Grammy nomination is amazing But i think there are plenty of gems without any grammy and its nomination in south east asia Like nusrat fateh ali khan sb Lata mangeshkar Kavita seth Begum akhtar Farida khanum Atif aslam Sonu nigam Ali sethi Mehdi hassan sb Rahat fateh sb Abida parween ji So I believe grammy don't deserve such gems That's why they were never nominated

[@redsmile3663]

This song is an experience. It rings a bell as familiar, the strings, the picking, but the Urdu singing is so foreign to me which just makes this all the more hauntingly beautiful. What a gorgeous language and song.

[@HumzahYazdani]

I would suggest you look into Coke Studio Pakistan. You would love it!

[@khan1waseem]

Music touches the soul, regardless of the language. It’s the universal language brother ✌️

If u like Urdu u will love Coke studio Pakistan. Check out the Qawallis there specially. Abida Parveen is a legend 🙌

[@mustafaalmer1]

a poem written by Hafeez Hoshiarpuri circa 1921, English translation of the words: seeing how you have ample lovers around you, i will not be one of them this is sad, as i love you the most. the sadness of this is equal to the sadness of all the world. and were there not this one sadness, how much happiness would there be in this world. and even if i do somehow get to be one of your lovers, the sadness of my time spent in separation from you will be all that consumes me i will not be one of those lovers to you.

Teri mehfil mein magar hum na honge.. this music is trend setting fusion. Many have tried but lost west to east or the east to west. She beautifully blends it without any accent and preserving the beauty of Urdu while bringing in the Soul, jazz, Sufi and Bhajan aspect. In short even traditionalist Urdu classical and new age western audience can appreciate the beauty of the song.
