The Queen of Sufi Music: Divine Sufi Kalam with Abida Parveen | Live at Jashn-e-Rekhta Dubai

Divine Sufi Kalam with Abida Parveen: The Queen of Sufi Music | Live at Jashn-e-Rekhta Dubai . I have seen the Beloved everywhere, in every corner, in every face. Abida Parveen turns a concert hall in Dubai into a sanctuary of divine love at Jashn-e-Rekhta. This is more than a performance. It's a journey through Arfana Kalam, the mystic poetry of the great Sufis. She opens with the soul-stirring Yaar Ko Humne Ja Baja Dekha, the classic kalam by Shah Niyaz Ahmad on finding the Divine in everything, the manifest and the hidden, the king and the beggar. Between verses, she explains the raaz of the poetry. The pebble in the eye that makes the whole body restless, just like a soul that has caught a glimpse of the Divine. The night moves through the core of Sufi thought. Be-khudi, losing yourself to find the Truth, in Khayal-e-Yaar Ne To Aate Hi Gum Kar Diya Mujhko. The paradox of being and not being. And then the powerful Manqabat, Man Kunto Maula, celebrating Hazrat Ali, with the audience clapping into a trance-like wajd. Her voice does what only hers can. Deep, earthy whispers to thunderous highs. . About Jashn-e-Rekhta Jashn-e-Rekhta is the world’s largest cultural festival celebrating the beauty, depth, and living spirit of the Urdu language.
