An initiative to document the mystical/bhagti poetry, devotional songs, and folklore of Sindh.

Folk music is so moving. It's very transcendental and encompassing and devotional and whatnot!

I came across a duet song comprising of verses from Tagore's and Kabir's poems. It starts with "majhe majhe tobo dekha pai" meaning I catch a glimple of You for a while, and then You're lost like a fleeting cloud. Tagore complaining to his element of search as to why that can not always be easy to find and hold? Then Kabir coming to his rescue, "mo ko kahan dhondy re banday" i.e., why looking elsewhere? I am always with you, always in your reach. Then someone suggesting in the comment section that one more poem of Tagoe could also be added; "Tomay hrid majharey rakhbo," meaning I will keep you in my heart - always!

آسمان ۾ چنڊ آهي،
۽ زمين تي گاھ آهي،
تون ڪٿي آهين!؟

In the following song, Hassan Dars's quest to locate his subject of interest within and beyond the elements of his perception is so resounding and utterly a call from a piece to its whole. An extension to the expression of universal longing, and perhaps a thread that ties all the poets together like beads in a necklace. It is through languages that we feel grounded and through songs that we feel connected. Poets being embassadors of inclusiveness. How beautiful is the world from their eyes!

If you have been rushing through life, and are overwhelmed by it, Kabir assures you to take a deep breath and let your nerves calm down! Nature has a subtle way of putting things in order, steadily. Trust its phenomenon of perfecting a small wild flower in centuries, and let life happen in moments. Trust the process!
