Beautiful song. Love Rajasthani folk music!

The region's music shares similarities both with nearby areas of India and the other side of the border, in the Pakistani province of Sindh.

Traditional music includes the women's Panihari songs, which lyrically describes chores, especially centered around water and wells, both of which are an integral part of Rajasthan's desert culture.

The celebration of changing seasons is also very central to folk music of Rajasthan. Celebration of the coming of the Monsoons or the harvest season are central to most traditional folk songs. Songs also revolve around daily activities of the local people for instance a song about not sowing Jeera (Cummin) as it is difficult to tend. Or for instance another song about Podina (Mint) and how it is liked by various members of the family (an allegorical reference to a local liquor extracted from mint is also made). Every day common themes are the center of traditional rajasthani folk music.

immortal words by Gulzar!! AR brings back the magic...numbing experience!!

Humko Mann Ki Shakti Dena ..

Holi - Gulabo

In a radical departure from the norm of pursuing wealth and success, in this song the poet Kabir celebrates the joy of poverty, and the beauty of simplicity. Kabir claims that this joy is far greater than the joys afforded by material comfort or luxury. This audio is from a live performance at Lamakaan in Hyderabad. With Venkataraman Ramachandran on the kanjira.

Mann Laago Yaar Fakiri Mein | Kabir

This song has been composed and sung soulfully by Saida Begum. It explains that one’s every breath is shared with their beloved. In the Sufi tradition ‘the beloved’ can be understood to refer to God. The harmonium Tabla and Dhol are played as accompaniments.

Dum Dhola - Rabba Mereya

Safa is a song that talks about washing yourself of yourself and shedding the weight brought upon your being by your ego beyond which you'll find that life is so short and so precious that it must be celebrated with everyone else at each little opportunity and that there is more than enough reason to believe in co-existence and sharing of joy beyond reservations.

"Kesariya ho ya hara ho baalam!
Ya ho kaala, ya gora, ya neela ya peela!
Jab dil se dil ka taar juda ho,
tu saara jag rangeela!
Phir aaye nahi koi raaste!
Na aam-aavaam, na tere saam-dhaam!
Jab dil se dil ka taar juda ho,
Koi rok sake hai kya?

Par is baat pe mai.n tay hoo.n
Tu hai to mai.n hoo.n
Tu hai to mai.n hoon

Jo boyega, seenchega wahi
Dil jo jakde, kyu.n pakde wahi?
Dil pe bojha liye dhhoye tu hi!
Ismei.n jo khoya lautega nahi.n

Karei.n rehmat aa mil kar
Tu aazaad dil kar
Aham se, badi se,
Safa kar khud ko khudi se

Chhorho ab ye ranjishei.n, dil saaf karei.n
Jo bhi giley-shikwe hai.n, sab maaf karei.n
Chal manfi hataei.n!
Aa nafrat mitaei.n!
Bhula kar, dua kar,
Safa kar khud ko khudi se

Humsaaye hum saare, saare hum saaye hai.n
Koi na kisi se bada, urooj pe inkesaari hai

Humsaaye hum saare, saare hum saaye hai.n
Saare hum saaye hai.n, humsaaye hum saare"
