Anyway, i was listening to this amazing qawwali sung by Khan Saheb "Ni Main Jana Jogi de Naal".
It's written by Baba Bulleh Shah and its so awsomely written that its beyond explanation and the way Khan Saheb has sung it, it's amazing. It tells how badly one wants to be with "Jogi". "Jogi" here is HIM but it also can be used for one's beloved.
In this qawwali, lover so much wants to be with the beloved that she is ready to do anything.
Koi Kissay De Naal Koi Kissay De Naal
Per Main Jogi De Naal Naal
Jadon Dee Main Jogi Dee Hoyee
Main Wich Main Na Reh Gayee Koi
(he is trying to say that everyone is with someone or the other but i wanna be just with my beloved. Since when i have given myself to my beloved, there nothing left which i can say its mine everything is HIS only.)
Ranjha Ranjha Karde
Ni Main Aapay Ranjha Hoi
Sadeyo ni Mainu Deedo Ranjha
Heer Na Aakho Koi
Ni Main Jana Jogi De Naal
Kannee Mundaran Pa Ke
It's just some part of that qawwali which depicts the kind of love n dedication that was there but i wonder if this makes any sense to anyone today... hehehe ...

It's nice to know that even in this madcap world, that's in hurry to get god knows where, someone took out some time to write about Sufism.
These lines are beautiful and have a deep meaning that can be associated the way we feel at a particular moment...u know like the Monalisa painting...keep writing.
Thanks for the appreciation, i try to take some time out to listen to Khan Saheb n read about Baba Bulleh Shah. it gives some peace at times.
Thanks :-)
Good Job All the best for your research
A very famous and beautiful Kafi by the Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah. If you know something about Bulleh Shah and his "kalam" you will know that he deals in metaphors. The "Jogi" that he's referring to and so deeply in love with could be his teacher/master Shah Inayat or, some have said, that it could be the Prophet Muhammad. Bulleh Shah is the easiest to understand of the Sufi Poets but he is the deepest and richest in meanings to his Kalam.
Jogi is who has jog,, everyone has it.. and “I” once know about that, want to get to him. At least, Bulle Shah is not talking about another human or other, he is talking to himself and found one he was looking for!! Jadofi main Jogi di hoe, this is what he is talking about. Then he examples out with ranjha, a character normal human can understand. There is no other love he is talking about! Only one with Devine...
