Dear viewers/ listeners,
This is a home jam connecting two sufi minstrels from 19th Century to 21st Century. The version of Nishithe jaiyo Phulobone, that is sung here is not the one most Bengalis are familiar with. This is the original writing and composition of Sheikh Bhanu, a Sufi, Marefati saint from Sylhet, Bangladesh. Sheikh Bhanu along with Dwijo Das, Abdul Jabber and many other sufi saints from mid 19th Century East Bengal are not well known to a lot of Bengali audiences from today. The song is collected from Haramoni, the title of a13-volume collection of Bengali folksongs by Muhammed Mansooruddin. Mansooruddin collected more than 5000 folksongs from different parts of Bengal. He compiled them in a series of volumes and the titled them after the name of a regular section of monthly literary magazine Probashi that was earmarked for publishing folk songs collected from rural areas. Haramoni literally means Lost Jewels.
The version of Sachin Dev Burman and Palli Kobi Jasimuddin was written and composed as a love song much later.
Tumba Kehnda Hain is a Sindhi Punjabi sufi song written by Sain Zahoor, one of the living sufi legends of today from Pakistan. Born in Sulaimanki, a village in Depalpur Tehsil of Okara district in the province of Punjab, Zahoor Ahmad was the youngest child in a rural peasant family.[3][5] He is said to have started singing at the age of Seven,[4] and from that early age, he had dreamt of a hand beckoning him towards a shrine. roaming the Sufi shrines of Sindh, Punjab, making a living through singing. Zahoor claims that as he was walking past a small shrine in the south Punjab town of Uch Sharif (known for its Sufi traditions), when "someone waved at me with his hand, inviting me in, and I suddenly realised that it was this hand which I saw in my dream."
I am not a great singer myself, but these songs are friends of everyday in my life. For us privileged people who can afford clinical terms like depression and anxiety, the true antidote is to look at millions of those people who work day and night in fields, plantations, mines, roads, factories and kitchens, who can't afford much but to just earn their everyday living and a right to sing a song in the evenings in their well deserved solitude.
Enjoy. Share. Help.
