Abida parveen is so high spiritual intellect that she wanders and enjoy in next level of singing. Her focus remains on the message of the lyrics. Many ppl find her difficult to understand. But she is the greatest sufi singer at present. You can see here she doesn't adjust to music, the music adjust with her 😇😇😇
I’m black African and Christian, and not familiar with Pakistani music, but this touched me to the core too. It transcends culture, race, religion, geography.....I sense something of God channelled through their voices.
Just the singers are Pakistanis the poem is written by amir khusro a sufi Saint, from region of magadh, now bihar. Pakistan came into existence after 1947. Typical Western problem.
I literally cried too. Music connects souls and it lifts up and relaxes your soul. Love sufi songs, so meaningful and beautiful. Lots of love to Pakistan from India. 🤗❤

While I cannot blame you, there are various incidents favoring your claim. But irony is not every link or website you visit will give you authentic claims. Sufi qawali or songs are also one way to connect with divine and inner God, just like any bhajan or shloka sung by saints. Amir khusro was in the era where mughal tyrants were invading our country. At that time they didn't need a propaganda to force convert, mere threat of life was enough or at the max luring towards a source of business income was enough to push communities to change their religion. Don't belive everything which one source tells you. Listen to these songs and decide by yourself, are you getting tempted to convert to other religion? You will get an answer.
@tarannum rana Really, so that's what you interpreted!! 👏 Just like Mr peace, I would say to you that it's not your fault. Time is such. But try to interpret this spiritually, you will get that. The moment you dwell your inner consciousness into Prabhu, these outer wordly identities become secondary. So once again, do some more search. Peace out!!
I cry my face off everytime I hear this song.. You know, when you connect to your Creator as you are and you just feel accepted, seen and loved and the ego self fades away that's when those tears come out. Beautiful. No wonder your eyes got sweaty. Sending you love❤
I've never in ny life seen such an honest and true reaction for this beautiful soulful creation, from a non-hindi speaker.. The way you felt the song man. I don't know where you are in your life right now.. But you my friend, are going places. Much love❤

On hearing this for the first time I felt the same thing, it's beyond words really. It's the divine soul resonating through her voice that opens your heart to rapture.
That's actually truly and purest connection to almighty God. They are singing a song (Kalam) written by a Muslim saint. It's pure Sufi song and connects listeners to God directly beyond their religions, race, languages and region.
And the singers are classically trained singers who are legends in their own rights. The vocal range, powerful belting, the nuances can but touch anyone

'Chaap' is worn by muslims and 'Tilak' is taken on forehead by hindus. So the chorus roughly translates to, 'You've snatched chap tilak and everything when your eyes met mine. ' And it's not wrong saying 'You've snatched every trace of me' because chap and tilak are symbols of Hindu and muslim religion. But when you're finally awakened and englightened and that one universal soul's eyes meet your eyes there is no turning back. You realise all these religious symbols and rituals and everything are nonsense. And every lyrics which seems like romanticised is actually refers to that one ultimate reality which people call god.

Hey John, that was so generous of you, undoubtedly you're a true & pure soul.. and of course, music needs no language, it carries the divinity & purity with it.. so true music hits the soul really hard.. for your further info, this song *Chhap Tilak* was originally written by Indian Sufi poet, singer, musician and scholar *Hazrat Amir Khusrow* almost 800 years ago in 13th century, when Pakistan was just a part of India, it is always sung in India & Pakistan with the genre of Indian classical music.. and this is not the only creation of Khusrow which is frequently sung in India & Pakistan.. you'll find so many even on TH-cam.. and what can we say about these 2 living legends.. they're just out of this world.. stay blessed..👍🏻
This songs describes the bliss experienced by a disciple after seeing his Spiritual Master... written by legendary Ustad Amir khusro by coupled with amazing vocals of Abida Parvez and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan .... If there is a soul and if you have it ...tears will roll out ... Thats the joy the soul feels
You have so pure soul brother GOD BLESS YOU Whenever come to this KALAM i got emotional as well eyes full of tears as well Loads of love and apperception from Lahore Pakistan
Agree completely, music is totally universal. Also when masters put their whole heart into it and make the piece emote it does touch the soul at a very primal level . This piece was originally written by Ameer Khusrau (1253-1325) in the late 1200s , as an emotive transcendent tribute to his spiritual master . And obviously the love he talks about is both human and through that to the spiritual love of the divine .
