Rang | Coke Studio PAKISTAN | GERMAN Rappers' Reaction | Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Amjad Sabri 

U got to RESPECT cojaks efforts of trying to understand the culture….. he’s giving a chance to try and understand something that is out of his comfort zone….. RESPECT C!

Dude did his homework and is trying to learn. Mad respect. You went from someone who knew “Allahu Akbar” only from terrorists etc, to actually taking your time to research and understand. Greetings from Amsterdam. 🇳🇱 And don’t be shy to google stuff while reacting.

Amjad Sabri late is the son & successor of a great Qawali Haji Ghulam Fareed Sabri Qawali.

Forst of all, huge respect for your keenness of learning about sufi culture and how the play of words and innuendos work in sufi urdu poetry. Nizammuddin and khusrau aur very respected poets and spiritual leaders in sufism. Wedding in spirituality sense is often taken as a time of meeting/feeling the connection to Allah in overnight prayers. The mention of being colored to the color of Holy prophet and saints means the molding of our inner selves as to what God and His Prophet intended. Being selfless and detached from desires of this world and becoming devoted to Allah and His commandments. Mention of O mother is completely a play on words and is a cultural thing when talking so dearly about something. Like (o man, I'm really in love with that girl) And in sufi poetry there's often gender switch to portray the love towards almighty like how a woman's love towards her husband is. Metaphorically speaking. There's a great use of metaphors that sound very odd to a new listener and a person from another region/language. But it's common in Urdu especially sufi urdu poetry. And at the end, Gokul and Mathura are 2 historically old cities of knowledge and study.

Being a Muslim and a Pakistani even I could not understand somethings, so I listened this track over and over again to understand it. For you it's totally normal to be confused. Love you from Pakistan

The other guy Amjad Sabri, was successor to one of the greatest Qawals of Pakistan, May he rest in peace. Legend

Starting of, the poem is written by the same guy, Khausrao, who wrote Chaap Tilak, so you can draw parallels with what is the basis of story behind this song as well. A Hindu girl is informing about her mother how is was baffled by the colour i.e. the spirituality and piousness of Khawaja Nizamuddin Auliya, one of the greatest Saint or Wali, friend of God,( back story, the names mentioned in the song are of walis of India, such as Chisti, Ala uddin , according to Sufist traditions, some of the people who are God fearing and excellent in their character are selected by God to become saints or Walis, who spent all their life spreading the message of Islam and converting non-Muslims to the true way through peaceful means and presenting them with miracles bestowed upon them by God, however it is to be noted they do not have position similar to any of God's prophet and it is up to yourself whether you should accept they were really like what they are described) and after marrying him, she realised the wrongdoings of her religion as she mentions how she have travelled all over the India and the world, but she did not found the same inspiration she found from glancing at Nizamuddin, as she mention Mathura and Gokul, places which has deep religious significance to Hindus. Poets are sneaky so they make their poems to be intercepted as multiples things rather than singular topic. FYI, Muhammad PBUH is the seal of the prophets and no prophet will ever come after him. Sufism calls that inspiration was transferred from Muhammad (his cloak mubarik) to his son in law Maula(master) Ali, and thereby to his family ( Shia calls them the 12 imams) and then to all the Walis (preferred to being member of family of Ali, Ahl-e-Bath) through some chain of succession, which people are telling you about in the comments.

We Always welcome you from the deep of our hearts ❤️ Pakistani people have very hospitable and generous.. just come to Pakistan ☺️ You will see the beauty of heart in Pakistan ❤️

Mad respect for actually trying to understand the cultural background on this bro!

