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.

    10 reasons why the unplugged Afreen version connects with the contemporary generation much more than the original classic! 1. Rahat, the next best person on the planet to sing this after Nusrat Sahib! 2. Qawwali to a romantic unplugged number is a welcome genre change! 3. Lyrics are much more prominent to the listener. Javed sahib ka jawab nahin! 4. Unplugged light arrangement on acoustic guitar goes with the romantic lyrics 5. So what if we don't have Lisa Ray, we have a 'beauty with an enchanting voice' - Momina! 6. Awesome backing vocalists add to the breezy romantic feel! 7. Rahat sahib ends with the typical Nusrat style sargam 8. Slower tempo brings out the emotions beautifully! 9. Live jam session helps connect with the music better 10. Do you really need another reason to hit that replay button? :)

    My name is Afrin. When someone Bullied me because of my physical appearance. They make me feel like I am the most unwanted person in this world. I listen to this song and this song changes my mood and feels like someone in this world thinks that Afrin is special! Thanks to the writer of this song.

Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Whoever sees her must succumb to her spell Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved Jaane kaise baandhe tu ne akhiyon ke dor Man mera khincha chala aaya teri or Mere chehre ke subh zulfon ki shaam Mera sab kuchh hai piya ab se tere naam Nazron ne teri chhuwa To hai yih jaadu hua Hone lagi hoon main haseen I don’t know what enchantment your gaze wrought My heart became drawn to you irresistibly The bright dawn of my face, the dusky twilight of my tresses All that was mine is now devoted to you Your eyes met mine And ever since then a spell has been woven I feel that I have become beautiful Aafreen Aafreen Aafireen Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Chehra ik phool ki tarh shaadaab hai Chehra us ka hai ya koyi mahtaab hai Chehra jaise ghazal chehra jaan-I ghazal Chehra jaise kali chehra jaise kanwal Chehra jaise tasawwur bhi tasweer bhi Chehra ik khaab bhi chehra taa’beer bhi Chehra koyi alf lailawi daastaan Chehra ik pal yaqeen chehra ik pal gumaan Chehra jaisa ke chehra kaheen bhi nahi Maah-ru maah-ru mah-jabeen mah-jabeen Her face is fresh as a flower Is it her face in its brilliance or is it the moon itself? Her face is sheer poetry Her face has the beauty of the lotus flower Her face is an artist’s thought and also its translation Her face is both dream and realisation Her face is some magical tale Her face is both certainty and supposition Her face is like no other seen anywhere Splendidly luminous, dazzlingly radiant Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi Aafireen aafireen Aafireen aafireen Tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe hamnisheen Aafireen aafireen Aafireen aafireen Husn-I jaanaan ki ta’reef mumkin nahi It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Whoever sees her must succumb to her spell Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved Aafreen aafreen Aafreen aafreen Aafireen Praise to her Creator! Praise to her Creator! source : lyrics mint
