After the enormous applaud and success of the first two chapters of ‘Wajd’, “Kamli Da Dhola” and “Bhit Ja Bhitai”, both crossing over a million views on Facebook and staying amongst the top charts on Patari since release; Hadiqa Kiani is now all set to release the third chapter “Aaj Rung Hai” in Braj Bhasha language. Braj Bhasha is a language which gained literary acceptance after the Mughal emperor Akbar accepted it as one of the royal court’s languages and was then used in literature especially to compose poems. This language is mostly written from a woman’s point of view even if a male poet writes it. This is also because the saints were in a mystical state of spirituality and love where they themselves were metaphorically women who were reuniting with their beloved. The lyrics for “Aaj Rung Hai” were originally written by the renowned Sufi poet Hazrat Amir Khusro, who is considered to be the father of qawwali. His work is spread across various genres of poetry and the most popular ones are around the theme of love; Ishq-e-Haqiqi or Ishq-e-Majazi. Two versions of this chapter have been sung before by Hadiqa Kiani herself, once in ‘Coke Studio’ and once in ‘Pakistan Idol’; both of the previous versions were well appreciated by the listeners. However this version of “Rung” is a completely different rendition of the previous two and the audience is in for a surprise. “Aaj Rung Hai” has been recorded in a single-take live studio format and features maestro Ustad Dildar Hussain on the tabla.
