Ismaili ginan in music nargis

What a beautiful combination!

Ismaili Ginans are devotional songs that are an integral part of Ismaili Muslim culture and tradition. They are written in various languages, including Urdu, Gujarati, and English, and are sung to melodies that are often inspired by Indian classical music.

Nargis is a popular Ismaili Ginan that is sung to a beautiful melody. The lyrics of Nargis are a poetic expression of devotion and longing for the spiritual guidance of the Imam of the Time. The song is often sung during Ismaili religious gatherings and ceremonies.

Here's a rendition of Nargis by the Ismaili Muslim community:

[Music starts with a soothing melody on the harmonium]

Singer: Nargis, nargis, duniya ki sab se khiladi (Translation: Nargis, nargis, the most beautiful in the world)

[Melody changes to a more upbeat tempo]

Singer: Tere dar pe aaye hain, tere dar pe aaye hain (Translation: We have come to your door, we have come to your door)

[Melody slows down again]

Singer: Tere dar pe aaye hain, tere dar pe aaye hain (Translation: We have come to your door, we have come to your door)

[Music ends with a final note on the harmonium]

Nargis is just one example of the many beautiful Ismaili Ginans that are sung by the Ismaili Muslim community. These songs are a powerful expression of devotion and faith, and are an important part of Ismaili cultural heritage.