You look so emotionally touched and affected after 3:30 ... it was so visible in your face. I know, how you felt though, we all get the same emotional crunch when these legends blow our hearts and souls, believe me. So glad to see you enjoy these treasures. No words can even come close to describing what we all feel collective. Just blessed with grace and blessings to have witnessed this. Amen
When a person cries and the tear comes out from right side of the eye, it's called tears of joy. I can totally feel what you were feeling while listening to this song.. This is when you make pure connection with your master 💞 Purest form of love... Much love from India 🕊️
OMG....!The greatest and purest ever reaction....You are a genuine soul...That is called Sufi music,it is genre of music that connects you to Divine's love...This masterpiece is about 150 years old from Nizam uddin Auliya(A sufi)Ofcourse,no one can judge these living legends...

An ardent fan of Abida Parvin, since the era of tape recorders. Every time I listen to her voice, can feel explosion of divine joy in my grey cells. This particular composition transcends all the boundaries of language, religion, ethnicity and even that of human existence. It's cathartic! Cleanses the blemishes of my soul and for a brief, very brief moment I can feel the presence of the divine within! Ahom Brahmasmi!!
I cried when I first listened to this song. It shows how true a voice is as it sways you with actually and factual raw meaning of the lyrics. Thank you for reacting to this song. :)
Two of the Greatest singers in the world in the same room singing together ❤ The word legend is often used to loosely these days but should be reserved for true LIVING LEGENDS like these two 👏🙌👌
This is the love of Amir Khusro for his mentor , his Guru Khawja Nizam us din Aulia. This is power of true love without any compromise just pure love for the beloved in which he sees the God and his beloved Prophet Muhammad Salal laho alyhe wasalam. What you have experienced is a fraction of fire which Amir Khusro was going through.
@@garyreilly2025 well to be honest I was also emotional when I heard this song first time. This song is all about to connect your self with your God by your mentor, your teacher, your lover, our David, our ,moses, our Jesus, our Muhammad (PBU on all of them and your Spiritual Guide, Preacher, Cleric, Advisor. You can also call it some kind of pray with pure heart that you are remembering the most superior one up in the heaven through his follower in this world who has very strong connection with God. That's why he got emotional because he felt some purity through the vocals that these vocal are for someone special although he dosent understand urdu language and his feelings. I hope you have clarity about his reaction.PEACE👍
I discovered Coke Studios about 3 years ago, feel in love with this ghazel and order a couple of her tapes on Amazaon. This is the most divine poetry right now in the 21st century
@@alexi2460 no, it's Indian in origin. Parts of it are in Persian language and the rest is in Khadi Boli(Hindvi/Hindustani/Hindi). Chaap means the mark a Muslim worshipper gets due to prostration in namaaz/prayers and "Tilak" means the orange/saffron mark the Hindu priests/worshippers put on their heads. This is pure Indian poetry, it's not a 'Ghazal' btw
Abida parveen is a legend of sufi singing in Pakistan. The reason for the tears of the host is the spiritual message hit his soul and that's why sufi singers are popular its all genuine. And Abida parveens voice can heal the spirit her voice is a blessing.
I appreciate you sir. You have connected spiritually to this song. Those tears are coming from the your depth and understanding of what’s been heard. You don’t have to understand the language to understand the message of love and you sir have clearly shown the love ❤️. This is the message of sufi music . To connect with the oneness within
Music is truly universal .... I realised that when as a young child I watched Ratatouille and heard Camille sing 'Le Festin' My god....did that not blow me away!!! I couldn't understand any lyrics.... Just knew it was French... But that voice... That feel... That's for every human being to feel.

