Sanson Ki Mala Pe Simron pe mika naam || Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan || Orignal Recording #nfak

"Sanson Ki Mala Pe" (literally: "On the Rosary of Breath") is one of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's most famous and beloved songs, a devotional piece that bridges religious and cultural divides through its universal theme of love and surrender to the divine.  Key Descriptions Origin: The lyrics are widely attributed to the 16th-century Rajput princess and Hindu mystic Meerabai, who wrote numerous bhajans (Hindu devotional songs) in devotion to Lord Krishna (her "Priyatam" or beloved). This makes it unique within NFAK's predominantly Sufi Qawwali repertoire, though its themes of intense, personal love for the divine resonate strongly with Sufi mysticism. Meaning: The central metaphor, "Sanson ki mala pe simroon main pee ka naam" (On the rosary of my breaths, I chant the name of my beloved), expresses a profound spiritual connection where every moment and every breath is an act of worship and remembrance of the divine. It's a powerful expression of all-consuming devotion that transcends religious boundaries. NFAK's Rendition: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's powerful and soulful Qawwali rendition popularized the song immensely in modern times. He first performed it in India during his inaugural visit in 1979 at the wedding of Rishi Kapoor, where it became an instant classic. His version showcases his signature improvisational style and ability to convey deep emotion, making it a staple in both Qawwali concerts and Hindu devotional gatherings. Impact: The song is celebrated for its ability to unite people across different faiths due to its universal message of love and devotion. Its timeless appeal has led to numerous cover versions and reinterpretations in various genres, including film soundtracks and even heavy metal fusion, introducing it to new global audiences.  Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's rendition of "Sanson Ki Mala" remains a masterpiece of devotional music, cherished for its spiritual depth and emotional power.  #nfak #qawwaliyan #qawali #nfakqawwali #song #love
