Riyaaz Qawwali's video: Rone se aur ishq mein bebaq ho gaye Mirza Ghalib ghazal Urdu Shayeri Houton Vote Riyaaz Qawwali

Releasing this somber ghazal, in a time of great tragedy that the world is seeing from the middle east, to the war in Asia to the local heartaches caused by divisive politics. Mirza Ghalib is the leading poet of Urdu ghazals. Fraught with personal tragedy through out his adult life, his poetry has a unique manner of dealing with sadness and difficulty. In this rendition, the soul-stirring ghazal comes to life, capturing the essence of love, longing, and spiritual devotion in a qawwali musical format. Ghalib begins by juxtaposing two seemingly contradictory experiences: weeping and unbridled love. On one hand, he references the act of weeping, which is often associated with sadness and suffering. On the other hand, he alludes to love, which is a source of joy and ecstasy. This contrast underscores the dual nature of love, highlighting that it can bring both tears of sorrow and tears of bliss. The second line, "Dhoye gaye hum aisey ki bas paak ho gaye," carries a profound message. It suggests that the intensity of love can purify the human heart and soul to such an extent that it leads to a state of spiritual sanctity. The word "paak" signifies purity and holiness. In the context of the ghazal, it implies that the love described is so profound that it cleanses the individual's being, making them spiritually pure. This theme is a testament to Ghalib's poetic genius and his ability to capture the human experience in all its depth and complexity.
