Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice was otherworldly. For 25 years, his mystical songs transfixed millions. It was not long enough ... He performed qawwali, which means wise or philosophical utterance, as nobody else of his generation did. His vocal range, talent for improvisation and sheer intensity were unsurpassed.

SHIV KUMAR BATALWI- Shikra yaar

"The mental condition of a daughter whose Love died on the marriage day. She gets up at nights and hugs her mother to share the anguish and agony. She tells her mother that, in his separation, she is tormented, weeps day and night and cannot sleep. She requests her mother to ask these MOURNING SONGS of separation to stop torturing her at nights, so that she could sleep in peace. She serenades sad mourning songs outside in the moonlit nights to solace her heart, but without fail. She does not find any console even after weeping and lamenting.  She remembers the time when she was being prepared for her marriage".

This marvellous poetry is written by the great Punjabi poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi. It is not easy to translate it as lot of metaphors have been used in each verse. Anybody can take different meanings of these words. I have tried to translate it the way I feel and understand it..
