The Mughals - Epic Music

[@faryafaraji]

Music by Farya Faraji, vocals by Ashish Ali, Marriam Zeeshan, rubab and sitar by Marc Planells. Please note that this isn't reconstructed music from the era of the Mughal Empire, but modern music rooted in Indian, Pakistani, Afghani and Iranian elements. The instruments used are the santour, rubab, sitar, dilruba, sarangi, and a panoply of Indian percussions, as well as the Iranian tanboor and dotar. The structure of the music and its aesthetics are derived from Hindustani Classical music, aspects of Carnatic Classical music, as well as Qawwali, the main Sufi musical repertoire of the Indian subcontinent. The melodies use the vast repertoire of the Raga system, some of them pentatonic in nature, as well as the Dastgah system of Iranian music. The Mughals were a dynasty that ruled over the near totality of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Self-named Gurkanians; they were Persian-speaking Muslims whose genealogical roots were found in Timur, and by extension, Genghis Khan, hence the historiographical term "Mughal," which means Mongol. The lyrics sung are derived from a variety of sources: poetry in the Chagatai language written by Babur, the founder of the dynasty, poetry in the Persian language by Zeb-un-Nissa, a Mughal princess and daughter of Aurangzeb, and a localised form of Persian that overlaps linguistically with Hindustani. Lyrics: (Hindustani) Tu noor-e Hindustan hai, Noorani, noorani hai, Ya Ali, ya Muhammad, Ey meherban ey nigahban, Merhaba ya merhaba, Shahenshah ya padishah, La Illah ha i-lallah, Jallah jallalah bismillah You are the light of Hindustan, You are radiant, O Ali, oh Muhammad, O generous one, o guardian, Welcome, welcome Shahenshah and Padishash, There is no god but God, May his glory be glorified (Chagatai) Islam ichin avara-i yazi buldim, Kuffar u hind harbsazi buldim Jazm aylab idim uzni shahid olmaqqa, Amminna' lillahi ki gazi buldim I am become a desert wanderer for Islam, Having joined battle with infidels and Hindus I readied myself to become a martyr, God be thanked I am become a ghazi. (Persian) Afarin bar jegaram bad ke dar keshvar e Hend, Sekkeye naghde sokhan rajeye Iran zade am, Baz emrooz delam sooye Khorasan rafte ast, Reshteye kofr boridast o be iman rafte ast, Va nashod chon ghoncheye del, dar baharestane Hend, Raft morghe rouge Makhfi, goosheye Kabol gereft Hail to my soul, for within the country of India, I speak the valuable tongue of Iran, Again today, my heart years for Khorasan, It cuts off the root of blasphemy and goes towards faith, The flower of the heart does not bloom in the garden of India, Makhfi's secret bird instead flies away, and goes towards Kabul.

Hindi as a language is heavily inspired by Sanskrit, Persian, Turkish , Arabic and now English also, like Mausam we took from Arabic, Dafa ho we say like Turks, we have persian words in our vocabulary.

I like how you included Persian and Central Asian elements in this video. Babar, the dynasty's founder, was said to have descended from Tamerlane and Genghis Khan from his father's and mother's side respectively. Moreover, the Mughals liked Persian culture so much that it caused the creation of Urdu, a mix of Perso-Arabic and Sanskrit.

It's difficult not to revisit this 12 minute masterpiece every now and then. Especially with the new quality earphones that I just got.

[@sal6695]

The ending portion from 10:40 onwards is beautiful to me, it isnt loud or agressive or even especially epic, but its just such a dignified and pleasant sounding, almost gentle rendition of the leit-motif, soothing and nice, i really dig it

[@sal6695]

I KNEW IT! Another of the great gunpowder empires! If it's as good as "The Safavids", then this song will be fucking awesome.

[@ashleynarducci9056]

Beautiful music dear farya❤️ Your job is incredibly amazing, a great hug from italy, from the land of Cesare borgia ( i hope his history could inspire you in the future)

[@iberius9937]

One of your best compositions. And I've said that about many you've done. But this one slays!

[@iberius9937]

Even though this whole work is awesome and worth repeated listenings, it's the first three minutes that I'm obsessed with. That opening was PERFECTION.

