So with this stanza Nusratji (or whichever poet first adopted the bhajan) pays homage to Mirabai's original intention for the poem.<br /><br />The qawwali does add a few new stanzas not found in the original (such as drinking matva), which are metaphors not commonly used in bhajans, but of course very common in qawwalis.<br /><br />All in all, it's wonderful to see that devotion can be so universal. For in the end, no matter which version of the Ultimate Inspiration the prayer is sung for, the music remains divine.sabri.maqboolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012607472454304840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875809756426862174.post-65679332148635214332011-08-06T01:04:35.738+05:002011-08-06T01:04:35.738+05:00Glad you enjoyed.
