The "crazy part" without captions or sub-titles is called an "Alaap", it has no words so there is no translation. It's a technique used in Eastern classical music to create ambiance or emotion

TMI : The male singer is "RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN" and is honoured with Doctor of music degree at Oxford university .He's also a maestro in music. Fun fact : he is the 17th generation singer in his dynasty and His family has been in music bussiness for over 600 years . And The female singer is "ABIDA PARVEEN" . She is a Queen of SUFI music. I bet no one can do it better than her ..in simple words She is a living legend! And What makes her special is the robustness of her voice and clarity of her expression. In live shows, she looks so involved and full of energy, and can switch between slow and fast tunes with effortless ease.. I'd like to add , these two really understand the music.

It is a ghazal, love poetry, written originally by Amir Khusrao for his spiritual master, Saint Nazimuddin Auliya. At first parts of the song, he writes in imagining himself in the perspective of a Hindu girl who was enchanted by the pious and high character of Nizamuddin. Therefore, she converts to Islam to try to satisfy him, the 'chaap Tilak sub cheen li ra' chaap tilak is the red dot Hindus endore themselve as a religious symbol and purity , the line meaning you snatched my red dot, thereby every trace of myself. Also, later on in the song, she mentions her to be blessed if Nizamuddin was the one who would color her hue, ie witness her conversion to Islam. He also mentions himself by name, as it is common for poets in Urdu, expressing his devotion to his guru/peer. The song is sung in Old Urdu which was still forming as a new language and still is quite different from other coke studio songs which are sung in modern Urdu/Punjabi. Also, poems are interpretive so they can also be taken as devotion to God, rather than to lover.

They 2 are masters, Rahat fateh ali is taught by his uncle ustaad nusrat fateh ali khan and he was grand Master of classical singing This was live rehearsal , the director like it so much that they decided to keep it that as original song ...when there no subtitle for Rahat he was doing alag ( singing name of note... Like sa re ga ma pa dha ni, they are same as western Do, Re Mi Fa Sol LA ti) Yes lyrics is sad, actually this poetry is written by Amir khosrow... A Sufi singer, poet, musician and scholar

Fun fact, the singers were here to practice this track, but it went so well that the Coke studio kept it as a final track.

In most Punjabi/Urdu poetry the subject is kept anonymous so it can be applied to anything really. You get to decide who the “beloved” is be it an actual lover or god. Don’t read into who they’re talking about, focus on the feeling.

This poetry was written in 11th century by Ameer Khusroo and sung by hundreds of singers in the past centuries. You can consider it as folk song of the sub-continent (pre-partitioned or United India).

If you think this is sad, I would suggest listen to Coke Studio "Rang" by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (same male singer) and Amjad Sabri (late), interestingly the lyrics were written by the same guy, Ameer Khusro who wrote this one about 900 years ago. It has a contrasting feel to this one, a totally jubilant mood. By the way, just to fill you in about this particular song, "Chaap, and Tilak" referred to as the symbols or things that Hindus wear, so the poet/disciple (Ameer Khusro) acknowledging his spiritual leader (Nizamuddin Auliya) who has been inspirational in reverting lots of non-Muslims to the fold of Islam.

This style is Sufi singing or qawwali with most of sufi poetry being sung is hundreds of years old. Very specific music genre and very different from your usual music taste. Love your honest reactions always

Lyrics are 1400 years old.... Thank you so much for the reaction Yes so much emotions and pain in their voices..........

It's not a matter of fact whether you like this type of song or not, just imagine the flow of the song and the talent these guys are singing, no one can do that, they are showing their inner emotions to soulful emotions of human nature and humans have different devotions in which they express themselves, just watch how the talent of human nature is in nature and how their devotion is shown in this song, whether you like it or not but as a musician and vocalist know what this song is. Only real Vocalists of the world can know this talent, this is not of your criteria or anyone of us, they are the masters of spiritual songs in the sub-continent.

Dear Cojak, I would suggest you to please check-out the description of the Coke Studio Songs to get to the essence of that particular piece of art... This poetry is centuries old and spiritual in it's origin... Secondly, the kind of scatting these legends perform is the South East Asian classical way of showcasing your talent and excellence through touching different notes in a very disciplined and systematic manner... These are not just random scats but the already defined and established vocal patterns to follow using different "Ragas"...

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan legendary Classical singer Of Pakistan. With strong vocals Abida Perveen legendary Sufi Singer, with Soulful deep vocals.

Fun fact ; they were just rehearsing in this video but since they nailed it in their rehearsal so coke studio aired this and actual performance never happened .

What you heard were , Raags, of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, in their variations., each singer can develop own style after having perfected Art of Singing, perhaps after 10, 20 years minimum practising daily for hours, different Raags at their specific times, of day, night., hope this is start for you to understand.