I know, how you felt though, we all get the same emotional crunch when these legends blow our hearts and souls, believe me. So glad to see you enjoy these treasures. No words can even come close to describing what we all feel collective. Just blessed with grace and blessings to have witnessed this. Amen
When a person cries and the tear comes out from right side of the eye, it's called tears of joy. I can totally feel what you were feeling while listening to this song.. This is when you make pure connection with your master 💞 Purest form of love... Much love from India 🕊️
Trueee
the Mightiest Master None Other than Allah swt.....
But don't trust these Americans they will do anything for money ...we people from the Asian subcontinent r very emotional and gullible
OMG....!The greatest and purest ever reaction....You are a genuine soul...That is called Sufi music,it is genre of music that connects you to Divine's love...This masterpiece is about 150 years old from Nizam uddin Auliya(A sufi)Ofcourse,no one can judge these living legends...
Great comment, however this poetry and composition is closer to 900 years old. Amir Khusrau and his guru Nizamuddin Aulia lived in the 11th century.
@@alirizwanbhujwala5628 who converted hindus in large nos including your fore fathers
@@AG-sh1pi we are grateful to all of them who made us closer to the ultimate Supreme Divine Power 😍
@@AG-sh1pi They weren't converted forcefully like you guys are forcefully converting sikhs and muslims in your own so called 'secular country'. I am glad that my forefathers realized the truth and became muslims
@Arnave Goutam!My forefathers migrated from Iraq to India(Subcontinent)they were Muslims.Not all are converted from Hinduism but a lot of Muslims are offsprings of Arab Muslims and We are glad that we are Muslims.”May God show every one the right path”
Pakistan and India are like yin and yang..... Hope someday we can see the submergence of these.. some day... You may say I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.....
Akhand Bharat
With you 🙌
I second you🤚
No need to merge.. just agreeing upon one thing is sufficient... line has been drawn even if one try to erase it marks will always remain
I am with you, with your dream. ভালোবাসা
An ardent fan of Abida Parvin, since the era of tape recorders. Every time I listen to her voice, can feel explosion of divine joy in my grey cells. This particular composition transcends all the boundaries of language, religion, ethnicity and even that of human existence. It's cathartic! Cleanses the blemishes of my soul and for a brief, very brief moment I can feel the presence of the divine within! Ahom Brahmasmi!!
Bhai ye lady ki awaz me kuch alag he 😭😭😭 hit me hard man 🥺🥺 cant express my feeling 🥺
I cried when I first listened to this song. It shows how true a voice is as it sways you with actually and factual raw meaning of the lyrics. Thank you for reacting to this song. :)
Hey dear .. if you’re reading this then you’ve a good taste of music.. wlcm to this beautiful world 🙂🙂
Bro you felt the music .. the sound of voice . That's all it is .. and the tears is result if how deep the sound and voice hits
When you could connect on the spiritual level, the language doesn’t matter and the tears reflect that connection ❤️
Two of the Greatest singers in the world in the same room singing together ❤
The word legend is often used to loosely these days but should be reserved for true LIVING LEGENDS like these two 👏🙌👌
Lion heart is my favourite movie and my my favourite super star Jean Claude Van Vandame
This is the love of Amir Khusro for his mentor , his Guru Khawja Nizam us din Aulia. This is power of true love without any compromise just pure love for the beloved in which he sees the God and his beloved Prophet Muhammad Salal laho alyhe wasalam. What you have experienced is a fraction of fire which Amir Khusro was going through.
Music is universal language. If aliens are even out there, they would still. Understand tthe feel of it.
