Coke Studio Season 9| Meri Meri| Rizwan Butt & Sara Haider 

The instrumental music played at 4:22 is so magical. So proud of Pakistanis and their talent!

At 4:23...You are in Ireland... Bulley Shah in Celtic rhythms....Genius...

true reality of life.. best singing....by Pakistani singer. love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

" Come, Bulleh Shah, let's go to a place where everyone is sightless Where no one asks us about our lineage, and no one reveres us..." Superb verses, born out of Baba Bulleh Shah's shining wisdom...

Ooh, why so much hate for Sufi Rock, folks? And that Celtic flute at 04:25 was blissful. As a whole, fantastic composition!

Bulleh shah was not only a good writer of very good Punjabi Sufi lyrics but also was a great philosopher about social and personal life and its implications and the insight he had about this temporary life. His greatness is forever as his philosophical lyrics are still sung by great singers and appreciated by all to this day in Pakistan and India as well.

soo bueatyful voice.. i am your big fan sir. coke studio love you from india

A blend of modern pop, sufi lyrics and a dash of Irish folk music. Only in Pakistan

Hats off to whoever translated this song!!! (Turn on captions)!! Literally I am crying for an hour 😭😭😍😭

Feeling proud to be Punjabi after listing this melodic writing by Baba Bullay Shah. Its superbly sung and equally good composed. Hats off

The flute part is just mindblowing, I get goosebumps everytime I listen to it

Wow, que hermosos sonidos, felicidades por darle vida a tandos sonidos tan bellos. Gracias desde Puerto Rico

4:23 to 5:30 i just love the section. HOw tremendously they played Violin. HATS OFF

At 3:46 it gives me goosebumps in all seasons of coke studio these two person killed it i have heard it more then 100 times still looking for more

This show attract music lover's😍 that's why I loved it 💓

This performance is a proof that No one can beat Coke studio Pakistan... Hats off to all crew... Lots of love and support

How many of u remember sara haider from last season's hit ''aea dil'' with ali zafar??

Goosebumps, the mssg it delivers sets perfectly perfectly with the model of Gurbaani. Loved it, sometimes i just wanna be in Pakistan.....idk, feels like....it's very beautiful

What a nice salad full of melodic and carefully crafted arrangements... Buleeh Sha´s poems and pakistan sounds full of western rock spices ...( David Guilmour/Carlos Santana guitar references) latin american percussion( Cajón), english keyboards, swiss mikes, tchecoslovakian violinos...celtic flutes. Music knows no barriers, only man´s dualistic mind. Some may claim this season 9 is too much ecletic and lost the point...other may applause for the new pointed directions. Fusion?

Ой как я рад встрече и знакомству! Музыка и исполнение просто браво!

Instrumental break @4:22 is absolutely enthralling! Much love from these United States!

Mysticism of Celtic music blended with the divinity of a Sufism...perfecto

What an energy and power in this song!!!!!!! Salute from Bangladesh..

Celtic meets Mystic/Sufi Flute meets Keyboard Guitar meets Tabla the husky, heavy voice of Rizwan Butt and the ensuing Sufi dedication meets supple and soothing voice of Sarah Haider. The result is a power packed rendition.

Loved seeing Rubeus Hagrid as lead singer .

normally i don't like indian.. but after reading their comment i have respect from them,, coz they are also same people as we are ... love from a PAKISTANI to entire INDIA :)

Sarah was sure good as a backing vocalist in previous seasons but i have to say she stands out as a singer as well. she is impeccable :)

Very well sung with gret background singers as well. And Bulleh Shah's best philosophical thinking in lyrics.

4:23 for a moment I thought I am listening to a score of The Corrs. Kudos to the violinist.

That Irish instrumental is the strength of this song.

Amazing.... Sitting here in the UK.... the bit on the Flute (4:25) makes me want to River Dance.... Superb Singers, Superb Musicians...

You have to listen it several times to let it grow on you, and once that is done...this is just one epic rendition of Bulleh Shah mystic and mesmerizing poetry. Yes high pitch song need high volume as well to get all the nuances...how ironic i didn't liked the song initially and written against it, but now it is my favorite.

