The part at the end that Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan did is called Sargam (pronounced sir-gum)... Sargam is all about singing a combination of the 7 notes (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni) or less we have in the Pakistani classical music... it's always nice to see someone appreciating our music and talented musicians... stay safe and healthy.. good luck with everything!!
@@khanwashere264 - Sargam or Solfege has nothing to do with either India or Pakistan, it is a cultural music (sangeet) thing that comes from Indo-Pak region from the time before the partition. I am a Pakistani myself and proud over Coke Studio Pakistan and what they are doing - Solfege is also performed in Indian music hence my reference to the region (area) which is culturally and musically the same. - no hard feelings...
Wow. Been waiting for this reaction. This is indeed a love song where a lover is struggling with finding words that can describe the beauty of his/her lover. And finally it says that it's impossible for me to describe your beauty so I praise the Lord (God) for creating such a wonder. What Rahat is doing in the end is flexing his mastery over hitting different classical notes without losing his breathe.
What's most beautiful about this song is the lyrics. The entire time, he's describing her beauty in the most impossible words one could conjure and in the chorus, it says "it's impossible to describe her Beauty". These lyrics are the pinnacle of Indian writing
The classical music of the Indian subcontinent is truly amazing. It uses beautiful melodies, rhythms, and mixes them in cool ways to express feelings. The ability to explore and precisely define notes, along with rhythmic taps, all while following the rules of ancient theoretical texts, shows how people back in the BC era were really into exploring and precisely defining their inner feelings. When it combines with old Hindi/Urdu poetry, it creates a super emotional experience.
This is the first time on your channel and You had me questioning my entire life. How I look at the world, what I don't appreciate, things which are in front of my eyes but I still couldn't see. You made me see it, you made it visible. You changed the way I look at the world. I can't express my thoughts in the words. Thanks❤
Excellent reaction. You went to the deep end, exactly what the writer intended. Your interpretation is right on. One can take away what one wants from it, i.e love song and an appreciation of the mortal or the love for The Creator and His creation and getting down on one’s knees to praise the Lord. You are right that when the end comes we will ask for more time. You were spot on.
Greetings from Pakistan. Beautiful and amazing reactions as always. Remembering Pakistan on its independence day was the sweetest thing to do. This is a great song and so beautifully reacted to in your pure, passionate and original manner. I loved it. Keep such reactions coming. Wishing the best for this channel at all times. May God the Almighty always be with you With warm personal regards
Sufi love has two flavors: “Ishq-e-haqiqi” is the love for the creator or God. “Ishmael-e-majazi” is the love for the creation or “the beloved”. The point of convergence is where the creator is reflected in the creation. And in a sneaky way, your love for the beloved is also your love for the God, because the beloved is only a reflection. And thus all love becomes spiritual. Having said that, this is just a love song expressed in a language (Urdu with a sprinkling of Persian) that is exquisitely suited to poetry.
Thanks for the Happy Independence Day message before reviewing/reacting to the song. I believe you are dressed in Pakistani clothes. :) Your review/reaction is Brilliant, and an extremely well-elaborated review of the song. Indeed both singers' voices are magical.
The original version of this iconic musical marvel Afreen Afreen was sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's uncle and his mentor Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who is no more now.
Thanks for wishing Happy Independence day.I love your reaction pls keep reacting. That's a beautiful song to donate your lover or the love ones. As you asked he is talking about the women gender and the creator who creates her. Though we can take it both ways as you describe, like about the sculptures of Ajanta caves. Here, he refers her beauty as those ancient statues and sculptures. On the other side, he praise God for creating her. What Rahat is doing in the end is flexing his mastery over hitting different classical notes without losing his breathe. There are no lyrics for them. We called them Ragas.
Your smile is contagious. Afreen Afreen. ❤❤ Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is referred to as Ustad (means Master). He was honored with a Doctorate in Music by Oxford university and a hall was named after him. Truly a Master of his art. This song was originally sung by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, uncle and teacher of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was an international superstar and referred to as greatest Qawal by everyone around the world.
Here the Reference to "Ajanta" is like referring to moon or poetry or Flower etc.. Here Afreen Afreen meaning praise to her creator is actually praising "The Creator"... BTW Just loving your reactions Sister... Love from a Little sister From Pakistan..
