Aafreen Aafreen--- A tribute to NFK

*Aankhein Daikhe To Mein Daikhta Reh Gaya
Aankhein Ya Makaday Ka Do Baad Hein
Aankhein In Ko Kahoon Ya Kahoon Khuwaab Hein
Aankhein Neechi Huwi To Haya Bun Gayi
Aankhein Unchi Howi To Dua Bun Gayi
Aankhein Uth Ker Jhuki To Ada Bun Gayi
Aankhein Jhuk Ker Uthi To Qaza? Qada Bun Gayi
Aankhein Jin Mein Qaid Aasman O Zameen
Nargisi Nargisi, Surmayi Surmayi
Aafreen Aafreen, Aafreen Aafreen
*

:k:

i loved NFAK and miss him..

some of my favorite lyrics by him are of these qawaallis…

tumehin dillagi bhool jani paray gi
mohabbat kee raahon mein aa kar toh dekho..

the whole qawwali is jus great…my favorite line in it is..

Khuda k lyay chor do ab ye parda
ke haen aaj hum tum naheen ghair koi :slight_smile:

i also like the lyrics from this qawali…

ye jo halka halka suroor hae
ye teri nazar ka qusoor hae
k sharaab peena sikha dya

there is one punjabi qawwali by him which i really like as well but dont remember the exact lyrics right now…i’ve deleted it from my pc but if i find it i’ll post the lyrics :slight_smile:

Re: Aafreen Aafreen--- A tribute to NFK

I like this one where one of the lines reads, "husn waaloN say keh dau naa niklaa karaiN baahar...daikhnay waaloN kaa imaan chalaa jaata hay" r something liek that.

Re: Aafreen Aafreen— A tribute to NFK

you won’t believe it Irem but my bro listens to this qawwali almost every other day - the whole 16 minutes of it :smack: ser mein dard ho gaya hai iss ko sunn sunn ker LOL

Re: Aafreen Aafreen— A tribute to NFK

Rukhsar apnay bhai ko please meri taraf se ye message convey karna: GREAT CHOICE AND KEEP ROCKING :smiley: :k:

aur tsk tsk tum zoQ peda karo apnay andar :snooty:

Re: Aafreen Aafreen— A tribute to NFK

^ Zoq ki baat naheen hai. It is like he is studying for a qawwali exam :rolleyes:

funny thing is that he doesn’t understand the meaning of a single word :hehe:

bless> why my status says "Guest"

Re: Aafreen Aafreen--- A tribute to NFK

I grew up listening to nothing but qawali's and i especially love NFK :)

one fo my sikh unlce ji's at work sing the Darkan qawali/song to me all the freaking time. I hate the way he became so commercialised towards the end of his life... I remember channel 4 showing a concert he did in London or B'ham once,we'v still got it on tape.

Re: Aafreen Aafreen— A tribute to NFK

RB hahah thats funny yaar :hehe:

wanted to post this song here :slight_smile:

shehr ke dukaandaaro
karobaar-e-ulfat mein
sood kya ziyaan kya hae
tum na jaan pao ge

dil ke daam kitnay haen
khwaab kitnay mehngay haen
aur naqd-e-jaan kya hae
tum na jaan pao ge

koi kaise milta hae
phool kaise khilta hae
aankh kaise jhukti hae
saans kaise rukti hae
kaise reh nikalti hae
kaise baat chalti hae
shoq kee zabaan kia hae
tum na jaan pao ge

vasl ka sutoon kya hae
hijr ka junoon kya hae
husn ka fusoon kya hae
ishq ke daroon kya hae
tum mareez-e-jaanaaee
maslehat ke shedaai
rah-e-gumrahan kya hae
tum na jaan pao ge

zakhm kaise phaltay haen
daagh kaise jaltay haen
dard kaise hota hae
koi kaise rota hae
ashk kya hayn naalay kya
dasht kya hayn chaalay kya
aah ka faraan kya hae
tum na jaan pao ge

janta hoon mein tum ko
zoq-e-shairi bhee hae
shaqseeyat sajanay mein
aik ye mahiri bhee hae
phir bhee harf chunte ho
sirf lafz sunte ho
in ke darmeyaan kya hae
tum na jaan pao ge

Re: Aafreen Aafreen--- A tribute to NFK

i like these verses very much from "tumhein dillagi bhool jaani paray gi" :)

jo ulfat mein har eik sitam hae gavara
ye sab kuch hay pas-e-vafa tum se varna
satatay ho din raat jis tarhaan muj k
kisi ghayr ko yuun sata kar toh dekho

:)