Meri Meri is a collection of three brilliant monolith parts - Rizwan Butt's Sufi portion, Sara Haider's western rendition of the same and the Celtic musical portion clearly 'inspired' from 'Toss the Feathers' by The Corrs! However it's the fusion that doesn't work for me! Perhaps it was quite ambitious and a stretch to fuse these distinctively different genres. The arrangement is quite catchy and it grows on you progressively as the composition proceeds with Rizwan's part. Starting with just the humble acoustic guitar, the maracas and backing vocalists come in at 00:14, cajon at 00:40, the bass-line 00:57, the drums in full flow at 01:12, banjo at 01:15, keys at 01:18 and finally strings at 01:37. And before you know it a beautiful musical air fills you around Rizwan's vocals. And wait that's not it! There is a beautiful lead guitar solo at 01:56 not to be missed sort of acting as a glue to Sara Haider's western part to follow! Overall Rizwan Butt comes off as a contemporary singer missing the subtle classical elements which I would have loved to see! (One can't help but compare this with Ahmed Jahanzeb from Khaki Banda who too sang one portion of this poetry so soulfully in that composition!) Sara brought to the table what she is best in - a western singing style in a blues genre musical arrangement. The arrangement too mellows down from all the grandeur that was built over the last 2 minutes to make way for Sara's enchanting vocals. With an incredibly wonderful debut show in 'Ae Dil' I only hoped that Sara had a better composition to showcase her talent! The composition climaxes with a celtic musical piece on flute by Sajid Ali which was more than just 'inspired' as I mentioned earlier. But as a consolation, it was brilliantly done with the strings section, keys and backing vocalists accompanying. Overall a collection of individual brilliance that didn't add up together for me like it usually does on this platform. But then it's a very personal thing. Won't be surprised if I meet people for whom this song would have clicked just perfectly! So do give it a try and share what you think! :)

I don't have words for bulleh shah ji's teachings..& coke studio rejuvenate the essence with its composition. I love bullehshah ji & coke studio thanks for rejuvenation

The instrumental patch from 4:22....Amazingggg!!!

I was expecting much more from Rizwan Butt after listening to his song in Nescafe Basement. This guy is a powerhouse I am not a producer or director but still guess that this guy can do much more than this.

Maffiii Sara heider.. She got telent.. So much potential. .

thanx a lot coke studio for creating such a soulful and melodious song...

Bollywood can use these beautiful singers much more!! Awesome performances by each singer in all episodes. Big Fan of #CokeStudio.

RB rendered his lines true to his forte .the flutist's mettle showed in his performance.well done .

char dinaa da mela, duniya pher mitti di dheri ( a momentary circus of mortals, this world, will turn into dust in 4 days).. DAMN.

The only thing better than people playing good music is people visibly enjoying themselves while playing good music :)

I think this song is amazing! Don't know what everyone is complaining about. If you don't like it or find it annoying or don't like punjabi, then simply don't fucking listen to it, simple as that! The reality is that naturally, us desi's will always have something negative to say.

One of my favourite CS songs!!! I just love it and feel sad at the same time thinking why is this so underrated 🥺 Rizwan butt is fire 🔥🔥

Looks like all the worlds music critics have descended on this page. Just enjoy the music folks. If you can.

I Love Sara Haider & Flute Player Very Much As A Big Enthom Fane...

4:23 Heaven ❤️ I can feel that Celtic music. i.e "The Gael"

That flute took my soul

What!!! Seriously Toss The Feathers from the Corrs 4:23 i think the best use of my fav melody

Salute to the composer ..... Amazing song amazing

Meri Meri Meri Meri

No, it doesn't copy Cross. It adapts the tune and transforms it into ecstasy. Great job!

around 4:41 I loved touch of Irish music as I love Irish music. Over all it is a good mixture of different musics and it will keep you listening even if you want to stop it, it will keep you not to turn it off and finish it before you even know it.

wow, Gimli from lord of the ring made it into Coke Studio!!

powerful voice, best expressions, the girl is so classy. Best drumer Pakistan you Nailed it !!

Extraneus, fantastic, soul-touching, absorbing, harmonious music of high quality... Shukriya :)

this song sums up the whole season....itna bnda ml kr is ism ka song bna rahan han teri meri meri meri teri...bla blaa 

Brilliant performance by the entire team

Coke studio ne Rizwan butt ke talent ka fayeda nhi utaya from an indian

I think coke studio deserves Oscars... Like if you agree...

nescafe to coke...thats rizwan butt. I really like this guy

that old violinist looks so serious and intense!

Every musical instrument stands out and carves a niche for the whole of coke studio 9

Aaha Nayani at 0:24 is all of us hahaha !! i just love sara

People who are saying that most of the songs this season have same kind of music need to listen carefully, there is literally so much distinctive quality this season.

Once More Master Piece By CS Rizwan made my day Bulleh Shah ka kalam or kiya chaiye #CokeStudio9

All singers and musicians played in this song are just amazing

why do most of the songs has same kind of music

4:23 se jo music start hota hai dil ko sukoon mil jata hai yrr

Music feels that as im listening to an old English Celtic song!
