Coke Studio Season 9| Episode 2
Song Name: Afreen Afreen
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was one of the shining lights of Pakistan, a Qawwali Shahehshah whose talent was heralded both locally and globally. To celebrate the legend that still lives 19 years on, Coke Studio presents
Afreen Afreen, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Momina Mustehsan, Episode 2, Coke Studio 9
Music Directed by Faakhir Mehmood
Produced by Strings
The beautifully crafted ‘Afreen Afreen’ sung two decades ago by the legendry, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan still holds the strength to serenade the audience with its poetic and soothing sensibilities. The reformation of the track on Coke Studio – arranged by Faakhir Mehmood and performed by maestro Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and debutant, Momina Mustehsan – transforms the Qawwali seamlessly into an unplugged track. Within the genre, the atmosphere of the song remains ambient and acoustic, as the bare minimum elements give room to Rahat’s majestic vocals to improvise the mastery he possesses. Momina enters the song as she punctuates the additional melody with her laid-back effortless velvety vocals. Towards the end, the track is perfectly complimented with the incredible drum roll and a hyper groove as the traditional ‘Afreen Afreen’ chants are delivered with heartfelt emotion and melodic panache.

ایسا دیکھا نہیں خوبصورت کوئی
aisa dekha naheen khoob-soorat koyi
We have never seen one with such beauty as she جسم جیسے اجنتا کی مورت کوئی
jism jaise ajanta ki moorat koyi
Hers is the beauty of the sculptured idols of Ajanta جسم جیسے نگاہوں پہ جادو کوئی
jism jaise nigaahon pah jaadu koyi
Her beauty has bewitched our gaze جسم نغمہ کوئی
jism naghmah koyi
Her beauty is an alluring song جسم خوشبو کوئی
jism khush-bu koyi
Her beauty is a heady fragrance جسم جیسے مہکتی ہوئی چاندنی
jism jaise mahakti h
ui chaandani
Hers is the beauty of scented moonlight جسم جیسے مچلتی ہوئی راگنی
jism jaise machalti hui raagini
Hers is the beauty of a haunting melody جسم جیسے کہ کھلتا ہوا اک چمن
jism jaise kih khilta hua ik chaman
Hers is the beauty of a blossoming garden جسم جیسے کہ سورج کی پہلی کرن
jism jaise kih sooraj ki pahli kiran
Hers is the beauty of the first light of dawn جسم ترشا ہوا، دلکش و دلنشیں
jism tarsha huwa dil-kash o dil-nisheen
Hers is the most exquisitely hewn beauty صندلیں صندلیں
sandale

Warm and smooth as sandalwood مرمریں مرمریں

Pure and delicate as marble حسنِ جاناں کی تعریف ممکن نہیں

It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved جانے کیسے باندھے تو نے اکھیوں کے ڈور
jaane kaise baandhe tu ne akhiyon
ke ḍor
I don’t know what enchantment your gaze wrought من میرا کھنچا چلا آیا تیری اور
man mera khincha chala aaya teri or
My heart became drawn to you irresistibly میرے چہرے کی صبح زلفوں کی شام
mere chihre ke subh zulfon ki shaam
The bright dawn of my face, the dusky twilight of my tresses میرا سب کچھ ہے پیا اب سے تیرے نام
mera sab kuchh hai piya ab se tere naam
All that was mine is now devoted to you نظروں نے تیری چھوا
nazron ne teri chhuwa
Your eyes met mine تو ہے یہ جادو ہوا
to hai yih jaadu
hua
And ever since then a spell has been woven ہونے لگی ہوں میں حسیں
hone lagi hoon main haseen
I feel that I have become beautiful آفریں آفریں

Praise to her Creator! چہرہ اک پھول کی طرح شاداب ہے
chahrah ik phool ki tarh shaadaab hai
Her face is fresh as a flower چہرہ اسکا ہے یا کوئی مہتاب ہے
chahrah us ka hai ya koyi mahtaab hai
Is it her face in its brilliance or is it the moon itself? چہرہ جیسے غزل چہرہ جانِ غزل
chahrah jaise ghazal chahrah jaan-i ghazal
Her face is sheer poetry چہرہ جیسے کلی چہرہ جیسے کنول
chahrah jaise kali chahrah jaise kanwal
Her face has the beauty of the
lotus flower چہرہ جیسے تصور بھی تصویر بھی
chahrah jaise tasawwur bhi tasweer bhi
Her face is an artist’s thought and also its translation چہرہ اک خواب بھی چہرہ تعبیر بھی
chahrah ik khaab bhi chahrah taa‘beer bhi
Her face is both dream and realisation چہرہ کوئی الف لیلوی داستاں
chahrah koyi alf lailawi daastaan
Her face is some magical tale چہرہ اک پل یقیں چہرہ اک پل گماں
chahrah ik pal yaqeen chahrah ik pal gumaan
Her face is both certainty and supposition چہرہ جیسا کہ چہرہ کہیں بھی نہیں
chahrah
jaisa kih chahrah kaheen bhi naheen
Her face is like no other seen anywhere ماہ رو ماہ رو، مہ جبیں مہ جبیں
