[Anonymous_kaur]

^^ haha

buh i dnt fink dat answered his question lol !!

i guess it's okay to listen to quwalii...if not..i wonder why <_<

[Khalsa4ever]

lol... professional punjabi ravers!!

haha but to the question, gurbani talks about Gurbani vs. Kachee Bani... whose definition is "Satgur bina hor kachee hai bani".

Any song or any poetry, or anything regarding God is Sachee Bani, and we *should* listen to it

[curious_man]

its not wrong... some qawallis by sufis and by great Nusrat fateh ali khan,,.. have very Godly words..

i'll give u one such qawalli.... if u dont undrstand the meanings.. let me know...

but trust me... it brings tears to my eyes..

Lyrics:

understand the deeeep meanings.. wah!! Especially the last stanza!!!!!!!

hue naam oye benishan kaise kaise

zameen kha gayi naujawan kaise kaise

aaj jawani par itaranae wale kal pacthtayega - 2

chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega - 2

dhal jayega dhal jayega - 2

tu yahan musafir hain,yeh sarah fani hain

chaar roz ki mehmaan teri jindagani hain

jan zameen jar zevar kutch na saath jayega

khali haath aaya hain khali haath jayega

jaan kar bhi anjana ban raha hain deewane

apni umrefani par tan raha hain deewane

is kadar tu khoya hain is jahan ke mele

tu khuda ko bhula hain phas ke is jhamaele main

aaj tak yeh dekha hain paanewala khota hain

jindagi ko jo samjha jindagi pe rota hain

mitne wali duniya ka aaitbaar karta hain

kya samajh ke tu aakhir isse pyar karta hain

apne apne fikro main jo bhi hain woh uljha hain

jindagi haqeeqat main kya hain kaun samjha hain

aaj samajhle aaj samajhle kal yeh mauka haath na tere aayega

o gaflat ki neend main sone wale dhoka khayega

chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega - 2

dhal jayega dhal jayega - 2

maut ne zamane ko yeh sama dikh dala

kaise kaise us gum ko khak main mila dala

yaad rakh sikander ke hausle to aali they

jab gaya tha duniya se dono haath khali they

apna woh halaku hain aur na uske saathi hain

jung ko chu woh porus hain aur na uske haathi hain

aur na uske haathi hain aur na uske haathi hain

kal jo tanke chalte they apni shano shaukat par

shamma tak nahi jalti aaj unki purbat par

apna ho ya ala ho sabko laut jaana hain

muflifoh tavundar ka kabra hi thikana hain

jaisi karni jaisi karni waisi bharni aaj kiya kal payega

sir ko uthakar chalne wale ek din thokar payega

chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega - 2

dhal jayega dhal jayega - 2

maut sabko aani hain kaun isse chuta hain

tu fana nahi hoga yeh khayal jhutha hain

saans tutate hi sab rishtey tut jaayenge

baap, maa, behan, biwi, Bachhe choot jayenge

tere jitne hain bhai waqt ka chalan denge

chin kar teri daulat do hi gaj kafan denge

jinko apna kehta hain kab yeh tere saathi hain

kabra hain teri mazil aur yeh baraati hain

laake kabra main tujhko urda pak dalenge

apne haathon se tere muh pe khak dalenge

teri saari ulfat ko khak main mila denge

tere chahne wale kal tujhe mila denge

isliye yeh kehta hu khub soch le dil main

kyon phasaye baitha hain jaan apni mushkil main

kar gunaho se tauba aake baat sambhal jaaye

dum ka kya bharosa hain jaane kab nikal jaaye

muthhi bandh ke aanewale,muthhi bandh ke aanewale haath pasare jayega

dhan daulat jaagir se tune kya paya kya payega

chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega - 6

nothing wrong with quwali and the singhs looked like they were some hardcore quwali fans :wub:

[Mahakal]

I love it at about a min when he pulls his pug down!! We should start a campaign to find this man!

[Jangal Da]

Nothing wrong about listening to Qawals - Many Punjabi Qawals are witful, poetic dedications to God and show the beauty of the Punjabi language to its zenith. Such is the same simplicity and beauty that attracted people towards the poetry of Farid. Braj Basha just does not have the same effect upon me and Kirtan done in Braj or a variation of it literally fails to strike the right note in me.

I too feel a 'mast diwana experience' when listening to Qawals, but I resist swaying or going full tempo (like the gentlemen in the video, which dates from the early 80s and was a performance done at the Wallace Lawley Centre, Lozells, Birmingham). This is because some buzurg Singhs have told me that one should avoid such practices when listening to devotional songs as it is a sign that you are not fully in control.

[sadh ka sang]

I like listening to qawallis because they can be very uplifting at times. If you get a chance, I highly recommend listening to Sabri Bros. recordings. A lot of qawallis are sufi kalaam and talk about the "ishq" between man and God. So, how can one go wrong when there's talk about supreme devotional love with the Almighty?

There's nothing wrong with listening to music, it all depends on our interpretation. We have to distinguish between ishq haqiqi (love with God) and ishq majazi (love with God's creation).

Mr Singh in the red dastar is proper ravin' it, like hardcore, lol.
