Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - The Last Prophet of Qawalli?

Mr. Acharya!

I object to your use of word `last prophet` in the title. That was just another meanspirited, pathetic hindu attempt to insult us. So typical of you herbivours.

``I object to your use of word `last prophet` in the title. That was just another meanspirited, pathetic hindu attempt to insult us``

.... talk about muslims being schizophrenic - maybe shankar can help.....

... even though hindoos are horrible creatures, always out to get the faithful where it hurts, i am sure that in this case the author used the word `` prophet`` in its literary generic form - guru, pundit, high-priest, the great poobah ......

........ so lighten up and lets not get all tangled up in our shorts - that`s what bad religion will do to you - tangles you up in your shorts ........ as far as prophets go, i am a little miffed that someone decided to put an end to their coming and going .... if we ever needed a prophet it is now - how bad do things have to get before allah changes his mind ? ... and maybe he will ..... just because he said he won`t do it again doesn`t mean he can`t .... after all he is the great poobah and can do as he pleases ..... as a matter of fact he might already be here ..... have you ever looked into steve tyler`s eyes ?

``Something about a ``from-the-depths-of-the-being`` sound like Nusrat`s has more appeal for me that the sanitised, synthesised song of popular culture.``

Another such artist is Iqbal Bano. I can`t get enough of her voice.

Urstruly #1,

tsk tsk, what`s happening to you buddy?

the guy used the phrase ``last prophet`` in a literary/comparative context, not a religious one.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a wonderful singer! I love his qawwalies; however I like listening to his original qawallies and I think it was a pity that he started to sing pop versions and rock versions.

The qawwali was traditionally for a specific purpose only: hamd of Allah Ta`ala, naat and midhat of Sayyedina Rasool Allah sal allahu alayhi wa sallam and manqabat of the awliya e karaam and eswp. of Hazrat Ali karam allah wajhu. Even the love sung of in qawwalies was used as a Sufi metaphor for Divine Love...therefore i think using it as playback for films in hollywood etc. was disrespectful. And I find the idea of people dancing in nightclubs to the tunes of ``Ali Ali Mawla Ali Ali`` offensive.

Despite this quibble in his later years his death was tragic and may Allah give him jannat. He could bring one to ecstasy with his songs about the Beloved Nabi alayhi salaam esp. his rendition of Hazrat Pir Mihr Ali Shah`s kalaam in his qawwali ``Saaray nabiyaan da Nabi too Imam sohniya!``

Subhan ALLAH.

(Originally qawwali was called sama` and sung WITHOUT musical instruments as an accompaniment; this is the way that Hazrat Nizam uddeen Awliya and the other mashaikh e azaam have permitted it.)

btw, the poem by the author in the beginning of the piece quoted from a nusrat qawwali is SPECIFICALLY for the person of Allah`s Beloved Messenger alayhi salatosalaam and using it for anyone else is disrespectful..

I would like to recount a few memories I have of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

In 1993 he was invited by the Ramgharia Gurdwara in Slough, west London, to perform Qawwali and Shabad. When I arrived with my family, quite early, the hall was filling up. By the time Ustad-ji and his party began, people were literally hanging off the windows to hear him sing. They performed for almost three hours, bringing to sound and melody the poetry of Baba Bulleh Shah, Bhagat Farid, Bhagat Kabir, Bhagat Ravi Das, Guru Nanak, singing directly from the Guru Granth Sahib. It was almost impossible to move as not only Sikhs but Hindus and Pakistanis had travelled, it seemed, from across the whole of west London to hear him. I use this word advisedly... the evening was transcendent. We felt honoured that such a great artist and a true Sufi soul had come to our Gurdwara in west London.

I managed to make my way through the crowd to the front to give darshan. He looked at me and nodded his head.

He was presented with a ceremonial kirpan (sword) afterwards, and he said how honoured he was to have performed in the house of the Guru. He ate langar and left.