When you see no subtitles that is because their are no words. Just pure emotions. Loving your reactions. And thanks for bringing attention to the lyrics from 100s of years ago

It's sufism, Sufi Kalam If u jump into it you'll surly love it Deep meaning 🔥

I love how you pay attention to the lyrics and are intelligent enough to interpret the meaning in such a beautiful and truthful way. Nice one 👍

When you translate Urdu poetry to English you can't get the same feeling or meaning, I wish you understand the real meaning behind it, These aren't simple lines every line has it's own full story.

Our music taste is so high man and they are our living legends Appreciate your reaction

I loved it when you said that this is not your favorite coke studio song. This shows that your reactions are true. Cuz much just praises about what they react on but we do not want praise. We want the point of view. Just want to say "LOVED IT" No, those were vocals! not other languages. They do not have subtitles! Hope you understood

The voices do not sound sad to me, just deeply feeling, soulful and longing for the divine, the beloved. The feeling is heart centered and from the deepest part of them rather than the more surface emotions we usually encounter. If you were there, you might be able to feel the spiritual energy better. Very moving music by two master artists.

This song gives me goosebumps whenever I heard this song 🔥 lyrics 🔥

welcome to music spell of Pakistan 🇵🇰

Please React To another Masterpiece like this sooooo beautiful and great song.. Name is "Rang" Sing by Amjad Sabri And Rahat fateh Ali Khan ❤️ Must react to the masterpiece amazing song ever 💓

It was just rehearsal but rehearsal was so.perfect they didn't recorded final.version

Our 2 living legends ❤️ Love them ❤️

8:30 In Sufi culture, God and the soul are regarded to be separated lovers (some say just metaphorically). Once you keep this in the back of your mind, most Sufi songs will reveal their deeper meaning.

This particular story is written by follower, discipline Khusro, 700 yrs ago, of Saint Nizamudin of Delhi, where he refers to elation of the glance of his Master, clearing away all his thoughts, into another world, and shedding of any sadness,, Nizamudin was from lineage of Maula(MASTER) Ali, son in law and cousin of The Prophet Muhammad, being The Master, whose cloak was passed to Ali, and that enlightenment down the lineage to Nizamudin, through Blessed Prophet Family

It is not pain but this raag means melody is created like that but he is best singer and its performance of nobel price is best

This song is all about a single caring glance of the person the lover has loved for life. The lover Explains in the best way possible what it really meant for him. What it has done to him. He's at the same time praising that beautiful look as well.

The song can also be interpretation of love at first sight. When lover see his love and the love put a single glance at him from behind the veil. Cultural relevance and awareness is a must to understand these lyrics. For German it means nothing coz normally females don't cover their faces. In subcontinent, they do cover faces. Whenever they look at you deep in your eyes it means they have given attention to you. The lover has fallen in love with those deep eyes. (intoxicated means fallen in love)

Rahat fatah ali khan legend🇮🇳❤️

True love takes away your traces When u love someone truly, your individuality ends and submerge in the being of beloved U praise your beloved and want nothing else but his happiness Ameer khusro is saying the same thing that Nizamuddin took away the traces (tilak and chap) of mine by the only glance My individuality ended and I became what my beloved( wanted) is True love took his traces but still, he thinks that he is blessed with his beloved's glance which made him lucky like a bride

i would love to see more rappers reacts to this😂😂😂😂😂 its a concept completely alien to them

Rahat fateh Ali khan belongs to the dynasty of singers who ruled the art of qawali for nearly 100 years No one in subcontinent can sing better than him and he can't sing better than his ancestors they were legit qwalas Rahat sir normally sing songs which are just so perfect And abida G another legendary sufi singer her voice touches your heart and can make your soul to leap out of your body and dance purposelessly she is mystic singer

The part where he sang with his hands in strong motion is called scatting. They both are icons of the music realm.

18:11 if you understood it youd probably cry yourself it very deep Sufi Songs that take alot of research to fully comprehend as the same words are taken in completely different meaning depending on how its said and its ment to take you into a trance that allows you to focus within the self

This song about spiritual love. It’s my favourite singer's beautiful song.

At 7:16 he is saying that " if I you loose you're mine and I loose I will be yours" actually expressing that He will never let His lover go and if His lover wants a battle/Quarrel/game for love then he will fight/play on the condition that " if I you loose you're mine and I loose I will be yours"

A class of singing by 2 legends 👍👍 I m lovin it 😘😘👍👍💚🇵🇰

I really feel bad for the people those who doesn't know the language, they fail to feel the real essence of lyrics. Subtitles never do justice

Translation is not according to exact words. It’s all about love. When you are in deap love every action of your lover makes you feel like heaven. This is called sofi music.

