Jhoom baraber jhoom sharabi…. Review on Ten Best Qawwalis of Hindi Films

*Kaalii ghataa hai, aa aa, mast fazaa hai, aa aa.

Kaalii ghaTaa hai mast fazaa hai, jaam uThaakar ghuum ghuum ghuum

Jhuum baraabar jhuum sharaabii, jhuum baraabar jhuum*

*Aadab, Zannab-E-Ali

Qawwalon ki mehfil mein aapka swagat hai, mere saathi qawwal hein Akbar Ilahabadi, Bulleh Shah, Liyakat Ali, Shaukat Miyan, Zameela Begum, aur Tabassum Bano. To phir qawwali ka duar shuru karte hein.

Bhes majnu ka liya maine jo laila hokar

Rang laaya hai dupatta mere maila hokar

Well these lines are from very famous qawwali “Hai agar dushman, dushman zamaana, gam nahin gam nahin –Hum Kisi se kum nahin”

Qawwalis have very meaningful and interesting lyrics with some experimental, yet fantastic music and with lots of Talis(clapping) in a rhythmic way(Jo jhoomne per mazboor ker de). Sometimes Qawwalis are more like jugalbandi. Generally Qawwalis get start with 2-3 very slow lines, which represent the qawwali. In old era Qawwalis were so famous, and there were some great lyricists also for Qawwalis, for ex Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and Shakeel Badayuni etc. In present era, we hardly see any qawwali in movies, there r only few like

*“Tumse milke dil ka hai jo haal kya kahein, ho gaya hai kaisa yeh kamala kya kahen –Mein hoon na”,

“Chachunder ker sir pe na bhaye chameli, kahan raja bhoj kahan gangu teli –Dulhe raja”*

-

*Ab Yeh nacheez, Pesh kerti hai aapki khidmat mein Hindi filmon ke kuch yaadgaar nagme, gaur fermaiyega

Arz kiya hai

“Irshaad Irshaad”