Later that evening my Grandfather told me about how, in the old days, Muslim singers would regularly perform in Gurdwaras in Punjab. It was not an unusual feature of life. The spirit of Sufism, which pervades the Guru Granth Sahib, is the lifeblood and inspiration of the Qawallis.

In August 1997, Channel 4 in Britain were holding a series of programmes to mark the 50th anniversary of Indian and Pakistani independance. On this particular evening, they had a series of concerts: Lata Mangeshkar live in Bombay : A compendium of flashy Hindi-pop : and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan live in Manchester, recorded on his recent British tour. They were on late, starting about 11pm so my father bought some blank videotapes and told me to record the concerts.

My mum heard the news of his death on the radio in the afternoon. They started to play his music in remembrance. I sat and listened for a little while, then my friend called round and we went to the pub. We discussed for all of two minutes the sadness of his death, and the twisted coincidence of his dying afew hours before a concert of his was to be shown on TV. I came home later, slightly drunk, put the video tape in the machine & pressed record.

When the concert started I was dozing off. Watching him I felt only slightly melancholic, still a little disbelieving, a little sad.

Ustad-ji came on stage. The alaap of Allah Hoo, his family`s signature Qawaal seeped out, in that itinerant, seekers, gravelly rise voice of his, underscored and echoed by his party.

They interviewed him in-between the songs. My mother said she liked him because he seemed like a gentle person. He spoke softly, in Punjabi, and was humble about his talents and his music. It was eerie as he chatted amiably about his religion, his music, his life. He was alive less than 24 hours ago.

In his Qawallis, he would make reference to the Masjid, the Mandir, the Gurdwara. He evoked the ambience and idioms of rural Punjabi life. He would sing about Mohammed, about Ali, then sing a love song. His voice rumbled with humility, then ecstasy. It was about the tenderness of Allah, his love for the Prophet. About the individual relationship between man and God, a spirit that imbued everything.

He talked about the transcendence he experienced in singing, about how he sometimes hypnotised himself, until he was unaware of his own existence. It was at these moments that he felt closest to God.

He also sang in chaste Punjabi about the immensity of love. A Qawaal like ``Kali Kali Zulfoon`` made me want to close my eyes and dream. His music was like a river of surmounting intensity, reverberations and echoes. To me, he seemed like a chronicler of the folk idioms and sensibility of the land of five rivers.

My Grandfather told me that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the greatest Punjabi soul. He said that his music was redolent of the Sufi values and the dusty plains of the Punjab. He said that is why he was so loved by Sikh people.

The Punjabi singer Malkit Singh held an Akhand Paath (reading from the holy book) in a Gurdwara in Birmingham in memory of Nusrat. One man said we should not allow such things for a Pakistani, that a Muslim should not be remembered in the house of the Guru. Somebody responded to him, quoted a verse of Kabir, to put him in his place. It was profound and the objector scurried off, chastened. I cant remember what it was. All I recall is that it was raining when I left the temple.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the best vocal ambassador of the South Asian Arts that the region has sent to the West to date.
It is tragic for Pakistan that his life ended so early.
I had the opportunity to listen to him perform live on a number of occasions and to meet him twice. For a vocalist-singer he was a man of few words.
I still listen to his Qawwalis and get inspiration from them.
Devotion,love and worship of God can be a joyful experience. Nusrat`s Qawwalis reflected this experience.

I have absolutely no problem with what you are syaing; whether you call sai baba your first prophet or Barney the last or Micky Mouse for that matter, as long as you dont call yourself ``Proud`` Muslim. What do we care.

Note to Acharya:

I think you should have checked this article with a Muslim before sending it in. I also object to the two verses you have attributed to NFAK. Such praise is only attributed to one person as Asif has pointed out.

[...I think you should have checked this article with a Muslim before sending it in...]

would just a muslim do or would he have to be a ``proud`` muslim?

Mr. Acharya:

Indeed, this article is an account of personal experiences and likes, but still you do not give a feeling that you understood very well what was sung by him. My guess.

