I heard Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan singing this song with his qawwali party. I found it very moving and when I found out about the meaning of this qawwali it became a sure favourite of mine. 

I recorded this with Marc Clayton in Brighton who produced the track and plays tabla, bass and daff on it. 

Lyrics and translation (sourced from Wikipedia): 
Written by Hazart Amir Khusro in the praise of Ali ibn Abi Talib. 

Ali shaah-e-mardaaN imaamun kabiiraa
ke baad az nabii shud bashirun naziiraa

Ali is the king of the brave and the great leader
because after the Prophet, there is Ali.

Man kunto maulaa
fa haaza Aliun maulaa

To whom I am the master
Ali is the master.

Note: A famous tradition (hadith) of Prophet Muhammad. Ali was his cousin and son-in-law.

daaraa dil daaraa dil daar-e-daanii
tum tum taa naa naa naanaa, naanaa naanaa re
yaalaalii yaalaalii yaalaa, yaalaa yaalaa

Dar – Bheetar, Aandar (inside) Dara – Andar Aa (get in or come inside) Dartan – Tanke Aandar (inside the body) Tanandara – Tanke Aandar Aa (Come inside the body) Tom – Main Tum Hun (I am you) Nadirdani – Tu Sabse Adhik Janata Hai (You know more than anyone else) Tandardani – Tanke Aandarka Jannewala (One who knows what is inside the body)

Tanan Dar Aa - Enter my body. O Dani - He knows Tu Dani - You know. Na Dir Dani - You are the Complete Wisdom. Tom - I am yours, I belong to you. Yala - Ya Allah Yali - Ya Ali.[3]