This is about divine love. You can imagine in any way you want. These sofi songs are just amazing

Nijamuddin Auyliah: The closest thing in west/Christianity would be saint. He was a Pir/Auliah/saint. In sufi style, everything is about love and devotion. That's why sometimes it sounds like the devotee is singing about his lover and sometimes it's about someone who's God's favorite.

wow i am on tV 😁 (my comment was in your video) Thanks man for the reaction and yes this song is amazing

Too good review and I learned so much about this song just because of you and they both are our Pakistani legends but we missed alot Late Amjad Sabri may Allah rest in peace Love from Pakistan ❤️

So Beautiful Qawali 2 Legends 😍

Check out Kangna Abu Mohammed Fareed Ayaz Coke Studio. The Tempo and Rhythym is very complicated in this one. Try to see if you can follow the rhythym. Its is one of the most complicated compositions ever made in Coke Studio. Its absolutely mind blowing

Sadly, this was Mr Sabri's last song on Coke Studio as he was killed by extremists saying that his music was blasphemous. How anyone can find anything but joy from this is unfathomable. RIP Legend

Wonderful i am very impressed with your reaction on this qawwali 🥰 thanks for sharing 👍 super

Don't be stressed, I love your reactions on Pakistani music. Love from the neighborhood (Denmark ❤️)

Its good to see you trying to understand this type of stuff.after all u r German who love and deserve to excell

Dude em happy at least u are trying to understand our music 🥰 Love u from Pakistan ❤️

YOU ARE DOING GREAT YOU WILL PICKUP THE WAY YOU ARE GOING

Actually in this song, the poet has written the extreme of love and the singers have sung very skillfully in a way that is thousands of years old qawali style. Take care brother

Great to see that you concentrate not only on music but also on poetry, lyrics.React to 'Aaqa', 'Khaki Banda', 'Pardadari', 'Noor e Azal'.

Best reaction .. Keep it up !! Lots of #Love_n_Respect !!

Hii bro i really like ur reaction love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🙏

Every human has some elements of Gods attributes, anger, love, effection etc. Though we are with flaws where God is perfect. People saying they see God in their master is because those saints are soo deeply in love with Allah that you cant help but remember Allah in their presence. Thats why we say we see you as if we are seeing Allah because at that point that person does not exist, he has rejected his ego and painted him self in Gods love.

Hey man, love how you were actually interested in the lyrics and not just the music. First of all you have to know who Sufis are. They are spiritual guides. People pledge allegiance to them and become their students. The Sufis are connected to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) via the spiritual realm, and the Prophet then takes him/her to Allah (this still exists today). These guides can then give authority to their students to also become masters, and this can be verified by the Prophet again via the spiritual realm. These chains of spiritual guides lead back to the Prophet via the Prophets cousin/ son in law Ali ibn Abu Talib (mentioned at the beginning of the poem), only one chain (g he Naqshbandi chain) doesn't go through Ali, it goes through the Prophet's closest companion Abu Bakr, and after the Prophet passed away, Ali pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr. So this poem was written by Amir Khusro (mentioned mid poem). He found his guide Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya and pledged allegiance to him and become his student. He then went home and told his mother how the colour/beauty of Nizamuddin captured his heart. The verse referring to the wedding and husband was used in a metaphorical sense, just as on a wedding husband and wife become connected by a bond, matter and student become connected by a bond. The master can always reach the student via the spiritual realm. The colour refers to the character/personality. A student finds his guide based on his personality. But the core of Sufis is follow the character and actions of the Prophet which is what helps them achieve such high spiritual stations with Allah. The names mentioned towards the end were all Sufi masters. Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti was the master and guide of Khwaja Qutbuddin Khaki, who was the guide of Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakr, who was the guide of Khwaja Nizamuddin (Khwaja means great helper, Khwajgaan is the plural, mentioned in the poem). These are all distinguished names of the Chishti Sufi chain/order. Mehboob e Ilahi (mentioned) means Beloved of God, a title given to Nizamuddin due to his lofty station with Allah. The shout of 'Allah' midway was one of amazement, just as one would say 'of my God' in amazement of something. I hope I covered the main points, please ask if you want more info, I'm sure myself and others will be able to help

Bro it is proud moment seeing you with many views 😍 I am following you since 600 subscribers more power to you

I liked how you were thinking over the lyrics although it was not that much necessary and even a bit funny to me. It's much difficult to get the context and understand the background. Respect! Also being a musician yourself you grasped what mastery was involved in it and that was the best.