When subtitles is not there is called raag in India and pakistan its called raag its mean all type of vocals and melody’s

Love your reaction. I agree it does sound sad, because the piece is about yearning, specifically spiritual yearning, yearning for an eternal meeting with the Beloved (God). The multi-layered lyrics are about painful separation from the Source, and the effects of this separation on the seeker. How the seeker is happy like a radiant bride, losing all previous identity after just one glance from the Beloved. Welcome to the magical world of mystical Asian poetry!

There are solfege Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and Si in western songs that are used as musical note when learning to sing. The Pakistani and Indians use Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni which is our equivalent of Do Re Mi... and the parts without the translations is them just using these solfege to make those sounds to show emotions in different musical notes (high n low notes). They are not singing actual words. The singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has even used these techniques in movies like MEL GIBSON'S APOCALYPTO.

Love from Pakistan ❤️

I love how you're interested in the word and explaining what's going on ... beautiful

The song is full of metaphors where the beloved on an earthly plane is representing the divine. so if the divine turns towards you its "EXTASY' . ..and that is what is meant by one glance . However while all this may sound creative and nice to the uninitiated it is exactly the point at which Sufism detaches itself from mainstream Islam... goes off the rails so to speak. For what happens In the end is that the Sufi IS LED EVER SO SLOWLY ASTRAY BY the almost literal worship of his spiritual Masters as brother Gilani has just mentioned , and becomes full of himself with his poetry and musical genius.... in reality Leaving no time for the Almighty. Which is why Sufi's as a whole do not follow the path of the only "spiritual Master " appointed by the Almighty for the world .....Muhammad , blessed be his name ! Singing, Dancing, Twirling as the dervish do becomes his worship .... replacing the 5 Daily prayers. Thus Sufism is a feel good philosophy of a few ...Masquerading as Spiritual Intellectualism.... but alas... it is not the tradition or Sunnah of the Prophet may Peace and blessings be upon him.

In our language poetry there are types "ghazal" is a type of poetry . In ghazal they cover lots of topics in one poetry like prophet, love and God you have seen in this song

Beautiful song by two legends

Bro they are top class masters or say legends who have practiced 20 to 30 years at least 6 hours every day just to control all musical notes and now they are playing with notes as they wish. No matter the text of the song, what they are demonstrating is the range and control of their vocal capabilities.

It's emotional song but very spiritual

Both are living legends of Pakistan

These are learnt through Masters, by generation,

They sang this song another world to present gift for Almighty god 🌹

Chhaap Tilak Sab Chheeni (چھاپ تلک سب چھینی) was written and composed by Amir Khusro, Sufi Mystic, back in the 14th century. which means, what you are listening to has been transferred as an oral tradition from generation to generation for 700 years. Here is your real connection with history. Without Amir Khusro, there would be no Hindustani Classical Music, in the way we know it today. Khusro also invented the Sitar. He took the traditional two-headed drum, the pakhawaj (which till date is used with dhrupad music) sliced it down the middle into two independent drums, thus birthing the tabla. Muslims who pray five times a day, can get a mark on the forehead, where over the years, it has come into contact with the floor. This is called the 'chhap' The 'tilak' is a religious mrak, usually of sandlewood paste that a Hindu might wear on his forehead, more or less in the same place where the chhaap appears for the Muslims. The sufis were mystics...saints whose understanding of the supreme being transcended the boundaries of a particular religion. They often converse with the supreme being like one would converse with their lover. Their relationship with god was tender and effervescent... almost romantic in nature. Here Khusro says, the moment he/she (god )lay eyes on him, he has forgotten about the chhaap or the tilak and has simply surrendered to love. I summarise, of course. Because you can talk for a lifetime about every sentense Khusro wrote.

Abu'l Hasan Yamīn ud-Dīn Khusrau (1253-1325 AD), better known as Amīr Khusrau was an Indo-Persian Sufi singer, musician, poet and scholar who lived under the Delhi Sultanate.

Two Pakistani legends together what you can expect. Another world.

This song ( qawali) saying,love song I will play this game on one condition, If i win you are mine,but if i loose i am yours, All i want is one result

Bro you great man 💚 From Pakistan 🇵🇰

Another wonderfull reaction i like to see your reactions on my fav playlists dude thats why i again requested you that plz react on (Shikwa Jawabe Shikwa Cokestudio)

Sins also your essence of life is lose after enchantment of your eyes....this is called devotion when surrender everything to your God or even to a person with honesty

I was wait for your reacting to this song!

what they do SA RE GA MA PA DHA NE is the RAGA or RAAG ... they r singing the keys of music what normal ppl play on piano or harmonium ... there is no need for subtitle for raag... they r the masters of music...