A Correction:
Khuda ka noor tujh`me hoo-ba-hoo hai`
Khuda hai aur khuda ke baad, tu hai`
[I have really hard time reading ultee pultee poetry].

I hope when you wrote ``subcontinent`` you did not mean, Banglore only. His audio cassettes were readily available in Lahore in all the best music shops and were not lying outside on a Reh`ri at some mazar, before Peter Gabriel intruded. Yes, his picture was not that well advertised in early to late 80s, as it was the voice and the poetry he sang that meant more than anything else. I think you got carried away in your description a little bit. You were trying to portray how he rose or how you found him - but you should have restricted yourself to your part of the world only.

Reading your unimpressive eulogy; I thought of quoting some famous and very well sung numbers. The following includes Amir Khusro[Farsi] and Baba Bulleh Shah`s[Punjabi] poetical verses.

Q1:Nami danam chi manzil bood

Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay ki man boodam;
Baharsu raqs-e bismil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare;
Sarapa aafat-e dil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau;
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
I wonder what was the place where I was last night,
All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love,
tossing about in agony.
There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form
and tulip-like face,
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers.
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court,
oh Khusro,where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light
like a candle.
(trans. S.A.H.Abidi)

Q2. Zehal-e miskin makun taghaful

Zehal-e miskin makun taghaful, duraye naina banaye batiyan;
ki taab-e hijran nadaram ay jaan, na leho kaahe lagaye chhatiyan.
Shaban-e hijran daraz chun zulf wa roz-e waslat cho umr kotah;
Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan.
Yakayak az dil do chashm-e jadoo basad farebam baburd taskin;
Kise pari hai jo jaa sunaave piyare pi ko hamaari batiyan.
Cho sham’a sozan cho zarra hairan hamesha giryan be ishq aan meh;
Na neend naina na ang chaina na aap aaven na bhejen patiyan.
Bahaqq-e roz-e wisal-e dilbar ki daad mara ghareeb Khusrau;
Sapet man ke waraaye raakhun jo jaaye paaon piya ke khatiyan.
Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has overbrimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any messege.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

Q3: Baba Bulleh Shah`s - Kee Janaan Main Koan
http://home.netcom.com/

Urstruly:

There is a CD by Nusrat, ``Last Prohphet`` as well. I suggest you check it out on Amazon. Despite the fact, I did not find this piece impressive from any angle; I think you are misreading the intent of the writer. If you misread someone, do not start yelling ``Hindu this`` and ``Hindu that.`` That`s pretty uncouth. The word ``Prophet`` can have many implications. Have not you heard the expression, ``Mecca`` being used amongst Americans? What about ``guru``? pandits? I am waiting for the word ``sufis`` - used when one is in a contemplative mood :-)

I think when you are in a diverse workplace setting, you will frequently hear these words in your surroundings. Personal Experience.

A Change:

Indeed, this article is an account of personal experiences and likes, but still you do not give a feeling that you ``understand and/or understood`` very well, what was sung by him.

Re the responses on this thread:

Bureacrats demanding to rubberstamp and grade the shades of personal experience listening to a gifted singer? That too, related to (of all things) the Sufi mystic experience..?

And the world just lets it happen? Whats next, low-peity alarms for when we pray at home? Voice vectorizing for weekly checks on choir singers? Mandatory social security numbers for Naga sadhus? Federal regulation of pheromones?

Zahra:

I may have over-reacted but given the atmosphere here at Chowk where every luloo punjoo from hindus to gays and even people like hamidm take cheap shots at our ideals- I may have not.

I think Mr. Acharya owes us an explanation.

[...``I think Mr. Acharya owes us an explanation...``]

who exactly is `us`? and do these `us` have a copyright or a patent for the use of the word `prophet`? if yes, would they kindly produce it in the court, er...chowk?

this all-muslim, all-the-time, muslim-o-rama (wait,...let me think about the copyright of that word), is really quite a show.

mr acharya doesn`t owe you, as they on chowk, a didly-squat.

