I want to be honest | Khaki Banda | Coke Studio | REACTION

These lyrics touched me more than i wanted them to. In progress of this reaction I felt like being honest with you. I've reacted to a couple sufi and qawwali songs to this point and didn't mention that I'm agnostic and I felt like betraying you if I wouldn't say that at a point in my reactions. But still it is true that i wish I could believe in god, it's just not how I grew up and learned things in my childhood. Let's talk about the song as well, because the way these lyricists sung about wealth, property and possession touched me even more. I have the dream of financial freedom one day and now I just felt miserable because I should know better. My girlfriend is telling me day by day I should care less about money. I'm grinding hard on this channel to get a bigger audience and get a lot of worldly things - what they actually criticize in this song. I'm the imperfection in person.

Love your comments in the description. . . . 🙂 This is precisely what these lyrics are meant to do. To provoke thoughts, to make you think hard about the life choices. And I can clearly see that you are already doing it. Let me clarify one thing, which gets many confused. There is nothing wrong with worldly possessions and the pursuit of wealth. Problem is pursuit of wealth for the sake of wealth. Wealth has to be nothing but a mean to get to a goal. But that raises another question, what exactly is the Goal? To summarize: Be content with what you have, love yourself, love the ones who love you, and remember who you are. Strive hard to improve yourself, wealth will follow. On the flipside; follow the wealth, and face the consequences. You will lose your loved ones, you will never know yourself. You will never be able to improve yourself. You may be able to get a lot of wealth, but what would you do with it if you are left alone in the process of acquiring wealth? Think! Contemplate! This is all these lyrics are meant to do. Nothing else matters 😉

[@cojakrap]

I like all your thoughts on this matter. It's no use if you loose precious things for your wealth.

[@MrUmar72]

Excellent summary... or in my words... money is needed to run your world which is other than money but if you make friends with money and consume others to get this friend then remember that this friend changes hands far too often. For as long as it is in your hand it is a burden and it has to mean to you only once in the life time and that is when it has to leave you and then it never looks back. It belongs to the hand , it is in. So it is no one's.

[@amnahameed6658]

We Muslims believe that one day we will die and we will have to answer to Allah (God) for the good and bad deeds we have done in this world.. So our Sufi Songs mean that the world we will one day leave, why are we running after it..?? Where we have to go forever, that is to Allah (God).. So we have to please Almighty for the day of resurrection.. And yes as always i love your reaction.. ♥️😊 Thank you so much.. 😊

'Khaki Banda’ is an amalgamation of Sufi and rock that picks up pace quite flawlessly with an interesting take on the two distinct genres. Penned by composer, Shuja Haider - the duet is relatively an interesting piece that tries its hand at an array of instruments. With a definitive amount of energy and spirit bound in Jaswal’s powerful vocals.

You should now really dive into earlier seasons of Coke Studio Pakistan produced by Rohail Hyatt. He is the founding father of coke studio and reason why we have different versions of coke studios all around. He produced season 1-6 and season 12, 13. Check out Channa by Atif Aslam from season 6, if you like em, will recommend you more from earlier seasons. Have a great day 😊

I live in Germany and its really advanced as compared to Pakistan. The life is peaceful but the spirit in the air that you feel in Pakistan is missing. Youth here should be introduced to the spirituality, and to the question of exploring the purpose of their existence. They can go from there on their own journey.

[@frivolityrestores9608]

In Islam if you have money that's not bad, and financial security is great-- also how can you be generous if you cannot afford to maintain yourself or your family? It's important of course. it's only if you are absorbed in that and forget the important values of life and the values are explained in depth in the Quran and Ahadith. It's a fine balancing act. This is where we find 5 daily prayers and focusing on the meaning of what we are reciting, helps us re-calibrate and connect ..which helps us keep our balance

[@MR-rl4ew]

The important thing in this world is to recognize and fulfill the purpose for which we all have been sent in this mortal world. This life is just a journey and this world is just a station not destination.

Listen the message is not that Money is not important. The Message is to not let the WORLD take possesion of your heart. You can earn money, be rich, but it should not mean that money should be in your heart. The message is to let Remove Lust for the World out of your heart and replace it with Love of your Creator.