Firstly, Cojak brother you deserve a huge respect. You did homework and didn't hesitated to learn more which is really impressive also I appreciate you to do more, you are always welcome to learn about Islam and it's norms along with it's rich history and I hope you'll be able understand how some (very small amount of peoples who used Islam and certain Hadith along with Quran's verses which gave strict instructions on, in which and how a muslim should Jihad {Firstly, to fight against Devil inside your mind/soul for securing you from Devil's influence by asking Allah's mercy. Secondly, after successfully doing the first point then to take stand against oppressors who's a threat to your not only religion but also for the whole society in whole as well. Give message to the oppressor about your religion which means give a brief information about your faith. After doing these if the oppressor continues to oppression the final step is to fight against the oppressor even if you have chance to loose your life, you have to fight against the oppressions for the love of Allah and your beloved religion} Thank you for learning about Islam. May Allah bless you Cojak! ❤️

O Mother = oh my god, not literally but in similar meaning Gokul and Mathura and Delhi are cities in India since the piece was written 100s of years ago in undivided India. saying Allah: His father, Ghulam Farid Sabri used to say this aloud, it was his trademark Some fun facts and one sad fact. This was Amjad's last appearance in Coke studio and unfortunately he didn't live to see this performance as it was released after his death. This was supposed to be the 1st full rehearsal before the actual final recording but they decided to take it as the final version. This same piece was sung almost 45 years ago by Rahat's Uncle the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali and Amjad's Father and Uncle, Maqbool Sabri together. So this Coke Studio piece was to pay tribute to them as well. If you feel down, I recommend listening to Coke Studio "Rock Star" by Ali Zafar. A completely different feel to what you've listened to so far in Coke Studio.

Huge respect you brother you are doing great job God bless you ❤️

Khawaja Nizam ud Din Awliya is buried in Delhi, India.

Love from Pakistan🇵❤ Allah bless you Always man Ameen💞

Nice geniune reaction ❤ RIP AMJAD SABRI SIR 🌸

Written many many years ago Poet is a man mr. Ameer Khusro, talking about his master, teacher, guru Mr. Nizam, like as if he was his love of life Calling his own mom, like when you see something very special you call your mom even if she is not there at that time Mr. Nizam was man of GOD, we call him walee ( friend of GOD) so Khusro loved Nizam just to please GOD like we love all prophets and all walees to please GOD

Hats off to u cojaks... This entire thing is a new culture to u fo sure.. This is a deep sufi creation probably more than five hundred years ago. Written by great Amir Khusro, a close apostle of Nizamuddin Auliya, Mehboob e Elahi (God's belived),one of the greatest saints in sub continent. Amir is praising and expressing his feelings about his mentor (Nizamuddin). It is a master piece. Amir has inventions of many many musical instruments to his credit. His soulful renderings are equally scintilating and impressive. Chaap tilak is another master piece by Amir. There is so much about Amir Khusro that you need days to read his love, devotion to his mentor and God, and his writtings and inventions.

Thank you Cojak

both are super music legends of Pakistan

Imagine it was just rehearsal yet so PITCH PERFECT fit and GOOD TO GO.💪✌️

awesomeeee man

Thanks for reacting on Pakistani Music

Gokul and mathura are two cities in India which are spiritually connected with Lord Krishna.

I love it when u try to understand

Late amjad sabri's last performance💔

Please react to Aadam next by fareed ayaz coke studio its about how Adam entered the earth (People believe adam was the first man on this earth)

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ really like your reaction,

sufi poet is portraying a moment of his spiritual journey. it's about the wedding of body n soul, when he founds lots of different colors around and fell in love of one that was the color of God. Then he says to God that i wants to stay with that one color that enhanced him with the knowledge of (God)

These qawalies are continuously series, they differ in style n lyrics but have same subject like Allah, prophet Muhammad and saints following him. Auliya also means saint. Khwaja nizamuddin, mueen uddin and fariduddin all are those who spread islam in whole sub continent. That message, thought, love of Allah and Prophet Muhammad 's love is the basic colour everyone opted. So they are repeating this again and again. They praise it because there is nothing more pure and beautiful than the colour of Allah. They refer to mother because they have listened to the stories of Allah, Prophet Muhammad and saints from mother. Its mother's belief as well. It is all generation after generation. The soil is also called mother here. People refer or address it for commitment.

