Love of Music
Pyar Nahin Hai Sursey Jishko
A Qawwali by Ustad Bade Amanat Ali Khan
Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore
Translated by Snehendu Kar
If one does not love music,
That fool is not fully human.
If there were no music,
There would be no soulmates
Nor love in our lives.
Such is the miracle
Made by seven magical notes
That heals all worldly ills
And fills us with heavenly bliss.
Those consumed by music
Are not mindless moths
That rush into dazzling fire
And turn into worthless ash.
Music makes us immune
To deadly sins and pain.
Music makes us human,
Music unites us with the Divine.
