Abida Parveen & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan 'Chaap Tilak' [Coke Studio] REACTION!! 

What other videos should we react to???

Pakistani Coke Studio is one of the best .... We Indians admire and respect it a lot !!!!

Chhaap Tilak Sab Chheeni (چھاپ تلک سب چھینی) was written and composed by Amir Khusro, Sufi Mystic, back in the 14th century. which means, what you are listening to has been transferred as an oral tradition from generation to generation for 700 years. Here is your real connection with history. Without Amir Khusro, there would be no Hindustani Classical Music, in the way we know it today. Khusro also invented the Sitar. He took the traditional two-headed drum, the pakhawaj (which till date is used with dhrupad music) sliced it down the middle into two independent drums, thus birthing the tabla. Muslims who pray five times a day, can get a mark on the forehead, where over the years, it has come into contact with the floor. This is called the 'chhap' The 'tilak' is a religious mrak, usually of sandlewood paste that a Hindu might wear on his forehead, more or less in the same place where the chhaap appears for the Muslims. The sufis were mystics...saints whose understanding of the supreme being transcended the boundaries of a particular religion. They often converse with the supreme being like one would converse with their lover. Their relationship with god was tender and effervescent... almost romantic in nature. Here Khusro says, the moment he/she (god )lay eyes on him, he has forgotten about the chhaap or the tilak and has simply surrendered to love. I summarise, of course. Because you can talk for a lifetime about every sentense Khusro wrote.

Coke studio is the best thing that Pakistan has given to the world... What you are watching is a poem by 13th century poet and Sufi mystic Hazrat Amir Khusrau whose rendition is performed by these two great singers....he's probably the first Sufi to have used music and lyrics in Indigenous Braj bhasha to propagate the message of love and peace...

The only reason Rahat was aggressive here is because he was being competitive. Singing along with Abida Parveen isn't a joke. She wasn't aggressive here. You should check when she goes into trance. Rahat knows that and thats why he had to put his best performance here.

Abeeda Parveen is one of the greatest sufi singers of the present day...

Coke studio saves us from stupid annoying recent songs 😍😍

Its a three thousand years old civilization guys.. You can't imagine the amount of secret treasures hidden within it.. 😉

You've taken away my look (chaap), my identity (tilak), and everything(sub) from me by looking into my eyes. You've said the unsaid (adham = secrets of divine nature), just by a glance. By making me drink the love of devotion. You've intoxicated me by just a glance; My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles on them, Have been taken off by you with just a glance. I give my life to you, Oh my cloth-dyer, You've dyed me like yourself, by just a glance. I give my whole life to you Oh, Nizam, You've made me your bride, by just a glance. You've said the wonder, by just a glance.

Also one of most beautiful Rahet Fateh Ali Khan songs is "O Re Piya" and it stars Madhuri Dixit.....please watch it with subtitles,the lyrics and music are heavenly.....and another beautiful song is "Bol Na Halke Halke"....both these songs have a special place in all our hearts and provide comfort whenever we listen to them

Rick korbi : wow rahat is amazing Nusrat fateh ali khan : hold my surrrrrrrr (if you can)

Do not know why tears started flowing from my eyes. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

She's the queen and living legend of Sufi music.

I see Pakistani Coke Studio. I click immediately. ♥️

You are now introduced to another legend. Abida Parveen ♥️

I am sad for you and other music loving guys which don't know our language.....you guys have no idea what you are missing from your life..... Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 🇵🇰 Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali khan 🇵🇰 Madam Abida Parveen Sahiba 🇵🇰

There are two types of Singers exist on universe 1. NFAK 2. OTHERS

Abida parveen is the living legend of the sufi music industry and rahet fateh ali is the nephew of the famous nusrat fateh ali

Pakistan and India both are blessed with best singers of the world they internalise the music in life like soul in the body.

Oh my God! This had me in tears....much love to Coke Studio Pakistan, from Sri Lanka!!

Fun fact: Rahat started singing at the age of 6 and his first on-stage live performance was at the age of 9

I just love Abida Parveen. This brings so many memories back. Thank you for reacting to this and take me back to my drawing room, where my father used to sit and listen to Abida Parveen on the cassette player.

That's the Pakistani guy every indian loved❤️

No disregard to you both, but, I felt great pride by looking at you moving your heads rhythmically on the music, without even knowing the deepest thoughts and meaning of the song. Had you been accustomed with the words meaning and their actual thoughts behind the meaning of the words, your life would have gained a lot. It's like someone finding a rare and precious wine and he washed his hands with this precious thing without even knowing that how much he missed. I personally respect all of you people listening the songs of our great singers, but it would be much beneficial to you all if you first get the meanings and references of the songs. Good luck for your future ventures.🙏🙏

Guys you need to check out "Bol Hu" nescafe basement... This is something that you would enjoy a lot... its a sufi track like chaap talak

Hats off to whoever recommended this precious song. ♥️

WHY DON'T YOU GUYS SEE SUBS FOR COKESTUDIO VIDEOS!! U missed for Afreen Afreen too! Lyrics are the soul of these songs! WHY KORBIN WHY?!

