- Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience: A Home-Cooked Meal with the Niazi Nizami Brothers
Imagine enjoying a meal cooked by the family of the renowned 'Niazi Nizami Brothers'-Hasan, Haider, and Imran Niazi-the Qawwals of Nizamuddin. For 700 years, their family has carried on the traditions of Sufi music from the time of Amir Khusrau. We were privileged to spend an afternoon with them, listening to anecdotes about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, with whom their family has performed in the past. The afternoon was made even more special by an impromptu She'O'Shayari session by their father.
The feast, prepared by the ladies of the house, honored the traditions of the past with dishes that are not readily available to the uninitiated. This truly home-cooked meal was as passionate as the concert that followed. We were treated to beautiful and heartfelt recitals of Amir Khusrau's classics, "Sakal Ban" and "Aaj Rang Hai."

Amir Khusrau, also known as Abu’l Hasan Yamn ud-Din Khusrau, was an Indian Sufi singer, musician, poet, and scholar who flourished under the Delhi Sultanate. He was born in 1253 and died in 1325. In the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent, he is a legendary person. He was a mystic and Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, India, was his spiritual teacher. He primarily composed poetry in Persian, although he also wrote in Hindavi. He is frequently credited with creating the Haliq Bari, a poetry vocabulary that includes phrases from Arabic, Persian, and Hindavi. Khusrau has been referred to be the “founder of Urdu literature,” the “voice of India,” or the “Parrot of India” (Tuti-e-Hind). Khusrau is credited as being the “founder of qawwali,” a Sufi devotional singing style that is still extensively practised in Pakistan and India.
Translation: Aaj Rang Hai
What a glow everywhere I see, Oh mother, what a glow;
I’ve found the beloved, yes I found him,
In my courtyard;
I have found my pir Nizamuddin Aulia.
I roamed around the entire world,
looking for an ideal beloved;
And finally this face has enchanted my heart.
The whole world has been opened for me,
Never seen a glow like this before.
Whenever I see now, he is with me,
Oh beloved, please dye me in yourself;
Dye me in the colour of the spring, beloved;
What a glow, Oh, what a glow.
Translation- Sakal Ban
The yellow mustard is blooming in every field,
Mango buds are clicking open, other flowers too;
The koyal chirps from branch to branch,
And the maiden tries her make-up,
The gardener-girls have brought bouquets.
Colourful flowers of all kinds,
In hands everyone’s bringing;
But Aashiq-rung (the lover), who had promised to come
To Nizamuddin’s house in spring,
Hasn’t turned up - its been years.
The yellow mustard is blooming in every field.

Their father, Ghulam Qadir Niazi sahab is my teacher, I have such happy memories with these blokes! Imraan was literally in 10th standard when I used to go to their home to learn. They are very kind and beautiful people, this family is the sweetest! They would make me stay for meals after classes on several occasions! Ahh, I miss them always, more now!!
Must have been such a lovely experience
This is the kind of content that fills me with joy and so much life. This is so wholesome and full of love. Thank you so much, brothers❤
Thanks, we loved this episode
This has stopped being a food show and reminds me more of "no reservations". I love it!
It was meant to be that, and hopefully goes back to that style. Thanks for comparing this to our spirit guide.
@@TheBigForkers Yes please. More of no reservations type content. Nobody can match the swag of Tony Bourdain but we can definitely strive to be a rockstar like him.
We would like to do more and more in the vein of Bourdains travels, but the audience is complicated in India.
@@TheBigForkers since when did you start caring about the audience? Keep churning up the class content. 😊😊
Looking forward to see you guys explore Kolkata, and see the city through your lenses
Loved this episode. Shoutout to Niazi Nizami bros❤
Sufi music and food are both poetry , a man is not compleat without both!
Exactly
This stuff is incredible! Seeing ya all take a Bourdain tangent was something i felt was going to be inevitable considering the sheer knowledge and zest for food and life you guys have. Keep doing you guys. This is turning into something special!
Warms the cockles of the heart to read this comment
A combination of food and culture. Liked it.
Superb...this is what makes me so proud of India. Eat, love, sing, live and let live. Cheers.
It is wonderful indeed
What an episode..enjoyed every bit of it..❤❤..fills my heart and eyes both..kudos to the whole team for such hardwork

Their prowess as Sufism practisers engages trance state in me.
It's something else
This fills my heart and stomach .,.

One of the best places to eat in Delhi. From Ghalib kebab to Zaika-e-Nizamuddin food here runs hundreds of years old recipes.
So good!

we need a summary of what all ethnicity Sid belongs to & how many places he has been raised ( no pun intended )... got to know he is half kashmiri today.
Hahahaha
The best episode this season for me. The funny things is we barely talked about the food.
One of the songs they were singing, Rang, has been recorded and produced by Coke Studio Pakistan by the same name, featuring Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and the late Amjad Sabri after which he was shot dead and this song was his last recording.
Thanks
V. Good. Hussaini Hotel is famous since 1952 in Nizamuddin
Truly beautiful episode....delicious to the mind, heart and soul. A special mention for the charming lil budding qawwls who were a treat to see. Would love to see more such culture content with the food.
Glad you enjoyed it

The quality of content and the number of subscribers/followers are such a mismatch. Deserve a lot more.

Whats that got to do with these amazing musicians with such a beautiful soul and history. Leave them out of it.

Some episodes just are meant to be different man