For all those who dont know who are these singers..YOU ARE JUST LISTENING TO LEGENDS..🔥🔥
Two legends of Sub Continent
I'm sorry, but I really didnt get it. I found this guys reaction to be completely false. Explain why it's so good please. Maybe I'll change my mind
@@garyreilly2025 well to be honest I was also emotional when I heard this song first time. This song is all about to connect your self with your God by your mentor, your teacher, your lover, our David, our ,moses, our Jesus, our Muhammad (PBU on all of them and your Spiritual Guide, Preacher, Cleric, Advisor. You can also call it some kind of pray with pure heart that you are remembering the most superior one up in the heaven through his follower in this world who has very strong connection with God.
That's why he got emotional because he felt some purity through the vocals that these vocal are for someone special although he dosent understand urdu language and his feelings. I hope you have clarity about his reaction.PEACE👍
@@tigertrone4307 I guess u gotta be indian to get it, it was really lost on me, in fact I really couldnt watch it all.
@@garyreilly2025 No mate I'm not Indian.lol.
😉now that you have properly entered our music world... welcome brother...
Now pls go for coke stuio's "Rung" to be blown away more in the clouds
I now feel somewhat proud to kinda lead him towards this direction with that Zakir Hussain comment. This is great stuff!!
Which comment?
In his Shofukan video
This is not only voice... Its a ray to enter ur whole soul
The beauty of this song is that the more you listen to it the more beautiful it gets...
❤️
I discovered Coke Studios about 3 years ago, feel in love with this ghazel and order a couple of her tapes on Amazaon. This is the most divine poetry right now in the 21st century
Yeah this poetry was written in the 13tj century by Amir Khusrao and it's still so fresh
@@fakhrussalhin3149 is it Persian in origin?
@@alexi2460 no, it's Indian in origin. Parts of it are in Persian language and the rest is in Khadi Boli(Hindvi/Hindustani/Hindi). Chaap means the mark a Muslim worshipper gets due to prostration in namaaz/prayers and "Tilak" means the orange/saffron mark the Hindu priests/worshippers put on their heads. This is pure Indian poetry, it's not a 'Ghazal' btw
Sufi Music at its best. These two maestros have created a magical rendition.
*Oh man I got emotional with John and started crying, can't explain feelings❤🙏*
Abida parveen is a legend of sufi singing in Pakistan. The reason for the tears of the host is the spiritual message hit his soul and that's why sufi singers are popular its all genuine. And Abida parveens voice can heal the spirit her voice is a blessing.
One extremely underrated song by Coke Studio Pakistan is "Rung Laaga" by Sajjad Ali and Sanam Marvi. The most moving among them all! 😭❤️
I appreciate you sir. You have connected spiritually to this song. Those tears are coming from the your depth and understanding of what’s been heard. You don’t have to understand the language to understand the message of love and you sir have clearly shown the love ❤️. This is the message of sufi music . To connect with the oneness within
He was trying to hide his tears but how it is possible to hide such joyful tears when you are listening to these divine souls ♥️
This was the same reaction I had when I first listened to the song ❤️❤️
Music is so powerful ❤️
This is the beauty of music that brings the whole universe together not just different cultures. Thanks John
Welcome to the music industry of Pakistan we have a spell in our music,now you can't step back and can't even forget it.......... Enjoy
Music is haram In Islam

Music has no boundary. And no language ❤️ it's emotion at its best nothing else
Love from Pakistan !
Music is truly universal .... I realised that when as a young child I watched Ratatouille and heard Camille sing 'Le Festin' My god....did that not blow me away!!! I couldn't understand any lyrics.... Just knew it was French... But that voice... That feel... That's for every human being to feel.
Oh, dear John, you made me cry honestly. This is the power of spiritual music and poetry.
Best ever reaction..... Sufism is crown of indian classical music 😍
Its not indian.music its pakistani music ok
@@kashifjuttali4674 yes they are Pakistani .,but the india is the origion of classical music ...
But now there is no any classic song in india just rap and Pop why badshah neha tony hoeny
Your reaction is so beautifully authentic and as someone from an indian asian heritage, its touching that you felt this as deeply as we do
I feel blessed to have grown with music like this playing around me. I feel you brother and I feel every tear of yours.
Love and respect 🙏
I get emotional whenever I hear this song. This is divine music.