Abeeda Parveen's voice brings feelings with story to a song. As always, Rahat fateh ali is always lovely to watch.

This type of Music is called Sufi Music. which is about Love, You can say about the highest level of Love. and that love could be with your GOD. It is the state where you forget about the world, you are out of this world, you think deep, you don't care about anything going around you, you don't even notice these little things. your mind is another world. And Similarly Sufi Music, makes you feel that state. it connects you to that world. that state. and this can only be felt, you cant explain this feeling. Just listen Sufi music like this one. with headphones on, and when you are alone somewhere. You will forget about everything around you , will feel that amazing state for sometime. You will be so relaxed after listening to it.

watch his performance on Nobel Peace Concert where he performed "Raag" for that year's Nobel Peace Prize winners Malala Yusufzai and Kailash Satyarthi...it was so awesome

ALWAYS switch on the subtitles when you react to a Coke Studio song. Without understanding the lyrics of these gorgeous creations, your experience will always remain incomplete.

I'm totally into love with Pakistani music Purely in love with the lvl of excellence and perfection

Without knowing lyrics you can't feel the essence of song. It reduces to half but u can feel the music

Finally!!!!! Are we back to doing coke studio again? If we are, I am in!!!!

Two legends in a single frame.

This is what you get when two connoisseurs jam together... just Pure Magic!

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen are the most soulful voices ever produced in Pakistan.

Rahat Sahab is legendary, but Abida Parveen is a once-in-a-generation vocalist who's the mascot of a whole genre of music - SUFI !!! Music is an instrument of the soul, not a circus trick. Focus more on the soulfulness of the auditory bliss, not flashy vocal variations !

Watch the song "Bol hu". It's fabulous and sung by an 8 yr old girl!!

What an honest reaction channel! I feel like I'm watching with you both..you guys are great!!

My god Rick looks so much handsome in the Kurta!!! ❤️❤️

Everyone else already said it, but I’m happy that you’re finally enjoying another Coke Studio 🇵🇰 song! You don’t do that enough, really. It’s such a treasure of great music, that you should ideally react to a Coke Studio 🇵🇰 every fortnight. Consider scheduling it in your planning. 😋 And I’m also aware that everyone else is saying it, and I’m just repeating it because it’s important: TURN THE LYRICS ON!! 📣💥🌪🧨😫 If you enjoyed hearing Abida Parveen, who is a legend by the way, please also watch the Coke Studio 🇵🇰 songs “Aaqa” (which she performed with the tremendously talented Ali Sethi) and “Dost”. Speaking of Ali Sethi, you should REALLY, REALLY watch his videoclips as well. “Chan Kithan” and “Chandni Raat” in particular. 🥰 The songs are not just utterly beautiful, but the clips are thought-provoking as well. I have so many songs in my mind from Coke Studio 🇵🇰 that I want you to react to as well: “Rang” by Hadiqa Kiani, “Bewajah” by Nabeel Shaukat, “Paar Chanaa De” by Noori & the wonderful Shilpa Rao, many more. ♥️💐🥳 Oh yes, one other thing: if you guys really liked Chaap Tilak, then there is - among millions - another wonderful version sung by the terrific Richa Sharma on some Indian competition tv show revolving around singing performances. I think the tv show was called Dhoom Macha De, and the jury members were Shankar Mahadevan, Sharmila Tagore, and Prasoon Joshi. Malaika Arora was the presenter. Do look it up! 🤩

When Rahat Sahab started singing:- Rick : 😣 Korbin: 😮 😂😂😂

With you all respect I really honored that I am part of these great songs of coke studio seasons as head of audio, whenever I saw these reactions of different people I was crying and only thanks to ALLAH PAK to gives me that opportunity and thanks to all who loves our work ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Abida is so expressive, looks like she's talking. Love it.

Rahat and Abida are Pakistani legends

Amazing reaction. Thanks for introducing me to this song. Coke Studio Pakistan always amazes me..Love it. Love all the way from India.

Respect and love to my neighbors... God level performance... Rahat jee you are next to Almighty... 🙏 from India🇮🇳

I do not know why.. tears come out from the eyes of Rahat Saab songs...He is a great personality and also a great human being. We consider all the musician of #Pakistan as #Indians because love them a lot. We should spread love all over the world..like these gentlemen.

According to the musical tradition of Indian subcontinent, being perfect in pitching and rythm is the most primary thing for a musician, sound quality comes only after that. Thats why u may find the greatest musicians of India maynot always have the perfect sound. But they'll never be out of pitch or beat.

Omggg!!! They listened to abida parveen!!!! ❤❤❤ You guys should also react to gulzar and abida parveen's - kabir!

