It will hard to translate this to exactly what it means but it is sort of a religious ritual chant if you can imagine it like. Mast qalandar means a saint of the highest order (qalandar) and he is in sort of mystic trance (mast). The qalandar is praising his masters the one above him in the saintly order.

Man am going down an amazing rabbit hole with these videos. This music is already amazing, but with the metal backing, it just goes to the stratosphere. This is some of the best music I've heard recently. Really wishing for a collaboration. The West needs to hear more from these singers (Nooran Sisters included).

[@yasinachekzai2567]

This music is also very popular in Afghanistan and my father has tons of CDs and Cassettes from him and other qawwali artists, Like Nashenas or the Sabri Brothers, but Ustad Fateh Ali Khan was always his favourite. I must admit that to me this genre of music kind of always lacked a bit of "fire" or "spice" and as such I really love your interpretations here, as they add exactly what I was missing, allowing me to get all nostalgic in a new, "metalled-up" way. 😊

NFAK is a prominent feature of Pakistani households with any bit of musical taste. It was in my teens that I discovered metal, years after I'd listened to traditional Qawwali. I always thought there were parallels between these two types of music from opposite ends of the world. Both have the same crazy, spirited, adventurous zeal of reaching into the beyond and pulling out and bringing back something otherworldly.

[@lamenamethefirst]

That man and his music has gone beyond borders. One of the most unique voices to have graced this Earth. Instantly recognisable style. You can hear a touch of the same voice and style in RFAK as well, a young version of whom I believe I can see in this video.

[@MMK86]

I don't know the language but I can tell he's singing from his soul, from his heart.......what is the song about?

[@irfankhan-in9lg]

@@MMK86 This is not a song. Qawwali music is basically about praising God, Prophet Mohammed, Ali (cousin and son in law of prophet Mohammed) and sufi saints. In this Qawwali they are praising Ali and famous Sufi Saint from Sindh, called, Laal Shehbaz Qalandar.

I have to come back to this periodically, it's so uplifting. I live in Japan, where a sizable number of people LOVE rock and metal and understand basically zero of what it is saying, yet they can FEEL it.

[@sophiaseeker9335]

This song is about the season of must when mating season occurs in elephant populations. The male elephants get agitated, rocking back and forth.

[@someguy2744]

​@@sophiaseeker9335 I think it is a muslim religious song, so the breeding rituals of elephants is probably not what is being talked about. Sami Yusuf also made his own interpretation of the song.

[@sophiaseeker9335]

@@someguy2744 A Raja who's languages and culture he was emersed in his entire life, he not only gifted me this and other music. He translated them as well. He translated cinema as well, as we watched together. Growing up in this region, he was fluent in at least six local languages. The elephant season of must, is a metaphor. One must think allegorically to grasp the true meaning. I shant try to paint the whole picture for anyone. Suffice it to say,the males rock back and forth side to side, tears streaming from their eyes, longing for their beloved. Intensely. The separation is pain and longing. One must look beyond the mere temporal mundane interpretations. If one does not grok metaphor, a thousand words cannot explain it.

[@squ34ky]

@@sophiaseeker9335 hahaha!

[@alifaraz2193]

For anyone wondering... The lyrics refer to not the mating of elephants, rather a trance like state of being "musth" which means entranced in love. So Ali is a revered figure in shia and sunni Islam. This song is dedicated to the love of Ali and how one can e entranced by it. "Must qalandar" is a phrase referring to a Sufi practitioner lost in love.
