Meri shutar sawara gal sun ja

\"Meri Shutar Sawara Gal Sun Ja\" is a qawwali performance by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, featured as the third track on the album Kulli Yaar Dee. Released on 1992 by Oriental Star Agencies Ltd. in CD format, the composition spans 35 minutes and 54 seconds, exemplifying Khan’s extended improvisational style within the Sufi devotional tradition.

The track showcases Khan’s vocal mastery, accompanied by his ensemble of harmonium, tabla, and chorus singers. The lyrics employ Punjabi and Urdu poetic conventions, centering on themes of divine love and spiritual longing. The album Kulli Yaar Dee compiles live and studio recordings from Khan’s prolific career, though specific session details for this track remain undocumented in widely accessible sources.

As a representative work of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s later period, the piece reflects his fusion of classical raga structures with the emotional intensity of qawwali. The recording captures the dynamic interplay between Khan’s lead vocals and the responsive choral refrains, a hallmark of his performances. The album’s production credits are attributed to Oriental Star Agencies Ltd., a label specializing in South Asian classical and devotional music during the 1980s and 1990s.

The track’s duration aligns with Khan’s tradition of expansive live renditions, where melodic development and lyrical repetition build gradual crescendos. While no official music videos or alternate versions of this specific recording exist, the composition circulates among compilations of Khan’s work. The album Kulli Yaar Dee received distribution primarily in South Asia and diasporic markets, contributing to Khan’s international recognition before his death in 1997.