Chaapp Tilak Sab Cheeni , is a Ghazal written and composed by Amir Khusro, a 14th-century Sufi mystic, in popular Western Indian language Braj Bhasha. Due to the resonance of its melody and mystical lyrics, it is frequently heard in Qawwali concerts across South Asia. Chaapp Tilak Sab Cheeni is considered as Amir Khusru‘s most known Kalam which is basically a penned version of his imagination of devotion and the joy of oneness with the eternal one. ❤️

Thank you guys for this..my all-time fav rendition with the revered duo ❤️ I had the privilege to watch Abidaji live in Feb 2020...unreal experience! 🌹

When He Sing We Don't need Any Instruments... 🇮🇳

Coke studio is a perfect blend of classical and western music ....ar Rahman...u will get the best of indian classical here.❤

That’s was unbelievable, loved it so, so much. Loved your reaction guys. You have a new sub

Really wish you guys had the subs on. Some surreal spiritual stuff going on in the lyrics

This one has lovely lyrics... Best part is it was written by Amir Khusrau around 11-12th century and people are actually listening to it now also.

I think you should react to nusrat fateh ali khan now it's high time . The legend

You both are great 👍🏼 Awesome reactions from you both... Glad I saw your reactions cuz they are the best...

Abida Parveen and Rahet are legends and I am from India but love these Pakistani singers. They are simply legends ,no other word can describe them.. love from India

It's from Pakistan. Both singers and coke studio. They are amazing and talented

You should react to the original Afreen Afreen, sung by his uncle Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Saab.

This was the song I used to listen every day back in my early 30’s. I can still connect to my memories ( mostly walking out of very less populated suburb) while listening this song. “Kabewali gali which yaar da makan” was the one I used to play after this song.

We feel proud to hear Rahat sir. My generation will always remember you. Love from India...

Ohhh GOOSEBUMPS..... KESARIYA BALAM, folk song of RAJASTHAN, must listen.. "SHANKAR MAHADEVAN sang some best classical songs." He is a south Indian but sings in hindi as well as in marathi language.

react to " wohi khuda ha " coke studio and "Tajdaar e haram " coke studio

I ve watched this reaction video like 18 times and it was for Rick's reactions

u guys r the most understanding and genuine reactors to coke studio iveseen who r in the west. like u have so much knowledge of everything and u take it so serious and ur reactions and the things u notice are just so genuine, Hope ur channel grows more, lots of love from pakistan

Okay you guys, go for Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab, uncle of Ustad Rahat, he is the godfather of ALL THIS, his voice, his range, everything is incomparable.

Korbin: What other Coke Studio songs should we react to? Stupid Babies: Madari.😑

Priceless reaction. Yous got the feels from their voices.

Always turn on Subtitles so you understand actual meaning. As these lyrics are very meaningful and important to understand soul of love. PS Coke Studio has subtitles in all of its songs.

You should listen with the subtitles, coke studio has subtitles in three languages i.e. Hindi, Urdu and English

U got only 0.0001% of this song it will take life to understand poetry and when sufi singer sung this it will take into other dimension .....

Such dad, such son. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan you're still keeping that grace high. Love and respect from an Indian brother.

Love to see that you guys enjoying it

Goodness... Finally you did react to the masterpiece

Madam Abida always send me in another dimension

No matter how far we are separated by our governments, we will always be tied together by our music 🎶 i love Rahat jee however when Abida jee sings, it connects my soul to the lord. God bless her with health ❤️❤️❤️

Respect 🙏🙏🙏 only music can unite this world ♥️ music from India-Pakistan is something else 😇 I am not saying other genres are less but the technicalities involved in the music coming from these two countries is unmatchable ♥️

This is a bond between India and Pakistan , Hindu and Muslim , though we try to be different from each other ,but actually we r one people ,not Just us but the whole world .

After that Office's Indian version video.. this is such a relief 🙏🙏❤

I just love your reactions and way you enjoy the track ...

Wowzer!!! No words to describe this performance. I am blown away.

I would love to see you guys react to "Gulon mein rang" coke studio by ali sethi. With the subtitles on, which comes in urdu, english and the romanji version.

Thanks for reacting to this !

One heck of a Combination 👍👍🙏 May there be peace always 🇵🇰🇮🇳🙏❤

After that cringe office comparison video this one is much needed blessing😯

I hope you guys put the captions on, the translation is pretty spot on

Your videos r my only source of entertainment during corona quarantine

Really appreciate you guys for what you do . You should listen to his uncle , Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan he will blow away your mind . Why the way both the singers are from Pakistan . And this kind of songs are called sufi , or in other words soulful. The lady is Abida Parvin she is my favourite . RESPECT .............

React to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's videos. He was the teacher of Rahet Fateh Ali Khan. He is at another level.

Loved Rick's face expressions 😍 He was soo into the song!!

One of my favorite songs from coke studio......mesmerizing 🙏

I am in the another world during listening to these legends

Oh my stars. I cannot believe my eyes and ears. I can finally die in peace now!!!! But I won't cuz there's a lot I need to see you react to yet 🤣

God it is literally one of my favorites...hats off to these two and obviously the one who actually made this....Amir Khusro 🖤🖤🖤 this song has my soul

Pure bliss. Music has no boundaries nor identity. Just music.

The pitch perfect singing and the smooth analog traversing of notes comes from training in Indian classical music. This song is actually based on Raga Yaman