[@mansoorayub2880]

Amazing Reaction ever 🙂

[@sonia0khan]

It is not about believing in God, it is about living a spiritual life, which takes us to a place of experiencing a higher power, a Divine power. Western Europe has no spirituality as the Church killed all the spiritual ones and has been putting Healers in mental hospitals, a practise still going on. So Europeans have to go through healing in order to heal the Heart and fully open the Heart (which is the connection to the Divine presence). May you heal your wounds and generational trauma, going on for 2,000 years and counting ♡

Sufism is more about spiritual /self-realization and self analysis, not all about practicing religion.

[@rumisteps988]

That is exactly what Islam is. It is very much connected to religion. But more on the inner self than rituals. Just wanted to clarify this point as Sufism can be seen as a religion of itself. Which it isn’t. To be a sufi is to be at one with the creator. In this sense it is Allah. Unfortunately islam has been reduced to a bunch of rituals only and the inner dimensions have not had enough emphasis. However as followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW we are obliged to follow the do’s and don’t’s that have been set for us through the pure monotheistic religion of Islam that is the last and final message. At least we should be following the 5 pillars. But on top of that we must purify our souls through selflessness and forbearance. Islam is very rich and encompasses all aspects of life

[@hayderghulam5057]

hey cojak, ich bin ein Pakistaner aus Deutschland und Feier deine Interpretationen und wie du den Musikalischen und den Lyrischen Teil einzelne versuchst zu "bewerten". Ich würde dir gerne eine Sache sagen, nämlich geht es in diesem Lied darum, dass das Leben in Wirklichkeit zeitlich begrenzt ist und wir in diesem Leben nicht nur auf's weltliche sondern auch die spirituelle Seite in Waage halten sollen, denn nur so können wir "Sinnvoll" unser Leben verbringen. Außerdem ist es sehr interessant deine Interpretation als Atheist auf Sufi Kalam zu sehen, da man eigentlich sehr deutlich merkt das du eventuell garnicht komplett Atheistisch denkst und eventuell offen bist für ein Glauben. Du hast es zwar schon richtig erwähnt, das der Glaube in Deutschland gefühlt am Boden ist, aber das muss ja nicht heißen, nur weil es für die Allgemeinheit gilt, so gilt es auch für dich. Mach weiter und falls du Lust und Zeit hast würde ich dir eine Qawalli von dem König Aller Qawalls empfehlen, nämlich von Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

[@cojakrap]

Das stimmt, agnostisch trifft es eher. Auch erwähne ich Gott oft in meinen eigenen Texten. Nusrat wird auf jeden Fall auf den Kanal kommen.

[@hayderghulam5057]

korrekt, ich freue mich schon auf Nusrat Fateh Ali khan, wobei ich dir "Allah Hoo" von ihm empfehlen würde, da dort auch ein Englischer Untertitel vorhanden ist.

[@mahnoornajeeb7826]

@Cojak the lyrics are basically talking about people who are deluded into MAD LOVE for money, fame, power etc. It does not mean that one must not work towards a good lifestyle. But if one is focused on lavish lifestyle and ignoring their relationship with God then it is wrong! Example in the song it talks about people owning pearls, diamonds etc, building mansions, hurting/ignoring the people the love when their love for materialistic things is above anyone+anything that is what is criticized. (Sufism)Islam does not discourage to earn or build a good life etc. In the Quran, God says: وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا and do not forget the portion you are owed in this life - Quran 28:77

Religion and spirituality are 2 different things. You say you are not religious, but that just means you didn't adopt a specific man-made creed of approaching the divine. The divine can be experienced in every infinite way. The religion is heavily influenced by what cultures you grew up in or were exposed to, but the understanding of the infinite divine is present in all cultures, and cannot be captured by any single one; each one adds to the bigger picture. Science, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. are all flavors aimed in the same general direction, and when these ingredients are combined they can make a flavourful dish

[@syedsibtehassanshamsi7457]

In islam, it is believed that God (Allah Almighty) made body of every human being and when put soul in it, it turns to life, so humans are called Khaki Banda (man of clay). Song says that people should not blindly follow their lusts but follow the comands of God. People though money, big houses and other material things will make them great and successful. Even religious people when visit Mecca where Kaba (house of God) and Madina where house and grave of Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h exists, they think they are more respectable than others. But its wrong, only the love for humanity is important. The real human being is one who follows comands of God, believes himself lesser than others and help others.
