns?  

Once reason tried to make me forget your face,  
But a hundred times, madness led me to your grace.  

A thousand faces may cross before my eyes,  
But none hold my gaze when thy love denies.  

In wounds and in pain, I endure without cry,  
For love is my life, and I never ask why.  

A thousand beauties may stand before me,  
But without thee, my love, my heart flies free.

Kiven Mukhre Ton Nazran Hatawan

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai Full Qawwali

"Night Song" is part of series 2 of the Real World Gold re-issued albums - released 30th July.

The great – and ridiculously prolific – Pakistani qawwali singer had already recorded half a dozen albums for Real World when he delivered this peach in 1996. Effectively the sequel to 1990’s classic Mustt Mustt, Nusrat is here reunited with the Canadian musician/producer Michael Brook and once again the partnership tests the emotional boundaries of the human voice. Timeless, state-less and, nearly two decades on, ageless. It wasn’t made in Detroit or Memphis, but this truly is soul music.
“An album for the ages, defying genre and solidifying Khan’s stature as one of the world’s pre-eminent singers” – Billboard


Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Micheal Brook - My Heart, My Life

Na man behooda girde kocha
Wa bazaar megardam
Mazaj-e-ashiqee daram paye
dildar megardam

Khudaya rahm kon bar man
Pareeshan waar megardam

Khata karam gonahgaram
Ba hale zaar megardam

Sharabe showq menosham
Ba girde yaar megardam

Sukhan mastana megoyam
Walay hooshyaar megardam

         English Translation

No I am not roaming aimlessly
around the streets and bazaar
I am a lover searching for his beloved

God have mercy on me
I am walking around troubled

I have done wrong and sinned
and am walking around wounded

I have drunk the wine of desire
and am strolling around beloved

Though I may seem drunk
I am quite sober
