Song Review:

“Mundari” is a classical piece by Ustaad Naseer-ud-din Saami. It is rendered in the raag, Adana – a raag that is known to have the effect of holding a listener captive by its beauty and for the bitter-sweet emotion that it can invoke. This rendition of the raag has been performed in the popular teen-taal or 16-beat cycle and is an imaginative and creative performance by Ustaad Saami whose skillfully executed improvisations contain some elegant elaborations on the potentialities of the raag. Coke Studio makes this experimental attempt at combining Eastern classical music with Western accompaniment with minimal constraint on the creative liberty of Ustaad Saami and a respectful adherence to the requirements of the art-form.

Lyrics

Title: Mundari – مندری – Finger Ring

Language: Braj

مندری موری کاہے کو

mundari mori kaahe ko

my finger ring – why are you

چھین لئیں چھیلوا

chheen laeen chhailawa

snatching it, dashing lover

کہا کیو میں تورا

kaha kiyo main tora

what did I do to you?

نیک انیک ابھی بنائی

nek anek abhi banaai

I just had it made, so rich and splendid

ابھی جرائی سندری

abhi jaraai sundari

I just had it studded with jewels, the beauty

مندری

mundari

finger ring

مندری موری

mundari mori kaahe

my finger ring – why

کاہے کو چھین لئیں چھیلوا

kaahe ko chheen laeen chhailawa

why are you snatching it, dashing lover

کہا کیو میں تورا

kaha kiyo main tora

what did I do to you?

مندری موری

mundari mori

my finger ring
