AJABey... I hope someone would approach Rahman ji.. requesting him to read Amir Khusrau. That is a treasure... there are pearls still unexplored. Amir Khusrau understood the TONGUE and EAR of Indai. A line in Persian followed by a line in Hindustani.. (urdu/brij/hindi..whatever).. this was a very hit pattern.. To understand the nuance of a word.. you need the ear of Madan-Mohan.. to squeeze its meaning to the bone. Persian is inevitable in a historic movie ! To keep it light and manage-able is an art.. people should sing it.. Thats the key. What persian phrase to incorporate ? Go to Amir Khusrau.. CHASM-MASTey.. AJABey…

It shows in his work. When you do a "good job" it becomes "ibadah". Fine work.. wherein you put your heart... is easily recognizable from commercial (mundane) work I havent heard the song (nor watched the movie)... but i read the lyrics. For the viewer of 2008, i am sure, it has to be diluted for the common viewer... but Rahman is well versed with the Sufi Beat... or Taal. The title song of Taal which he composed.. is purely.. inspired by SAMA.. "Taal se Taal Mila... Ho-5". He is a gifted artiste. He has done good work until now.. and will Insha Allah.. continue to do good work. If he is inspired by Khwaja Garib Nawaz., or Peeran-e-Peer Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam Dastagir Sheikh Abdulkader Geelani.. thats fine. Basically these are scholars... who taught Islam thru their teachings of love and tolerance. What is sufism ? Love + Tolerance.. with a smile on their face. Religion is nothing but HUSN-e-Aqlaaq.. that is the "Sundaram" of Satyam-shivam-sundaram ! Exactly. AR Rahman has “That” in him. It shows in his work. When you do a “good job” it becomes “ibadah”.

But the composition is pretty unique and of course original. Id: thanks for the comment Sidhu ji