Ap both ache Hain ap b Ustad Raht Fateh Ali Khan sahb or Others Folk Singers k sat Coke Studio Pakistan MN aa kr Gane gain ap ki Achi Awaz MN GANA Sunna both Acha Lage ga.Thanks.
Your commentary and interpretation of the urdu poetry is refreshing - really enjoyed hearing your views. For me this was the real value addition on top of what you say about the music, voice, melody etc. I got it right when you noted that urdu poetry moves between romantic love and mystic love (ishq haqiqi (love for devine)vs. ishq majazi (romantic love). Also to confirm your guess, last part was just notes (no lyrics).
Oh my goodness Rosalie!!! I jumped with excitement how you were able to pick that it was going to be a happy or love song by just hearing that piano cord for like one second, Incredible. And your interpretations are so spot on, I am glad I found you. On the quick switching of notes, its just Urdu/Hindi version of Solfège ( Do Re Mi )
Lott's of love n respect from Pakistan, Yes you got right mostly this song, Afreen means like you use word oh my gosh, oh my god , So in the song basically is about to praise your bossom or loved one as you said in devine manners, There is comparison beloved ones body with different but natural , plus tremendous ND organıc things
realize that so much was was lost in translation too. such songs are books that if you delve into would bring out not jair the depth of their meaning but the social and historical context that inspire them used to express that depth.
I must add a note here because all the previous comments have missed pointing out a very glaring point. Which is that the English rendition of the lyrics - and Coke studio makes a darn good stab at rendering the meaning linguistically and culturally into English - is an extremely pale version of the original. So if you could understand Urdu and Hindi - you will laugh at how hollow, empty, shallow the English rendition - albeit a great rendition is. That's the spiritual and cultural gulf between Eastern cultures and English. Know that - swallow that. And I don't at all intend to attack you, Rosalie - I salute the way you teach positive psychology through this channel. It's just the way that English can NEVER manage to capture these depths of ennobling emotion.
Not sure you know this, but Momina is actually a Pakistani American from New York City area. Her family is Pakistani but I believe she was raised in NYC. She has a degree in engineering from SUNY Stony Brook. Music was just a hobby to her that has since grown into a full fledge career.
Hope you are doing better now Rosalie, wish you and your baby best health. Thanks for wishing happy Independence day. Its probably meant for a woman and thats mostt ppl take from it but ofcourse good poetry can have multiple interpretations.
i really love and enjoy All you reaction... and it make me happy you enjoy our pakistani songs i have a Request and im 100% sure u gonna love it (Coke Studio Season 10| Allahu Akbar| Ahmed Jehanzeb & Shafqat Amanat) Hope you react on this soon and its a spiritual Song or you can say P
Please react to *Shikwa Jawab e Shikwa* by *Coke Studio Pakistan* It's lyrics are straight 🔥 and is written by *Allama Iqbal* who is also known as *Poet of the East* Will be waiting anxiously...
Sargam is a system of musical notation used in Indian classical music. It consists of seven basic notes, similar to the Western musical scale. These notes are Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni, and they correspond to the equivalent Western notes as follows: - Sa is similar to "Do" - Re is similar to "Re" - Ga is similar to "Mi" - Ma is similar to "Fa" - Pa is similar to "So" - Dha is similar to "La" - Ni is similar to "Ti" In addition to these basic notes, Sargam also includes variations and microtones that allow for the intricate and expressive melodies characteristic of Indian classical music. Sargam is often used by musicians to communicate and notate musical compositions in a way that is specific to Indian classical traditions.
Ustad (Sir/Teacher) Rahat Fateh Ali khan, is the most famous singer of Pakistan. He has recorded over 50 albums. He has toured the world, his family has a tradition of singing more than 400 years. He was born into a Punjabi family of Qawwals and classical singers in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. He is the most paid Pakistani singer. He is the son of Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, grandson of Fateh Ali Khan and the nephew of legendary Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Rahat displayed an adoration for music from a very young age and was often found to be singing with his uncle and father, as young as three. From an age of seven, he was already being trained by his uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in the art of singing Qawwali..You can watch more of his songs. He is a living Legend.
The part at the end that Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan did is called Sargam (pronounced sir-gum)...

Yes it is Indo-Pak version of solfege
sargam was discovered by hindus
@ArmughanJalil YOU HAVE TO BRING INDIA IN THIS PAKISTANI PRODUCTION ?
@@prathamsinghshaurya
THAN WHY DO INDIANS STEAL PAKISTANI SONGS VERY OPENLY ?

It's originally a naat... where the description of our last prophet Muhammad (pbuh)'s face and beauty takes place....

I’m really glad to hear if this video and the things I shared, spoke to you