...as they say on chowk,...

...and oh, voluntary penal servitude called religion...jokes licenses, two references required... copyrights on EEG spikes...

Re : Sadna #80

``...And the world just lets it happen?``

The Indian armed forces are killing the mostly Muslim unarmed civilians of the IOK, and the world just lets it happen. The world realises that the political mouthpieces of BJP and RSS are inciting the ordinary Hindus into a revolt into eradoicating the Muslim community of this supposedly secular country, yet the world loks the other way. Indian intellectuals like yourself, argue and worry about the ethics behind appreciation of Nusrat Fateh Ali, a dead and bygone entity over those of the living ones in complete denila of all civility and humanity, yet you and your sad ilk are willing to continue to terrorise and subjugate a people because of your fake pride, yes the world still looks on. Aad but true.

[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a wonderful singer! I love his qawwalies; however I like listening to his original qawallies and I think it was a pity that he started to sing pop versions and rock versions.]

Cannot agree more with you on that. You will never hear any ``Chun Sajnaa`` or ``Saheb Tae`ree Bandi Aan`` or ``Mun Utkiyaa`` or ``Woh Hataa Rahaen Purdah`` or ``Yeh Jo Hulka Hulka Suroor`` or ``Nee Main Jaana Jogi Dae Naal`` on loud speakers or being played by the DJs. I also abhor the pathetic pop versions. They are simply an insult. Disgusting.


[The qawwali was traditionally for a specific purpose only: hamd of Allah Ta`ala, naat and midhat of Sayyedina Rasool Allah sal allahu alayhi wa sallam and manqabat of the awliya e karaam and eswp. of Hazrat Ali karam allah wajhu. Even the love sung of in qawwalies was used as a Sufi metaphor for Divine Love...therefore i think using it as playback for films in hollywood etc. was disrespectful.

Quite True! Specially, when it comes to the last sentence.

[btw, the poem by the author in the beginning of the piece quoted from a nusrat qawwali is SPECIFICALLY for the person of Allah`s Beloved Messenger alayhi salatosalaam and using it for anyone else is disrespectful...]

Here I will disagree. He has just quoted those verses, in his own way - but very explicitly stated his intent. For instance, I read something by Buddha and I do not believe in that belief system. What should I do? If person X has no affiliation with certain belief system, he will obviously interpret the sayings in another way. Here this fellow is just showing his respect and using those verses for the late singer. Before jumping to the conclusion, I will go by the intent than by what`s stated.

Well, there are all kinds of people on the face of earth with their own understanding of things. No matter how shallow they may appear to you, you cannot go and check everyone or can you? Is it worth it?

``every luloo punjoo from hindus to gays and even people like hamidm``

....... so now i am being lumped in with the horrible hindoos and frigging faggots ... and who are laloo and punjoo? .... oh, well - i am too tired to protest .... perhaps some other day .......how about a little george carlin ? .... but that would be blasphemy - wouldn`t it? ....... it really strikes me as funny that god, as powerful as he claims to be, sould feel threatened by comedians and sophomores .......

........but i do have a serious question: ``If God is so powerful, can He make a rock that is so heavy that He Himself can`t lift it? ``

...perhaps a patriotism and indignation meter...a depth-of-feeling sounder... and visas for alien ideas and mandatory registration with the thought police..

sadna,

control thyself!

Zahra #24, ``I also abhor the pathetic pop versions. They are simply an insult. Disgusting.``

Right on dudette. There should be a law against the ``westernization`` of Ustad Nusrat`s qawwalis.

I remember sitting next to an African American man in Toronto at one of his concerts. He was swooning to the melody of ``yeh jo halka halka suroor hai.`` He didn`t understand a word, but the melody and voice were powerful enough to have that effect on him.

That`s what I call power.

