[...] Rabba merai haal da mehram thu (God, you are the healer of my condition). Once again, Raza has a great post about the meaning. [...]

Raza Bhai, I have another take on this kafi in that the Divine Love is ingrained in every fibre of ones’ self & this Love is overwhelming and everypresent. Like Pathanay Khan wailing “charkha bolay sain sain”; ie., even the common household chores reminding one of the Lord, so one loses the distinction between the begining of this love and its manifestation and its end.
[this is why "andar", "bahar", "room room vich toonh" captivates ones imagination]

This being the closeness with supreme Love, Allah, in contrast to that image that the clergy or the orthodox would have us believe, assumes the form of a friend, a close confidant, a mehram; of our afflications and our helplessness in our trails and tribulations. The kafi reaching the climax with the ultimate line of self-negation and complete surrender to supreme Love when Shah Hussain goes main naheen sabh toonH

I find toonH to be more endearing than tu

The last line is actually a killer line for me; so if i am humming this, this line iwould have me choke with tears with its most moving most simple expression of Love

I thought Meekal Hasan Band did a fantastic job of this kafi
