Blown To Smithereens - Ye Kangna

If you ask me to be honest, I can’t write anything right now. I am totally absolutely blown away by this BEAUTY!

If the sensation of smoking into the skies could be realized, I am sure it wouldn’t be much off the mark!

It’s the feeling of letting Love reducing one to ashes, and from those ashes witnessing the rise of a phoenix- pure Love. Total rapture.

Oh my!

I feel it resonating in each shred of my being. 

Ye kangna!

KANGNA – FAREED AYAZ & ABU MUHAMMAD
 Title: Kangna – کنگنا – Bracelet
 Language: Braj, Persian
Poetry: Mirza Qateel (d. 1817), Bedam Shah Warsi (d. 1936) and others

In a probable depiction of the way early qawwali was rendered, Kangna borrows liberally from a variety of sub-continental influences to convey a message of universal love. While the essentially spiritual theme is expressed through the imagery of culturally significant symbolism, in both idiomatic Hindi and in Farsi, the emotional relevance of the raag, Malkauns in combination with musical elements from Hindu devotional music enhances the conceptual basis of Kangna.

ما را بہ غمزہ کشت و قضا را بہانہ ساخت
ma ra bah ghamzah kusht o qaza ra bahaanah saakht
kill us she did with coquetry and made “fate” the excuse
خود سوئے ما نہ دید و حیا را بہانہ ساخت
khud su-i ma nah deed o haya ra bahaanah saakht
she willfully failed to look our way and made “shyness” the excuse

بر دوشِ غیر دست نہاد از رہِ کرم
bar dosh-i ghair dast nihaad az rah-i karam
out of favour for the stranger (our rival), on his shoulder did she place her hand
ما را چو دید لغزشِ پا را بہانہ ساخت
ma ra chu deed laghzish-i pa ra bahaanah saakht
the moment she sighted us, she made “a slip of the foot” the excuse

لپک جھپک اور آن اچانک رنگ ڈارو
lapak jhapak aur aan achaanak rang ḍaaro
deftly, in the wink of an eye, he cast his colour on me
موہے مدھوا پلایو
mohe madhawa pilaayo
made me drink such heady wine (that I lost myself in him)
ایسے رنگیلے کے بیدم واری
aise rangeele ke bedam waari
Bedam is sacrificed on such a rakish charmer
جن موہے لال گلال بنایو
jin mohe laal gulaal banaayo
who coloured me ruddy, rapturous red!