Still crying,so in depth and indulged sir John ...what a reaction by John sir
I m feeling blessed and proud bcz I born in patiyali. The birth place of Amir khusro.very heart touching song.
Braj Bhasha can be considered the parent dialect of present day Urdu and Hindi
I have started to feel that Pakistan is the best country in the world. Wonderful music, great culture, people full of humility. What an amazing country man❤️ Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
Pakistan is politically different identity .....But, she has everything ,literally everything borrowed...
@@raj-hf4wb pakistan vo tukda hai humara jisme sab kuch hamare jaisa hi hai bs vaha hindu nahi hain
Aur yakeen man bhai pakistan me nahi balki bharat me aatankiyo ki factory hai, bharat se log aatanki bante hai... Devbandi, barelvi.....
Pakistani and Indian music is same if u look at history of Indian music
@@_kunal_ch_ Incorrect!! Pakistani has a history of thousands of years because it is the heart of the indus valley civilization which dates back to atleat 5000 BC, if not more. And Pakistani music is heavily influenced by Islam/sufism, combined with great Persian and Urdu poetry.
What a beautiful man. Unafraid to cry. I respect this guy....with ALL my heart and soul. Don't care what religion he belongs to.....
When someone heard these voices,they become speechless naturally,no matter who's lessening, r from which part of that planet r which religion.
This is purely divine, it travels through heart by heart from heart to heart.....it heals you out from every bit inside deep into your soul with divinity...
Such a beautiful song, one of my absolute favourite ❤️from 🇮🇳
Uff abida ji singing just blow the mind , what a umf factor she has in her voice , Rahat ji is great as he always gets is.
I loved this man yaar.. He literally cried.. I mean are you even a human if you don't cry while listening to these legends..! I've cried each and every time while listening this masterpiece.. ❤️
Two legends abida perveen g and rahat fathe ali khan 😍❤️❤️❤️
So refreshing to see your real and raw emotion from these two legends of music. There is only one god and when our minds are pure and free music can take us to that spiritual world. Rahat ji and Abida Ji both were outstanding. God bless you John your a good soul buddy
Allah bless us dear...oneness

I don't know how but I swear I watched chaap tilak video today, and I was in awe just like you are!! I cried till the video ended...Also while watching this tears are rolling down!
I just felt something surreal, something that the words can never described!
But I guess this is how music works! It touches your soul and lefts you speechless.. Kudos to everyone for bringing this masterpiece together.
May we all heal through music and connect with each other. Let's make this world a better place✨✨
Stay Safe everyone!
Thank you for the touching words
☺️🙏🏻
That, dear friends, is the right reaction.
If tears don't well up inside when you listen to this, you missed the entire song.
These are spiritual notes, they’ll touch your soul.
Just loved the reaction,one of the best reactions on this song, please react to "paar channa de" from Coke studio Pakistan. Just checked out your recommendation, it's beautiful, enjoyed the song, thank you for recommending it.
Pakistani songs are mostly called sufi songs and these kinds of songs of are literally called soul soothing and mesmerising
These are not Pakistani song....Sufi song are representation of Hindu Muslims mix culture. Listen to the lyrics what's it saying. Chap tilak ....does Pakistani use tilak
@@tstanmoysamanta i did not say its muslim culture inspired, but Pakistani and we have hindus and Christians so obviously it does traced in both
@@ImranKhan-kq4bh Dude do even know there is a thing called History.....how much you try to change it...its never gonna change...good luck bro...in India we always gonna cherish these songs as a part of our culture.
@@tstanmoysamanta we even rejoice such sufi songs but never exclusive to other cultures and religions! In history we were part of same territory but different religious ideology. I clearly understood history and therefore saying that we share so much of same practices and beliefs
@Imran Love from India bro... this song connects soul for sure
If this doesn’t bring tears.. I don’t know what would.. so overwhelming.. speechless
Sufi music touches soul and talks about the deep connection with the one(the Almighty).
