The majestic Abida Parveen weaving magic with her voice and the words of Khawaja Ghulam Fareed.
Menda Ishq vi tu – Abida Parveen – download the song
The heart-piercing Pathanay Khan also sings the same kalam:
Menda Ishq vi tu – Pathanay Khan – download the song
The piece sung by Abida Parveen is irregular. She has masterly knitted together various verses from different kalaams of Ghulam Fareed into one song. I am writing lyrics of the original few lines, detailed work on it would follow.
Every song that I share on my blog here is not a mere song. Please try to get mesmerized with Baba Ghulam Fareed’s love. Through his words, Ghulam Fareed is trying to express his love for his beloved, Hazur Muhammad (PBHU)
Sufi Poetry would not be the same after reading Khawaja Ghulam Fareed. Sufi music wont be the same after listening to the songs above.

Like always, cant help writing another verse of Khawaja Ghulam Fareed:
Uth Farida sutiya tu duniya dekhan ja,
Je koi mil jaye bakshaya tan tu wi balshaya ja
Jazak Allah. Keep searching and keep writing.
I think Ghulam Freed’s this poetry shows his love for Allah. Isn’t it?
A humble suggestion:
‘Menda sanwal methra sham saloona
My sweet beloved… [sorry can’t translate literally]’
–> sham saloona refers to Krishna, as is the reference to ‘mohan’

You You you are within me,
You yes You Why is it so?
You only you a part of me,
You You simple source of happiness,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are living in me,
You yes You How is it so?
You exactly half fraction of me,
You You a smile that is in suspense,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are actions in me,
You yes You When is it so?
You closely share hopes needs of me,
You You gasps of air for my vigour,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are alive in me,
You yes You Where is it so?
You intimately hope requests of me,
You You breath of liberty captive of me,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are pulsating in me,
You yes You What is it so?
You proof a birdcage existence of me,
You You shaded in your bright shine of me,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are isolated in me,
You yes You Who are you so?
You exiled from others uniqueness of me,
You You veiled hidden secret of me,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you my conscious self in me,
You yes you Which cohort is it so?
You unknowing unconcerned un-separable of me,
You You indifferent unresponsive feelings of me,
You that’s all you are as I see.
You You you are within me,
You yes You Why is it so?
You only you a part of me,
You You simple source of happiness,
You that’s all you are as I see.
Thank you Zaidi for translating the great Sufi couplets. Thanks a Million.
What does this mean: Uth Farida sutiya tu duniya dekhan ja,
Je koi mil jaye bakshaya tan tu wi balshaya ja
Is this written by Baba Farid or Ghulam Farid?
please correct the spelling of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (PBUH)
very very nice song dil ko chu lya ?
