700 Years of Tradional Sufi Music & Food | Sakal Ban & Aaj Rang Hai | Niazi Nizami Bros
Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience: A Home-Cooked Meal with the Niazi Nizami Brothers
Imagine enjoying a meal cooked by the family of the renowned 'Niazi Nizami Brothers'-Hasan, Haider, and Imran Niazi-the Qawwals of Nizamuddin. For 700 years, their family has carried on the traditions of Sufi music from the time of Amir Khusrau. We were privileged to spend an afternoon with them, listening to anecdotes about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, with whom their family has performed in the past. The afternoon was made even more special by an impromptu She'O'Shayari session by their father.
The feast, prepared by the ladies of the house, honored the traditions of the past with dishes that are not readily available to the uninitiated. This truly home-cooked meal was as passionate as the concert that followed. We were treated to beautiful and heartfelt recitals of Amir Khusrau's classics, "Sakal Ban" and "Aaj Rang Hai."

Amir Khusrau, also known as Abu’l Hasan Yamn ud-Din Khusrau, was an Indian Sufi singer, musician, poet, and scholar who flourished under the Delhi Sultanate. He was born in 1253 and died in 1325. In the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent, he is a legendary person. He was a mystic and Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, India, was his spiritual teacher. He primarily composed poetry in Persian, although he also wrote in Hindavi. He is frequently credited with creating the Haliq Bari, a poetry vocabulary that includes phrases from Arabic, Persian, and Hindavi. Khusrau has been referred to be the “founder of Urdu literature,” the “voice of India,” or the “Parrot of India” (Tuti-e-Hind). Khusrau is credited as being the “founder of qawwali,” a Sufi devotional singing style that is still extensively practised in Pakistan and India.
Translation: Aaj Rang Hai
What a glow everywhere I see, Oh mother, what a glow;
I’ve found the beloved, yes I found him,
In my courtyard;
I have found my pir Nizamuddin Aulia.
I roamed around the entire world,
looking for an ideal beloved;
And finally this face has enchanted my heart.
The whole world has been opened for me,
Never seen a glow like this before.
Whenever I see now, he is with me,
Oh beloved, please dye me in yourself;
Dye me in the colour of the spring, beloved;
What a glow, Oh, what a glow.
Translation- Sakal Ban
The yellow mustard is blooming in every field,
Mango buds are clicking open, other flowers too;
The koyal chirps from branch to branch,
And the maiden tries her make-up,
The gardener-girls have brought bouquets.
Colourful flowers of all kinds,
In hands everyone’s bringing;
But Aashiq-rung (the lover), who had promised to come
To Nizamuddin’s house in spring,
Hasn’t turned up - its been years.
The yellow mustard is blooming in every field.

I don't have much idea but i think they are the 1st restaurant to serve this PULAAO-GOSHT(or atleast bihari version of it)
