Shabnum Majeed sings Iqbal - La phir ik baar wohi Bada-o-Jam

Another poem by Allam Iqbal, sung by Shabnum Maheed. I don't understand the words but feel that it must be good. :>

Shabnum Maheed was singing the traditional Pakistani songs with a wish to restore the glory, the zenith, the moral values and the humanity found in Pakistan's remote past.

I wish her all the success in bringing the old time grace and beauty back to Pakistan.

Cheers.

dua (prayer) - Lab pe aati hai dua...

One of the Best poem from Parkistan that I've ever heard.

The song moved me to tears.

Beautiful, simple, longing, pure.

...............
English translation as follows:

My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine O God!
May like the candle be the life of mine!

May the world's darkness disappear through the life of mine!
May every place light up with the sparkling light of mine!

May my homeland through me attain elegance
As the garden through flowers attains elegance

May my life like that of the moth be, O Lord!
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Lord!

May supportive of the poor my life's way be
May loving the old, the suffering my way be

O God! Protect me from the evil ways
Show me the path leading to the good ways

.........

Take my breath away.
Remind me of Tagora's Poem.

"Let only that little be left of me,
where I shall name you,
My ALL."

May peace, blessings, kindness reign in the world

Devotional Singing from various cultures / religions

As a personal interest, I have explored the fields of Devotional singing.
I have found that devotional singing exist in all religions and cultures.

When I hear a song of a devotional nature,
the poems of Reknown Indian Poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941)
came into mind : ) : )

“When thou commandest me to sing
it seems that my heart would break with pride;
and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.

All that is harsh and dissonant in my life
melts into one sweet harmony
–and my adoration spreads wings
like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.

I know thou takest pleasure in my singing.
I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.
I touch by the edge of the far spreading wing of my song thy feet
which I could never aspire to reach.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself
and call thee friend who art my lord. "
……….

To promote appreciation of devotional music from different religions/cultures,
I’ll share some devotional music from various cultures.
[I’ve enjoyed all of them. They are the best I’ve heard so far : ] : ) ]
