Mere Rashke Qamar - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Lyrics | Full Song

Details

Description

This Urdu ghazal was penned by the Pakistani poet Fana Buland Shehri and performed as a qawwali by the great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997).

‘Qamar’ stands for the moon. So ‘Rashke Qamar’ stands for the Envy of the moon. So when the singer says ‘Mere Rashke Qamar’, he means his lover is so beautiful that it can even make the moon (epitome of beauty) jealous.

T/N: The takhallus (Urdu: تخلص) is the pen name adopted by a poet in Urdu, and is usually incorporated into his/her poems near the end. It often has a double meaning as both a name and as a word. Fana Buland Shehri included his takhallus in this qawwali when he says, “Ae Fana shukar hai aaj baad-e-fana, us ne rakhli mere pyaar ki aabroo”. Fana is the author’s name, but it also means “annihilation”. This adds another meaning to that line: “O annihilation (death), today I am grateful that after my demise, she has maintained the honor of my love”.
