This is not a song.. Its a Muslim's love for his Prophet PBUH. Thats why he is singing it so deep.

lyrics may be surprising, translation can't give real feel unless you know the language. like ''wine cups are filled''. poetry always gives different and relative meaning. wine translated is actually holy water that will be presented in heaven.

Hii This song is basically based on one of our holy places Madina, which is our beloved prophet Hazrat Mohammed (SAW)’s final home. All the lyrics are basically asking Allah to write Madina on our fate for atleast once so that we can go there and experience the beauty, the peacefulness, the miraculous feeling, and also so that we can meet our beloved beloved prophet. And about the Wine thing, the translation was kinda confusing cause he said ‘Sharbat’ which means juice not alcohol. So wine was meant as juice or some sort of that stuff but not alcohol. The meaning of that line based on my understanding was ‘the Sharbat glasses will be filled with just a gaze of Allah Subhanahuwatala. Hope that was informative.

Only ones who understand the meaning of the lyrics can acknowledge the value of this masterpiece . I love to hear it when I'm sad or depressed . This masterpiece can cleanse your soul ❤️

These are actually not lip synced, it’s a live performance

all coke studio pakistan songs are recorded live in a single take. no pre- or post-production editing. that, and the prodigious talent and production values, is what sets them apart from all their imitators.

The lady in green was so calm and actually this is such a soothing song it defenately transcends you to a divine place

well in that "wine-cup" line, the empty cups signifies all the pain n sufferings & when the ultimate looks up( as in if he even gazes in ur direction) all the cups will be filled as in all the sufferings n pain will be lifted.. that's the actual meaning there! whenever classical or sufi music is involved then there's always that deeper meaning & it's not always the direct lyrical meaning like it is in western music!!

i had the pleasure to subtitle this for coke studio as a technical contractor... got to listen to all the brilliant songs of season 8 weeks before they were released to public... it was a magical experience.. i would have legit done it for free had they asked... !!!

Their reaction on the word "nigah" i lost it 💀

That string instrument, it's called a "Rabbab", it's the cultural and traditional instrument of Afghanistan 🇦🇫( Pashtuns), it is played widely in Afghanistan and Pakistan

We are supposed to pay full respect & attention while listening to this....This is all about praising God( Allah) His Messenger ( Muhammad ) & this holy place ( Makka& Madina) place, where every Muslim wish to go & witness the home of Allah.....😊😊 This is sufi singing....love you guys, your reaction , absolutely natural...😊😊 God bless you all....Stay blessed 😇😊

Atif Aslam is one of the best singer of Asia He has a most unique magical voice that's why we called him the voice of Heaven

You should listen to more coke studio season 14 songs Like "go" , "sajan das na" , "yeh duniya" , "phir milengay" etc

Atif aslams voice always gives me goosebumps

The base guitarist is a legend and is famous for playing that way. Totally chilled!

Thanx to all of you For react on this qawali These lyrics are really near to all muslim people's hearts And MADINAH & MAKKAH are most respectable places on Earth ❤️🇵🇰🕋

The backing Vocals on this track are called "Qawwals" this particular song is actually a "Qawwali" which is traditional Sufi singing in south east Asia. Regarding that line about the "wine being released from a glance", this is a poetic metaphor. The singer/poetic is 3xpressing his Love for the prophet as being someone who is intoxicated with the wine of love. The glance from the beloved gaze would act as the most powerful intoxicant for the beloved.

This is one of my most favourite songs. I'm not Muslim, so I had to do some google searches & ask a few Muslim friends to understand the deep meanings. I listen to this on the treadmill on loop (15 minutes at 10 kmph, 1.5 level incline, 3 times every week, for anyone interested). I absolutely love this song. Cheers from India. 🇮🇳

This is how I understand the wine bit, the glass is a metaphor for our desires and wishes, and all could be fullfilled if lord(tajdar e haram) just gives u a glance(miniscule attention)