I like most of NFAK`s work I have(unfortunately I have only part of it) but his CD called Sufi Songs which has half hour of Sultan bahu and half hour of Mian Mohammad Bakhash`s poetry is my most favourite collection of all. I won`d give up listening to that for a million bucks.

NFAK who was the younger one of many brothers and sisters and was first rejected by his father to be worth teaching music. His father used to teach a group of kids including his other sons. He will close the door and not allow NFAK inside the room but curious Nusrat would put his ears next to the gaps(cheethaN) in the door and windows and listen and grasp every word taught by his father about music. One day when his father came out suddenly for something he saw Nusrat clung to the window unaware that his father is out. His father took him inside and asked him to sing and learn to play harmonium. Rest is history.

Harpreet: There was famous Bhai Chaand who used to play kirtan in Golden Temple untill 47 and then he moved(or was made to) to Pakistan and that was end of Mardana tradition. There are still lot of traditional and classical Punjabi singers in Pakistan who have sung from gurbani particularly Alam Lohar and Shaukat Ali.

Hamidm

Now who is being lalloo paunjoo. The question that you have asked is taught at elementary classes of logic and philosophy as a classic example of Circular Reasoning. I think it actually kills the religion of rationalism and not the dogmatic one.

I wonder if you could refute ``Pascale`s Wager``-

hi aporup

welcome to chowk.

u shoulda mentioned the concert with mohd mehboob on our anniversary.

he was in mumbai (actually in pune) last week and asked if i could organise anything quickly at home, but usman (asian age`s racing correspondent) only told me a day before mohd was returning to hyderabad.

Dulla Bhatti#29 :

Thanks for the information about Bhai Chand. Last year I attended a wedding of a distant relative in Wolverhampton, (near Birmingham, UK) and a famous Pakistani film playback singer performed kirtan there (I forget her name.....). And of course, I had not known that this was referred to as the Mardana tradition in memory of one of Baba Nanak`s closest friends....thanks... :-)



Last night I opened a couple of bottles of wine and watched the Manchester concert of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan again. I have reproduced here part of the interview he conducted. The interview was in Punjabi, but I transcribed word for word the English subtitles that were provided.....



Questioner :

*Can you tell us about Qawalli and its origins?

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan :

* The tradition of Qawalli is more than one thousand years old. The tenth century Sufi saint Data Ganj Baksh wrote a well known book called ``The unveiling of the veiled`` in which he mentions Qawalli and its origins... Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Afghanistan are where the form originated. The languages used were from those regions, Arabic, Farsi and so on. The lyrics, mainly poetry, were generally expressions of mystical thoughts or songs in praise of God or the Prophet. The music came to India when Sufi saints came to preach in the 12th-13th century. Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti came from Afghanistan to India and settled in Ajmer, near Delhi. At this particular time, India was the cradle of civilisation. Chisti realised that the local people liked music and dance so he used Qawalli to promote Islam to the people in India. The musical form was not called Qawalli then, but `Sama`. Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti was followed by his disciples... Qutbuddin Bhaktiar Kaki, Baba Farid Ganj-Shakar, Nizamuddin Aulia, Amir Khusro, Alauddin Sabir of Kaliar. As members of the Chisti order of Sufis they nurtured this musical form. In particular, Amir Kusro made a very important contribution in this field, and in fact he is now regarded as the originator of Qawalli. Before him the word `Sama` was used, after him it was called Qawalli. He was an innovator. He used local languages such as Parbi and Bhasha for the lyrics. He invented new musical forms by combining Arabic and Turkish music with Indian ragas. He also invented new musical forms such as qaul, qalbana, tarana, naksh, and gul. He even included new instruments such as the sitar and the tabla. So all Qawallis are following in his footsteps. They all acknowledge Amir Khusro as their master....

It is this mix of conservatism and liberalism that sets you apart :)

(It IS a compliment)

eklavya #33,

thanks, to some this mix is irksome

I prefer the traditional forms of qawwali sans jhankar. But had it not been for this jhankar based music, many of us would not have been introduced and consequently devoted to the traditional qawwali music.