💚 Alles Gute und weiterhin viel Erfolg 💚 Viel Glück und Erfolg 👍🌸 Tolles Video

love your videos man... lots of love from Pak please help small ytbers by reacting to their vdos.. may Allah bless you more

So beautiful

Cojak, love from Pakistan🇵🇰

In easy word they r admiring those holy people who enlightened them the path of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which leads them to Allah the all mighty and by your color they mean the holy people way they were in their religion.....

I love how u try to understand lyrics and respect them.... React to 'Khaki Banda' Coke studio season 9

This poetry is about a woman who is telling her mother about her beloved that she is going to meet him and she is happy on that meeting. But in actual all these are metaphores and here beloved means the murshid (spiritual teacher/master) whom a mureed (student/devotee) made alliance to and set on the journey of love of God. On that path, they first get in love of murshid, so that by the act of love n devotion of murshid, the murshid may help them (teach them) to reach God. so the song is a metaphore where a mureed is happy on his meeting with murshid, a simple devotee is happy over his meeting to his beloved teacher.

Nizam udin , Qutbudin, Khwaja Moeen udin, Chishti, Kaki, they were all in India near Delhi, teaching etiquette and humanity love to people of all religions, many people accepted their religion ( became muslim) after meeting these guys on their own will, these were not prophet, but friends of GOD , called as Walee ( for one ) Auliya ( for many )

This masterpiece is the repeatation of history where father and Uncle of these 2 artists performed same Qawwali ages ago on some occassion. And in current age the next generation is remaking it. On the other hand Amjad Sabri the 2nd artist with long hairs was sadly assassinated before this track was aired and sadly it waz his last performance. He was the son of Legendry Qawwal Ghulam Farid Sabri.

Damnnn Amazing reaction man! I m a hindu but i love Pakistani coke studio and just like you wants to know about those references and names!! 💕💕 The gokul and mathura part is all i know coz i am a hindu it says " I explored gokul and mathura " but can't find colour like yours gokul is a town in Mathura district UP where Hindu god Krishna spend his childhood Hope u get it what it meant💕💕

In Sufi poetry you can get two meaning one is worldy meaning the beloved is a person while the other meaning is spiritual or true love and in this scenario the beloved is GOD.

ameer khosroo was a qawal who created qawali (a form of singing for praising ALLAH and saints) he singing for his saint ALLO DEEN(khawaja nizam ud deen). gokal and matura was form of HINDO colorful celebration

Great Reaction ❤️ Alas! This was the last song Amjad Sabri because he didn't pay illegal tax to the goons of a political party, MQM

A very good friend of mine is dead. Its face and shape was similar to yours ... When I saw you for the first time today, I suddenly remembered my lost friend a lot😢😢

Amjad Sabri was the son of Ustad Ghulam Farid Sabri who was more than a legend when it came to performing qawwalis. Amjad Sabri is in a class of his own. Rahat's uncle Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, called the Emperor of Qawwals, and Ghulam Sabri have performed this countless times. Rahat and Amjad pulled this off flawlessly because they grew up listening and performing it

Thanks

The poet is praising his beloved teacher. To understand the song, you first have to understand the culture.

Do you know that MUSICIANS called it university of music coke studio Pakistan 🇵🇰. Please listen these songs 1. Dachi walya 2. Aik Alif 3. Yar Vekho Real sugar for your ears

Nizamuddin Auliya is not a prophet but most beloved and respectable saint of the Muslim history. His shrine is in India.

They are talking to their mother...... telling her their story........ the way we used to do when we were young..... they are telling her their accomplishments......