Hello, this video just popped up in my feed and I just had to leave a comment here for you. As you already mentioned, it is a cover and the original is composed by somebody else so I just wanted to give some more informationon that. The musicial aspect of the Qawwali (song) was composed over 40 years ago by the Sabri Brothers, they were the first. The lyrics used by the Sabri Brothers included lines from many different poems and literature in Pakistan/India. There's also 3+ languages here, Urdu, Persian, Arabic. The lyrics used in the Coke Studio version are a shortened down version of that. The music is also different in some areas of the song now, they definitely added some stuff in. Also there's a little difference in the instruments used, in the old days with Qawwali there would be Harmoiums (kinda like a mini organ), dholak (long drum), tabla (two round drums) those are the basics. The Sabri Brothers also used sitar (string), swarmandal (string), bongo drums. In the Coke Stuido version there are some of the traditional instruments with the addition of the piano and guitar etc. 1:52 This instrument is called a Rabab/Rubab :) 5:08 That's called a harmonium, he's right, very nice explanation too 14:40 I don't know much about Coke Studio's productions but most of the time they say "performed live" 17:20 Yes this is the style of old Qawwali, the main singers say the line the the chorus repeats it sometimes multiple times 18:25 When they say wine, they use it as a metaphor for spirituality 19:38 The original I've listed is 20+ minutes, usually in Qawwali there's a chorus so they can perform for longer, in the old days there would be live performances which could last up to 3 hours and the Sabri Brothers would perform song after song with little breaks in between Please please react to the Sabri Brothers version, it is like 40 years old so the video quality is bad and the sound quality isn't the best but you've got to just listen once. I think you'll prefer the Coke Studio version because you watched it first but also because it's more modern I guess but I would really appreciate it if you still listened to the original just once. The Sabri Brothers version is available here with an English translation available in the captions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TOxAPsgaQFs.html

all coke studio episodes are recorded live, they’re not pre-recorded

You guys are chill. Loved it.

finally a real and well detailed reaction you earned a sub

Living Legend Atifffffff with Beautiful Kalaam.. Our pride and icon 💕🇵🇰💕Coke studio Pakistan Amazing..

Thanks for your great Coke Studio reaction videos! I've been enjoying Coke Studio productions for years. I'm not a musician, but you have been validating my appreciation of what I've been listening to. Please consider reacting to one of CS's older videos featuring Ali Zafar. I especially like two of his duets. [Ali Zafar is a poet, singer, actor, producer and more. He also injects considerable personality into his art.] 'Ya Soch' is a duet in two of Pakistan's languages. Ali Zafar sings in Urdu and Natasha Khan in Pashto. In 'Ae Dil', Ali Zafar sings with Sara Haider. This song illustrates something quite common in India and Pakistan these days. Songs are partly in English and partly in Urdu (Pakistan) or Hindi (India). Thanks again! I'm happy I've discovered your channel.

You don't know about the culture we understand but it will be a great thing if you could research about the song and it's background ☺️ knowledge is good to share

Thanks for reaction, fyi this poem was all about praising our Beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH. ♡ we give high respect while listen Islamic poems. Lyrics worth to listen and understand, it shakes soul of us. Thanks again for reaction.

Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️

Who you people don't read before reacting. It's a live recording. Coke studio is famous for it. The performance are live and not edited. Retake can happen if something goes wrong

Heart❤. Looooooooooooooooved your reaction!!!! My fave song from him and in my top 5, for sure!

You've reuploaded this video Olrdy watched it few months back. Still happy to see the reactions again 🙈

and the string instrument is the "Rubab" an afghani instrument originally. but also use in indian music and very popular in Pakistan and Kashmir. those extra strings are sympathetic strings they resonate in background

thank you for such amazing reaction ❤ lots of love from pakistan 🇵🇰

listened to it alot of times and every time it gives the goosbumps

Green shirt Girl is Something Else, Man. How do i describe her? Won my Heart without even saying any Word.

Beautiful reaction ❤️

So everything is one take, they have rehearsals but the live is always one take. There are 4 background singers as well in a couple shots you can see the 4 of them, they’re a very popular group of singers which is why they were shown so much too. There is no lip syncing either, Aatif Aslam back in those days had that amazing voice, he doesn’t stretch it as much anymore but songs like Aadat he really showed how amazing his voice is. If you look up his older live performances he sounds exactly like he did in the video

Recommendations: If want to enjoy coke studio season-14, please make marathon video for the whole season with these guys.

Here wine and wine cups refers to many things in our language.another meaning for it is that your empty souls that are fed up of this world will become filled with love and hope by his mercy..♥️

I would love to see your reaction on "Phir Milenge", "Yeh Duniya", "Mehram" or "Go" but with the same crew please :) it is much more exciting when you have a wider audience and everybody gives their opinion and enjoys the music.

Cokestudio is only unique because it’s all live and surely they had rehearsals but the final production is always live. And that weird guitar like instrument is called Rubab

It will be nice to see a group reaction again. Hope you all get together for some more Coke studio, have already given a list of requests in my previous comment

The girl in green is really enjoying the naat e pak she is really very polite and loving Loved her reaction

if u listen to the Tabla live.. it sounds even better than the sound coming from ur speakers.. and the Tabla msaters do wonders with this instrument...

