DESCRIPTION
Arranged and performed by Sami Yusuf
Words by Dr. Imed Nsiri
Music: Traditional Islamic Qawwali
Raag: Kafi
*Originally sung by the Sabri Brothers ('Khwaja Ki Deewani')
This song was written in honor of the great Indian Sufi age, Mu‘in ad-Din Chishti (d. 1236). It was composed by the Sabri brothers from a compilation of poems and melodies associated with him. The music and lyrics have been modified in this rendition: the words are sung entirely in Arabic about the love for the blessed Prophet (pbuh), his household and companions. The song is on Sami Yusuf’s 2016 bestselling album ‘Barakah’ that celebrates over one thousand years of sacred Islamic music.
