qawwali for the past ten years. With conservative

Download Qawwali Songs
Qawwali is a venerable yet refreshing musical
tradition that dates back to the late
13th century. The word qaul refers to an
"utterance (of the prophet)" and the
first Qawwals (qawwali artists) repeated
these qauls by making them the subject matter of
their qawwalis.

Tracks included are

• Tujhe Dekhen (When I Look At You) - Bahadur Shah
  Zafar
• Mahi Ve Tere (To Steal a Glance of You) - Folk

  You) - Tahir Faraz

• Rone Se Ishq Mein Bebak Ho Gaye (Weeping Deepened
  My Love) - Mirza Ghalib

The ghazal genre does not concentrate on the
questions of who or why, nor does it create
limitations to the portrayal of the Beloved. What
ghazals emphasize are the themes of love itself
 and the tribulations of the lover . The lover
must endure in their unconditional admiration for
the Beloved and quest for Union. Qawwali Ghazals
narrate the journey of the lover-protagonist and
the suffering, cruelty, and sacrifices in their
attempts to reach the beloved.

The songs which constitute the qawwali repertoire
are mostly in Urdu and Punjabi (almost equally
divided between the two), although there are
several songs in Brajbhasha and Persian. The
poetry is implicitly understood to be spiritual
in its meaning and the central themes are love,
devotion and longing (for the Divine). Qawwalis
are classified by their content into several
categories.
