Tajdar-e-Haram: One of the Greatest Naats Ever: Letter by Wazir Dayers

sabri brothers

Dear Brother W

The naat “Tajdar-e-Haram” is very famous, and also is one of my favourite qawwalis. In 2009 I visited the Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (R.A.) The Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Ji (R.A.) is the most powerful place I have ever visited, and it affected me deeply. When I came out of the shine, there was a group of qawwals sitting in front of the Dargah, and they were singing “Tajdar-e-Haram”. Hearing this splendid qawwali as I came out of the shrine added to my emotion.

I’m sending you a rare version of Tajdar-e-Haram by Ustad Haji Maqbool Ahmad Sabri was still in good health and still had a powerful voice. A very good translation (also of the Persian and Arabic verses) can be found here: http://www.hamzashad.com/tajdar-e-haram.

Enjoy!