[@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub]

Can you do one on the Mauryans, a huge dynasty in India and had matrimonial relationship with Seleucids as Seleucus married his daughter to Chandragupta Maurya. So it can be an indo Greek and Persian fusion as Seleucus' wife was Sogdian or Persian

[@SafavidAfsharid3197]

Why should mouryan be influenced by indo greeks when they had more power than selucus and had him marry hus daughter to them? Isnt their court language was sanskrit, pali and magadhi prakrit?

[@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub]

@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Yes but I had to convince Farya na to produce one on them 😂 😉 also Greeks did have a huge influence in Gandhar region and Bactria no one can deny that , Ashok also says in his inscription that Yavanas lived in his empire and followed Dhamma and his own Governor in Saurashtra was a Bactrian Greek with Persian origins named Tushaspha

[@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub]

@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Seleucus wasn't Indo Greek, Bactrian Greeks were Indo Greeks

[@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub]

@@SafavidAfsharid3197 I trust Farya totally that he would produce it with authenticity if he does produce it, all his work has been amazing so far 👍👏

[@abhijithharimenon9916]

The lyrics could come from the Ashokan inscriptions maybe?

[@jaspalsingh5005]

Big fan of your channel! Good to see you branching towards Indic music. Would love to see one for the Sikhs too :)

Thanks for this piece, I especially enjoyed the choice of lyrics

[@miracafsinlastamonte8052]

I love that too. Such a cultural music.

I'm marathi and I have to say, this is amazing. Really well made composition and talented players and singers. I wish more people could listen to this.

And here I was some 2 months ago, wondering if you would ever do something related to the Mughals. You are a legend man, keep up the fantastic work! P.S. Greetings to the collaborators!

[@Apollonia-gi3xk]

I just stumbled upon this... I can speak Hindi/Urdu/Hindustani well, and always was fascinated by the connection to Persian. Two things the Mughals left for us is Hindustani classical music and the language. So I was happy to see something this combination of Chughtai and Persian poetry set to music. It's beautiful beyond words❤

[@inigoposada]

One of the best from Farya. I am listening since I have found it and can't stop.

[@sarthaktyagi9696]

Amazing work! The lyrics beautifully co-relate with the Mughal era in India. The second paragraph hits hard but AMAZING at the same time. That's the definition of what you call Excellence!

[@blakeprocter5818]

Oh man, the sound of the tanpura! Always sounds so mystical and magical to me, despite being merely a background instrument. That sound it creates just sounds almost otherworldly to me. Similar to the santur, but where as the santur sounds crystalline and cold in a way, the tanpura sounds warm. Not sure if that makes sense, but it's the vibes I get from these instruments.

[@aethernity8270]

Finally tanpura appreciation ❤

[@blakeprocter5818]

@@aethernity8270 It almost never gets mentioned, from what I've seen, despite it being so absolutely tied to Indian classical and even ancient music. It's always there, yet seems to get little recognition. To me, the tanpura is second only to the santur (or hammered dulcimers in general) as the most magical sounding instrument.

[@aethernity8270]

@@blakeprocter5818 it's always used in both classical music it's just not that much noticed or appreciate by others is what I meant So seeing someone mentioning tanpura made me happy 😁

[@MiloVeloz]

[@melik_yahya_afsari]

Greetings from Türkiye dear friend Farya. I interested in the Mughals, and so I was waiting this work of you. It was a really nice work of art. It is telling the whole adventure of the Mughals in 12 minutes. However, I want to more songs about them :) it is not enough

​​@@BarlasofIndus Mongols are the tribes who speak Mongolian language and follow Mongolic customs, Babur was from Turkic speaking Barlas tribe and used to follow Perso-Turkic customs 😂, Mongol is ethnicity like Turks and not any race, Turks and mongols are tribal consolidations, so they were Turks and had nothing to do with Mughals or Mongols 😂, and i myself a Chagatai Turk from Barlas tribe, and we know who we are, our ancestors Amir Timur Babur Shah had explicitly mentioned that who they are, as proud Turani Chagatai Turks, and nothing to do with this filthy Mughals as the used to say 😂, so we don't want to know from you third party, we know very well who we are, got it, get it in your thick skull 🫡✌️.