Subscribed

It's a request of a daughter to mother for attending a festival of "rang" same as "Holi" at shrine of khwaja nizamuddin awliya so she gave her references

O mother ......because the song is of a woman who is telling her mother that she will be united with her husband today and how describes how happy she is about it . Rang or colour is a metaphor for soulful union because it paints/ colours your body mind and senses with it ....here there is also the mention of sufi saints like Nizamuddin and allauddin who worshipped Allah or God through love .....similar to bhakti movement of Hindu saints like Meera who too worshipped the lord Krishna through love ( she considered Krishna to be her husband) who lived at Gokul and mathura . Sufism had both Muslim and Hindu followers and in fact bridged the two religions in a spiritual way

Look at Aziz Mian , Unique Qawali Singer, writer.amazing, one, only. Probably without Captions, translations,, was some time ago.

Cojak our lovely sweet brother we love u miss u ever

Nizamuddin Auliya was a sufi saint and Ameer Khusro (the poet) is expressing his devotion to the saint

Someone must have commented already.. Gokul and Mathura are holy shrines in India and the poet is referring to their respect.

In sub continent we have a form of poetry which is called "tasawof" In this form the explanation of poetry is up on person whether he explains or use that poetry for God or his lover I mean person

@Cojak Rap, South Asia has a tradition which sees Love in terms of Spiritual Love and Physical Love - even to express Spiritual Love, one employs the terminology of the Physical Love. But to the initiated the context makes it obvious that it is the Almighty who is being addressed as the Beloved (always male).

Miss you Amjad Sabri sir 🤲🏻

Exactly. Most people break down listening to this emotionally. The reason probably he is stopping in between.

This song is about a celebration day so its like when we break the news to our mother like o mother today is the day

It's record only in one shot 💓

bro that percussion is "dhamma" tabla.... specially used in qawwali music!

Nizam ud Din Awliya was equally honoured & loved by Muslims, Hindu's, Christmas & Sikhs in India, although he was a Muslim , a perfect Muslim. While Ameer Khusro was a true lover of Khawaja Nizam ud Din. Lyrics have been written by Ameer Khusro.

The phrase "O Mother" is very common in our Indian literature. It's like when a naive child is talking with his mother. He is explaining something exciting he discovered. The song is written almost 800 years ago by Khwaja Amir Khasrou. The song is dedicated to Khwaja NizamUddin and other Khawajas such as Alauddin Sabir, FaridUddin, QutubUddin and others. Gokul and Mathura are two famous cities of ancient India. Mathura was said to be the capital of 'Kushan Empire' and was the most beautiful city at that time. Khwaja NizamUddin and others were somewhat close to Saints in Christianity. The song is inshort praise of Khwaja NizamUddin. There are 22 Khwajas of Delhi one of them was female and other 21 was male.

❤

Khawaja is a teacher, leading to Allah

Just look for Zakir Khan and hear him play the Tabla. You'll be blown away 👍🏻

Since you like drums. Let me give you one other song from Pakistan which has a lots of drums. " Pakistan Zindabad by Call the band". You will be amaze when you see the professionals with lots of amatures , playing together.

When he says Allah means thanks to Allah the colours given to Nizam ud Din awliya.

Gokul and mathura are places in North India

Love 4m Pakistan

Amjad Sabri rest in peace 🕊️😥

When a muslim sees beauty he chant the name of God "ALLAH" or praises him with "Subhan ALLAH" and "Ma Sha ALLAH" When a muslim sees a horrified thing says "ALLAH U Akbar " ALLAH is the Greatest ....

Its a sufi song. God is present in everyone who has witnessed him inside themselves. The experience of witnessing god within ones can be transferred into others who hasn’t witnessed yet. In this sufi song written by Hazrat Amir khosru being a disciple witnessing god in his mentor hazrat Nizamuddin And telling there is no difference between his mentor Nijamuddin and god, Nijamuddin is the image of god himself. Its a chain propagating from disciple to his master reaching upto Prophet mohammad to god. Mohammad means the praise and connected one to god and all of them are collectively the same image. Human is the image of god, its all about seeing the ultimate truth in the image of one’s mentor.

Please react to ' charkha naulakha ' by Atif Aslam from a previous Coke studio season. You would love it.

I like ur video

Gokul and Mathura are the two holy place according to Hinduism. Gokul where Lord Krishna spent his childhood and Mathura is where he was born in prison.