I agree with you scout, i can conclude that u have a really good humor.

love,

. . . actually, what is wrong about NAFK working out in be-bop or r&b or even (ho-hum) ``Disco`` . . . if he liked it and his listeners liked it and their tribe increased . . . how many of you know that NAFK is ``banned in Kashmir?`` Alongwith trousers and shirts and lipstick and eye-shadow and other such `orrible stuff . . .

Oh well . . .

Re # veeresh

[how many of you know that NAFK is ``banned in Kashmir?``]

Hot breaking news from Mr. Malik!!

Do you remember his previous scoop? when he went out in the streets of New Dehli to investigate Quran burning...... and reported back that no such thing has happened.......

Bangaru Laxman is not the only bay sharam Indian it seems.

A very well written piece. You`ve described his voice, his music, and his style very well. Please, ignore responses like those from Urstly, and other ``proud Muslims``.

To the author -

``I wonder if Allah has someone else in store for us. Yet. ``

Pls lend your ears to lesser known or practicaly unknown qawwals ``at the numerous dargahs that dot the Indian countryside``. I am sure you will find your next Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in many of them.

Re: Urstruly # 1

Urstruly, the correct spelling is ``herbivores`` and not ``herbivours``.

Just a word to the wise: relax; sometimes there is nothing to read between the lines.

On the other hand, your response might be nothing more than a reflection of your own insecurities about Islam, because after all, an empty vessel does make the loudest noise!

Dost Mittar Jee:

Thanks for your polite comments.

Amir Khusro`s poetry on Sawan is also very beautiful and was sung in a duo by Arifa Siddiqui and another female singer whose name I have forgotten. His words naturally come out like a song. The poetry that I have quoted is sung in a very interesting way: Nusrat[Late]sings the first line of each verse very emotionally; raising the listener`s blood pressure and then letting it go in the second one. Very Tricky. Dangerous for Kumzoar Dil Loag :-)

The following were few of my favorites. I will call them ``Pyari Verses.``

``Pari Paikar Nigaar-e Sarw Qadde Laala Rukhsare;
Sarapa Aafat-e Dil Bood Shab Jaay Ki Man Boodam.``

``Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau;
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.``

Also, the ones you have mentioned are very soft and pretty one!

I will strongly recommend Nusrat`s two romantically traditional numbers; if you haven`t already heard them. I am simply in love with them. In fact, I experienced a bout of joy after finding them, a while ago. And they still hold the same influence on me.

They`ll take you back to very old days. I cannot spell out, how far back, but in my mind I can envision that it`s many many decades or centuries back. It`s like one is part of a very real and true history - and a story is being told and one is a spectator. The dholki, the harmonium, the tablaa, and all the other participating musical instruments add to the awe and mystery created by these two numbers. They are so heavily enriched with sacred and simple expression that the listener is left with mixed emotions. The moment the first verse is recited the listener`s misery begins. The end does not bring any comfort either. It`s another beginning.

Haif!

Classic # 1
a)Chun Sujna Mor Muhaar
Chun Roa Roa Wajaan Maaran
Aa SaNwal Maerae....[Extended]Tae`noo Udeekaan
Chunna Shaam Sawaerae` Taenoo Udeekaan
[The beginning is so beautiful that it can bring tears to your eyes. It does!]

Classic # 2
b)Mun Utkiyaa Bae` Purvaah Dae` Naal
This is a very enigmatic, but a heavebly number. The emotions involved are extremely powerful and the lyrics are stimulating. The beauty lies in the delivery of the words and the fine combination of the instruments - that is where there is a clear fine line between the pop music background and the very traditional one.

The above two are not commonly found in all his CDs. The second one is in his CD, known as ``Rapture`` and in a few audio cassettes. I will prefer the audio cassette as it has the full qawwali than the CD that carries only a part of it. The first one, I have to give you the name later on, as I don`t have it handy.

I am sure that you will love them.


Take Care.