Its beyond anyone’s understanding. You can't understand this kind of music merely by translating . It’s a story deep down submerged with trance philosophy. Even the native would have to listen thousands time to comprehend the eternal message of it. The lyrical pattern are not simply a poem. Its sufi mystic. So you can not really relate without knowing the ancient hindu culture and sufism mixed together in subcontinent for many centuries. The language of this kind of epic is even mixed with persian, sanskrit and contemporary language like punjabi hindi and Urdu. If you try to understand the classic of this kind, this is not just a lyric or poem, its an epical ballad. The writer of this song is 12th century persian sufi mystic poet Amor khosru writing about his spiritual leader Nizamuddin ayulia of Delhi. Amir Khosru can be compared to Dante or Homer and the lyric could be compared to the Iliad. So please dont embarrass yourself. With love and God bless. Danke

This type of singing is call qawali, It's has double meaning, One means like ( about connecting to God), Second means like ( about your love ones), This is common in Muslim community in South east Asia ( Pakistan + India)

14:15 "I wish that (part)had subtitles" : That part doesn't mean anything, nothing to translate there. Except for emotions (that very fast dynamic tones) indicates a racing heart (in love, emotion etc.) unsettleness of mind in etc.

Our Both Legends on 1 stage.. One of Epic 4m Coke studio Pakistan 💞🇵🇰💞

Love from Pakistan...😍😍😍

I am watching your reaction from mumbai india ❤

Its Sufi music where they mix devotion and love together, basically the love u have for ur beloved person, instead of person they love god with those feelings.

You were right, Persian and Urdu languages are used in the song

Love your voice ❤

the part u refer to crazy widout subtitle is only the octaves like sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa. he played only wid octaves no words actually

At 13:57 he's singing "Sargam" these are set of notes like scattering in western music but these are not random they are very specific.

Not alot of people will tell you or understand this but i believe that the song actually contains alot deeper meaning which u can't understand just by reading lyrics which i think is the real source of all that pain is the situation of people and country they belong to since a long time. It is sad but it is more than just a song if u know the history and present, i think tajdar e haram by atif depicts more clear image of what i am trying to say if u pay actual attention to the lyrics in that..

Nizam Uddin was the friend of God. Total song about devotional love.

مشرق اور مغرب کو اسلام یا موسیقی ھی جوڑ سکتی ھے سلام........ پشاور پاکستان

There are many variations, they're not repeating., this is QAWALI, genre. It's not just singing., it's DEVOTIONAL.

She's a musical connection to god!

Happy to see you again with chaap tilak.....

Hey buddy. I really like your reaction videos and its so fascinating to see how you interpret the context of these songs. If you wanna review a rather pop version of coke studio, do a reaction video for "Rockstar" by Ali Zafar. I'm sure you're gonna enjoy that one. Much love and respect from Pakistan!

for understanding this poetry you should read about Nizamuddin Auliya and Amir Khusro the writer of thos lines called Amir Khusro and his wrote for his teacher Nizamuddin Auliya

In India, pakistan In Sufi music God is considered as a Lover Hence lyrics become critical to understand for new people. devotion is the Love. Also Lyrics are written as a Female feelings but male sing it so its very confusing for urdu hindi knowing people too... E.g Coming :- male : Aata hu Female:aati hu Going:- Male Jata hu Female: jaati hu Your Male :tera Female : teri Crazy {in love} Male :Deewana Female : Deewani In sufi songs male uses aati hu, Deewani, teri etc

Best Reaction ❤

I would rather hear an honest reaction, and its perfectly okay to say "Its not for me". Chaap Tilak is like Nessan Dorma. This version was about showing range.

Please go for Ramooze Ishq sung by Ms. Abida Perveen....

Please react on ' Afreen Afreen ' Coke Studio Pakistan. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Momina.. Amazing pakistani music

It is the taste of music orginaate at Indian continent it is the mixture with sufi (the person who with love of god) writes.....

At 7:40 "you have snatched away all traces of me With one glance of your eye" refer to a single affectionate gaze of beloved person of the lover that means so much for the lover that he's agrees to sacrifice everything for the beloved. "even your single glance of care is the universe to me. I don't need any thing else."

This is Sufi Music....this song was written over 700 years ago, Sufi music is made to envoke deep feelings and emotions.....and this is a great exampleof that.......

the part that started at -7:47...is called solfege....mixture of seven nodes...sa re ga ma paa daa nii sa....just like do re me

This language in this gazal is 800 years old

it's lovely to see u loving her voice and do react on Song Dost by Abida Parveen coke studio.... Lots of love from Pakistan ❤️🇵🇰
