The song’s lyrics honor and revere (but do not worship) ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, to whom virtually all Sufi orders trace their lineage, as well as the famous 12th century Sufi saint of Sindh, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. *A Qalandar is a type of wandering Sufi or dervish who would often live in the wilderness and wear tattered clothes. Lal Shahbaz Qalandar was one such Sufi. **Drunkenness here refers not to intoxication from alcohol, but to the ecstatic state of remembrance of God. As the famous verse of the Egyptian Sufi poet Ibn al-Farid says: “In remembrance of the beloved, we drank wine; we were drunk with it even before the creation of the vine.” To learn more about this piece download the full album and 27 page digital booklet from here: iTunes http://smarturl.it/SYBarakah-Deluxe Learn more about "Barakah" here http://smarturl.it/Barakah-Deluxe CREDITS Words: Amir Khusro & Bulleh Shah Music: Traditional Islamic (Sufi Qawali) with additions by Sami Yusuf • Main Vocal & Tonbak: Sami Yusuf • Tanbour, Divan & Daf: Seyed Ali Jaberi • Tanbour & Divan: Jon Lawton • Divan, Santoor and Tanbour: Hossein Tavvan
