basically hazrat Ameer Khusro wrote this poem for his spritual master hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya as when he met him, his mater's sight/gaze (in urdu nazar) changed his whole internal world and thats why he says you have stolen everything from me (in a moment) when my eyes met your eyes...also as ManishS19 says it can interpreted in many ways as tassawuf is very vast and one can interpret according to his own level of understanding + sprituality.. anyways thanks of great video...

Sung to perfection; without doubt the best rendition if chaap tilaak. It makes Amir Khusraus (ra) poetry come alive and let's our generation appreciate his poetic genius.
WE are so lucky that we lived in the time of Aziz Mian, Nusrat Fateh Khan, and the greatest of all, the Sabri Brothers. It will always be one of the greatest regrets of my life that I never saw them live, but thank you for posting videos like this. They will live forever in our hearts. And forever sing in Jannat
I heard that it is a sufi poem written by the renowned poet Khusrao to describe his love for his lord the creator, in his case Allah. The most magical thing about classic poems is that the listener can fit the poem to their own imagination.
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay Prem bhatee ka madhva pilaikay Matvali kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay Gori gori bayyan, hari hari churiyan Bayyan pakar dhar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay Bal bal jaaon mein toray rang rajwa Apni see kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye Mohay Suhaagan keeni ray mosay naina milaikay Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
The tilak in this instance is not such an Islamic symbol but is used in the sense that 'You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance' He wrote in many languages and the references used from the lives of those languages may not always be islamic in practice but the interpretations are what need to understood.. Islam and the work of Hazrat Amir Khusrao RA are both far greater than to be resolved to arguments or comments of symbolism but do try and understand the depth of this sufi
@nimbarkadasa thats the beauty of this type of poetry that who so ever listens to such poetry has a different view of whats the background of the poetry.
I know exalted soul from any religion drops those trappings which we usually associate with the respective religions.. For instance when Mansoor Mastana said Anal-haq he was not humiliating God his enunciation au-contraire was highest form of worship
ارے میں جو گئی تھی پنیاں بھرن کو چھین جھپٹ موری مٹکی پھٹکی، ٹھوکر لاگی موری مٹکی پھوٹی اچھا ہوا میں پنیاں بھرن سے چھوٹی، کیوں کیوں کہ بہت کٹھن ہے ڈگر پنگھٹ کی... 🔥💞❤️❣️
@nimbarkadasa There is often two interpretations to most qawwali songs and kalams (like ghazals), the secular and the sacred. Neither are wrong, but they are often confused. But it should always speak to the heart regardless of what the interpretation is.
I too was surprised to hear the narrator describe it as a look from a lover. Qawwali is not about expressing romantic feelings. It is strictly related to Sufi-ism.
I believe in reality. Therefore, falling for a living person works for me. I see the person and fantasize about her/him. However, I have not seen "the spiritual guide and master (God)", if he exits at all, hence I cannot dream, beg or fantasize of seeing her/him.
If you think material existence is reality, you are mistaken my brother, the atoms we are made of, were once atoms of dinosaurs or even their excretion. Material is nothing but delusion, study the SHIP OF THESEUS PARADOX, material has no identity. God is pure from this, he is beyond this. God is the only true Identity. He is one and he is unmatched. He was there when there was nothing, he will be there when there will be nothing.
I beg to differ my brother. This song was composed by Amir Khusro in honor of Khwaja Nizamuddin and not to mark any form of conversion ritual of Hindus.
@herndonboy13 It was from a Channel 4 documentry shown in the 80s. Can't remember the exact name of it, but most of it , if not all is on youtube in sperate parts.
all the symbolims is taken from krishan worship of gopika so you are free to interpret the way you want.. but the very fact that he chose krishna gopika symbolism tells you in his midn there was no difference whatseover.. sufis used to krishana bhakt anyway.. for instance rahim khan khana
what a stupid commentary... Khusrao Ji wrote this for his spiritual guide and master, Nijjamuddeen....in the poem, the imagery is of the soul, in the form of an innocent girl, falling completely head over heels for their spiritual master...not some wanton girl meeting her lover on the way to a well as the commentator says at the beginning.
so it is clear that humans make these rules; since we had the and have the liberty. Some say this is wrong some say that is wrong; but who are we to authenticate that or this? God is/was always with us, among us and we are a part of god as god is a part of us. 1000 yrs from now, the rules will be very much different from what they r today, just how the way it used to be 1000 yrs ago too. Also, there might still be people fighting and killing each other over these rules meaninglessly like mindless zombies too. Let's just live life when you are alive and let live too
+Anand V.L. brother.. that is a good question. but the whole point is that people of other religions, like youself (I am guessing), are interested in our religion as well. also they are spreading the name of islam, because if they were to speak about islam, not many people, forget other people, but even muslims wouldn't be very interested! :)
From my knowledge, there is no strong evidence that support the use of music for Islamic reasons. It is permitted or certain celebratory occasions like Eids, or Weddings, etc. However, no credible scholar will say heavy music should be use "islamically" per say. The only Prophet credited with singing is Dawud, but he used to use mainly his voice in praise of God. However, I would recommend that if people recommend they listen to music, they make sure the message is good, that the instruments not be too much, and that they do so occasionally, and that they don't try to "islamasize" everything. Listen to it for your pleasure, or maybe to say a story or whatever, and leave it at that.
Hey he cud have picked symbolism befitting his guru you can make as many alibis but fact is word by word he borroed all the symbolism from krishan gopika tradition.> he may have sung this for his gurur but one thign is sure he was very very very influenced by krishna bhakti opf gopika hence the choice
By the way d you know who killed Abdullah Shah Ghazi..none other than muhd bin Qasim and reason was because Abdullah shah was direct descendant of prophet and didn;t accept Abu Bakar and others.. and guess who was protecting Abdullah Shah Ghazi none other than Raja Dahir..
Couldn't we say that to mistake one's Beloved for being "just" a girl going to the well is to make idolatry, to forget the One in Whom all things, including beautiful women and wise masters, have their existence and purpose? Isn't this mistake, this forgetting of what we're really up to going to the well, the very trouble these guys are singing about? Our love either takes us to to oneness, or leads away from it. A girl, a Sufi sage, whatever, it's the heart that gets you to the well. Ask Majnu.
