These are the Lyrics of Saint Meera Bai a Hindu and one of the greatest devotees of lord Krishna are all about the love of God, the beloved, the lover.

This is sung by Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (a Muslim and One Of the greatest Hindi/urdu Singers of all times) and Remixed by Andre Auntunes (a Portuguese Guitarist giving this Bhajan/kawali/song reincarnation) And We All Love this Blend Of Different eras, Cultures.

Legendary Pakistani Singer goes Metal [Sanson Ki Mala Pe]

The Lover is Krishna, the lover is God!

Firstly it is a spiritual hymn written by a great Indian devotee Saint Meera Bai to her lord (Lord Shri Krishna), then it is sung by legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, that too in the form of a qawwali. And now in the modern age of heavy metal music its remixed version is truly a mesmerizing example of it. Truly music has no boundaries, it is free from any bondage.

I must also point out the amazing guitar solo taking the energy of God to new hights!

TRANSLATION AND MEANING:
Andre my man love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Thank you. For you and other listeners - It is almost impossible to capture the emotion of this song in any other language and originally it is much longer. But it is a soul shaking experience to listen to this while understanding the context and meaning, here is a rough english translation and my attempt at explaining the context of the excerpt used here:

SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PI KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)

PREM KE RUNG MEIN AISE DOBI BUN GAYA AIK HE ROOP
In the color of love, I drowned myself in such a way that we became one (enthralled in His/Her love to a point that the two of us are indistinguishable)

PREM KI MAALA JAPTE JAPTE AAP BANI MEIN SHAYAAM
Beading the garland of love my beloved's name I myself became God (SHAYAM)
(in pursuit of this love I forgot about my own physical and spiritual existence)

PREETAM KA KUCH DOSH NAHI HAI, WO TO HAI NIRDOSH
My beloved is not guilty He is innocent he is blemish less (Do not blame Him/Her for my transgressions and claims, he/she is the most pure)

APNE AAP SE BAATEIN KER KE HOO GAYI MEIN BADNAAM
It is by talking to myself that I got a bad repute , bad name (from what you see, people are justified to think I am insane)

JEEVAN KA SHINGAR HAI PREETAM, MAANG KA HAI SINDOOR
My beloved is the beautification and adornment of life and vermilion in my hair (His/Her glory is unmatched, and beyond your comprehension - he/she exists in all things beautiful and is my pride)

PREETAM KI NAZROON SE GIR KER JEENA HAI KISS KAAM
If fallen from the eyes of my beloved, what is the point of living then (His/Her approval is all that I need, do not care about any of you/ anything else)

SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PEE KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)

Dropping a comment so that everytime someone likes it, i can come back and listen to this master piece

When I say I have complicated music tastes, this is exactly what I mean.

Most people will not realise Andre's genius behind this arrangement. He literally recomposed the song to fit into the western musical lingua, while preserving the eastern essence and distilled the best of both traditions.

In Tokyo 1988 when he sang, the Japanese audience was so overpowered by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan they said this was the "Singing Buddha"
This metal version is really awesome 👌

I did not know I needed pakistani folk metal in my life until I listened to this song. Voice is epic. Greets from Argentina

Pleasantly surprised to find this used in the Netflix series Crashing Eid

This is Andre's masterpiece. 7 months and I keep coming back for it. 7 years and I'll be here. It's so, so good.

Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a powerhouse, but the other vocalist was unbelievable. Those sustained notes and micro notes, and inflections were divine. I have never heard anything like it before. Blown away.

Lyrics of a bhajan , sung in Kawali , cover by metal , Music truly knows no bounds . Love and appreciation from India

Meera, better known as Mirabai, and venerated as Sant Meerabai, was a 16th-century Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna. She is a celebrated Bhakti saint, particularly in the North Indian Hindu tradition.[3][4][5] She is mentioned in Bhaktamal, confirming that she was widely known and a cherished figure in the Bhakti movement by about 1600.

Mirabai was born into a Rathore Rajput royal family in Kudki (modern-day Beawar district of Rajasthan), and spent her childhood in Merta. She was the daughter of Ratan Singh and grand daughter of Rao Dudaji of Merta.

Meera unwillingly married Bhoj Raj, the crown prince of Mewar, in 1516. Her husband was wounded in one of the ongoing wars with the Delhi Sultanate in 1518, and he died from battle wounds in 1521. Both her father and father-in-law (Rana Sanga) died a few days after their defeat in the Battle of Khanwa against Babur, the first Mughal Emperor.

After the death of Rana Sanga, Vikram Singh became the ruler of Mewar. According to a popular legend, her in-laws tried to assassinate her multiple times. These attempts included sending Meera a glass of poison and telling her it was nectar, and sending her a basket with a snake instead of flowers.with the snake miraculously becoming a Krishna idol or a garland of flowers. In another version of these legends, she is asked by Vikram Singh to drown herself. When she attempts to do so, she merely floats on the water. Yet another legend states that the third Mughal emperor, Akbar, came with Tansen to visit Meera and presented her with a pearl necklace.

Most legends about Mirabai mention her fearless disregard for social and family conventions, her devotion to Krishna, her treatment of Krishna as her husband, and her persecution by her in-laws for her religious devotion. She has been the subject of numerous folk tales and saintly legends.

Millions of devotional hymns in passionate praise of Krishna are attributed to Meerabai in the Indian tradition, but just a few hundred are believed to be authentic by scholars, and the earliest written records suggest that except for two hymns, most were first written down in the 18th century. Many poems attributed to Meera were likely composed later by the most famous musicians who admired Meera. These hymns are a type of Bhajan, and are very famous across India.

Some Hindu temples, such as Chittor Fort, are dedicated to Mirabai's memory. Legends about Mirabai's life have been the subject of movies, films, comic strips and other popular literature in modern times.