Refilling wine is used in a metaphorical way meaning all of ur desires will be fullfilled by just look of passion

The live vocals and musical compisition is SO GOOD that y'all having doubts if this lipsyncing or altered in post-prod. But it IS all live! It is that good!!

Great reaction❤ just to clarify all coke studio are live performances that includes backup singers and all the instruments! So no voice or instrument voice overs!!! It’s all pure live talent ❤❤❤

Great performance by Atif Aslam and the band. A very serious episode of musicians react but a lot of humor between all the participants. Too funny. Thanks for sharing.

You five are fantastic five and very decent people specialy the two ladies .i like your reaction .❤❤❤

Tablas were used by Paarl Jam inany of their outings after they worked on "Natural Born Killers" soundtrack with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. If you look up their song "Corduroy" live in some school set up, you will see them using Tablas and Sitar. They are trying to use them as bongo drums but nonetheless the drummer at that time Jack Stevens irons did a great job with them.

This song is meant to be soothing to ears because it is expressing emotions for our prophet and holy pilgrimage to Madina.

atif voice means...no autotune.

Your reaction was good. Feel good to see your perspective

He makes it look effortless, he is that good.

The string instrument is called RUBAB and its a kind of native instrument to Pakistan and Indian regions... Its a very sweet instrument it has 18 to 19 strings very difficult to master there are very few people who masters it in this region...

Atif Aslam voice & song ❤

His performance in IIFA 2016. IS GREAT

Its a LIVE PERFORMANCE after so many rehersals

I know you guys are enjoying yourself.But i wish you truely knew the lyrics amd the language then you would have cried.Overall a great reaction.Keep up the good work guys.

It's called "Rabab" a traditional musical instrument 🎸 and mostly famous for Pushto Music 🎶

Reaction on Arijit Singh dua song mtv live

Filling up with wine is an analogy here, that your one glance is so impactful like filling glasses of wine .

If you see Atif performing live on stage you would know this is a piece of cake for him

Atif is legendary Singer ❤️

The traditional guitar 🎸 is called Rubaab, which is related to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 culture, Pathans usually use it in every events

yes it is recorded, not live.. but recorded in a singke take... they prepare very well for the recording day... and give their best shot in that single take... it was produced in this way by a very famous band named 'The Strings'

I feel proud I'm Muslim and I'm Pakistani ❤🇵🇰 too much love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Atif Aslam Legends of Pakistan 🥳❤❤❤❤

Amazing

atif alsam is one of the world most famous singer in the world

If you guys can't understand difference between song Naat and Qawali so you not reacts on religious things react on songs only this is Naat Shareef is religious so for ours lyrics only matter not drum and instrument.

This is an Islamic naat/qawali and Coke Studio is shot live. It’s a very famous naat and this is Atif’s cover. It talks about one’s desire and hope to visit Medina, the Prophet’s resting place and the peace that will bring. Backing singers are a staple in Qawali. One of my all time favourites, this time in Atif’s voice, beautiful and always makes me cry as the lyrics are so touching! 🙏🏼❤️

How many scene in 2024❤

Would love the entire gang's reaction on the song AFREEN AFREEN of Coke Studio's earlier season.

I don't if it has already been answered but the string instrument is Rabab and it heavily features in Pashto music!! Every Coke Studio song has behind the scenes where they talk about and show the whole process and the rehearsals to and the live recordings.

All coke studio songs inculding this cavali is amazing.

THEY PLAY LIVEEEEEEEE.

It's called a Harmoniam, similar to Accordion. The guitar lookalike instrument in the beginning is called "Rabab".

amazing

Melodious voice ❤

The box shape musical instrument with keyboard on it is harmoniums and the one with strings is Rubaab.

Surprising Fact: The front row space in Atif Aslam's live show in USA costs $2500.

What are true genuine and honest reaction from you guys I should call you "fantastic 5"💯🌹😘🥰

It reminds me of when I traveled from Dubai to mecca & medina by Road

The guitar like instrument is known as "sarode" and that is a marvelous instrument indeed ❤

you guyz r awsm lots of love from pakistan ❤

You guys are awesome

Osm superb

The cap guy was right about the harmoniam and by the way the guitar like thing is called Rabab, it’s Pashtoon traditional instrument.

Atif aslam sings with a straight face always in his live performances... always seems singing effortlessly... once he told in an interview that this was suggest by a legendary female singer named as 'noor jahan' that while performing ur effort must not reflect on ur face, they practiced in that way to look good while performing...

Great Video.

Good luck guys
