- The Arabic word "Qaul" - meaning speech, saying, dictum, declaration - has an enduring association with South Asian Qawwali music. Normally qawwali compositions are sung with the purpose of reciting Sufi poems. There is, however, an obscure sub-genre of Qawwali in which the songs are based on the sayings and adages (i.e., Qauls) of saints and sages. Qawwals have been singing these Qauls for centuries though most of the qual compositions appear to have been lost to time or gone out of vogue. The most famous surviving Qaul that qawwals sing today is the one attributed to Prophet Mohammed(s) uttered at the event of Ghadir-e-Khum in 632: mun kunto maula fahaza Ali un maula ... (He who accepts me as his master, must accept Ali as his master as well).
The special status which this Qaul grants to Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, is recognized by almost all Sufi orders, including the famous Chisti order of India, who trace their teachings and spiritual lineages to Hazrat Ali. It is no wonder then that the inventor of Qawwali, Hazrat Amir Khusro (1253-1325), the great Hindustani cultural icon and Chishti saint, rendered this saying as a memorable musical composition. This song naturally became known as the Qaul.
Traditionally in Qawwali gatherings, a recitation of the Qaul would be compulsory, perhaps even as the opening performance, but increasingly this is no longer the case. Nevertheless, the Qaul's popularity and reverenced legacy remains undisputed and occasionally the Qaul finds its way into other genres of Hindustani music including classical music.
Tarana is a Hindustani vocal music genre in which the texts of the compositions are constructed using syllables such as na, ta, dar, tanom, yala, yali, instead of verses of poetry. The expert tarana singer, an Indian Classical musician or a Qawwal, can sing taranas in a wide variety of raags and taals (beats), with the delivery usually set to medium or fast tempo.
The genre is the invention of Hazrat Amir Khusro. It's generally believed that the words (bol) used in taranas are unintelligible sounds. Ustad Amir Khan (1912 - 1973) dedicated a large part of his musical career to the study of taranas. In his assessment, however, the words comprising tarana expressions come from Persian and Arabic. In one of this research articles he explained their meanings as follows:
Tanan Dar Aa - Enter my body.
O Dani - He knows
Tu Dani - You know.
Na Dir Dani - You are the Complete Wisdom.
Tom - I am yours, I belong to you.
Yala - Ya Allah
Yali - Ya Ali
Other musicologists have also tried to explain their meanings along the same lines as Ustad Amir Khan. For instance, we have the following translation lexicon [3]:
Dar - Bheetar, Aandar (inside)
Dara - Andar Aa (get in or come inside)
Dartan - Tanke Aandar (inside the body)
Tanandara - Tanke Aandar Aa (Come inside the body)
Tom - Main Tum Hun (I am you)
Nadirdani - Tu Sabse Adhik Janata Hai (You know more than anyone else)
Tandardani - Tanke Aandarka Jannewala (One who knows what is inside the body)
Hence, from the above interpretations, we learn that Tarana bol are in fact words and phrases which carry meaning in a certain mystical context.
After this brief introduction, let us listen the live performance of the great Qawwali maestro Ustad Munshi Raziuddin from a 1988 recital of Qaul & Tarana along with his sons Abu Muhammad & Fareed Ayaz Qawwal at the house of Syed Mehdi Hasnain Sahib in Defence Karachi.
The Qaul - Man Kunto Maula, with its ethereal alaap, is their best rendition and is technically brilliant.

Girah Bandi:
علی کے مرتبے کو عیش چشم غیر کیا سمجھے
یہ وہ بندوں میں بندہ ہے جسے بندے خدا سمجھے
بتاؤں کیا تمہیں ھجرت میں کیا اہل جفا سمجھے
علی کو ہو بہو نور محمد مصطفیٰﷺ سمجھے
زہے عزّ و جلالِ بو ترابے فخر انسانے
علی مرتضٰیؓ مشکل کشائے شیر یزدانے
ولی حق وصی مصطفیٰ ؐ دریاِۓ فیضانے
امامِ دو جہانے قبلۂ دینے و ایمانے
امیرِ کشورِ فقرِ شہہ اقلیمِ عرفانے
خدا گوئے خدا بینے خدا دانے خدا شانے
پیمبرؐ بر سرِ منبر نشست و خواند مولائیش
کہ تا مولائیش را با شد اندر خلق برہانے
ع سے عین عبادت کا سر انجام ہوا
ل وہ لام کہ جس لام سےاسلام ہوا
ی سے یاور ہوئے مشکل میں ہر اک بندے کی
صدقے اس نام کے کہ کیا خوب علیؑ نام ہوا
زباں کے ساتھ دل بولا
علیؑ مولا علیؑ مولا
علیؑ اعلیٰ ہے اولیٰ ہے
علیؑ کا بول بالا ہے
جو بالا ہے وہ یہ بولا
علیؑ مولا علیؑ مولا
علیؑ کی بادشاہی ہے
علیؑ اسم الہی ہے
علیؑ نے سرّ حق کھولا
علیؑ مولا علیؑ مولا
تا صورت پیوند جهان بود، علی بود
تا نقش زمین بود زمان بود، علی بود
آن شاه سر افراز که اندر شب معراج
با احمد مختار یکی بود، علی بود
حُبِّ علیؓ ہی زینتِ صوم و صلوٰۃ ہے
حُبِّ علیؓ ہی روشنیِ کائنات ہے
حُبِّ علیؓ ہے واسطے مومن کے عین حج
حُبِّ علیؓ وسیلۂِ راہِ نجات ہے
Yes it's true
Nice

Bahot bahot shukriya! Firstly for sharing this music, then for the really well articulated description and finally for the images with calligraphy and Sufi art. It's so interesting to notice that both Ustads Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohmmad had already reached maturity by 1988.
By the way, regarding what you wrote about Ustad Amir Khan's research on tarana, there is actually an interview of him conducted by Pandit Nikhil Banerjee where he talks about it briefly (around the five minute mark): ruclips.net/video/02fnVjwuKMc/видео.html
Thank you very much for such a nice comment. For articles and audio collection of qawwali and Indian classical music, please visit qaul.blogspot.com/. You will really love it.

Thanks for appreciation, my dear Syed Zohaib Sahib. Actually this qawwali was sung by Munshi Raziuddin & his sons
Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwal. Munshi Raziuddin Khan expired in 2003 in Karachi. His sons Fareed Ayaz, Abu Muhammad Qawwal & Brothers are a popular qawwal party nowadays. You may contact them on Cell Number: 0300 2105393 (Pakistan)
qouli also meaning gypsy? as in gypsy music player, qawali,
I don't know about this, sir.
@@Shabbir192 sorry for previous answer. But yes qolis کولی • gypsies in medevil times that where traveling musicians, they are refrenced in the shahnameh for this and other records as qoli-avaz (singing gypsies) They used a instrument sitting down. Not every qawwali use the words of quran and mohammed and it only means sayings and it should be maqawwali to mean sayer , and the islamic utterings is qaul-e rasool, wich dident use instruments.
It is just some trivia for i think in modern time all words have been singled to one due to lost history, so i just wanted to let you check it out yourself what you think. Thank you for your efforts!
Subhanallah
