Kashif Din lends his voice to "Saqi-e-Bawafa Manam", a timeless Persian qasida penned by the revered mystic poet Hazrat Shams Tabrizi (R.A). This piece, translating to "I am the Loyal Cupbearer", beautifully explores spiritual ecstasy and devotion to Ali, a revered figure in Islam and a symbol of divine love and guidance in Shia tradition. The lyrics resonate with a continuous, heartfelt chant of "Ali Ali", invoking a profound spiritual connection.
In this particular rendition, the element of dhikr, "Ali Ali Haq Ali Ali" (Ali is the truth), has been beautifully added by Kashif Din to further enhance and evoke emotions and spiritual ecstasy.
The musical landscape of this qasida is richly layered with the enchanting sounds of the flute and rubab, masterfully played by Shehzad Hunzai. These elements enhance the spiritual narrative, weaving a tapestry of sound that complements the depth of the lyrics.
"Saqi-e-Bawafa Manam" is a spiritual odyssey that bridges ancient mystical wisdom with the contemporary search for meaning. This qasida holds a special place in the hearts of communities around the world and especially across Northern Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
