Sufi Love Through the Lens of Bollywood Music
Bollywood music is heavily influenced by Sufism and Sufi notions of love permeate the lyrics of most romantic songs. I want to explore some important Sufi concepts and how they manifest themselves in these songs and within the context of these movies.
Chand Sifarish from the movie Fanaa
youtube
"Zid hain ab toh hain khud ko mitaana, hona hain tujh mein fanaa"
trans: "I insist on ridding myself of me, I want to annihilate myself in you"
Bollywood romantic songs often emphasize on yearning, seeking and longing for the lover and Sufi poetry which speaks of a soul's yearning to unite with God serves as a useful metaphor to speak of the same. The intense, maddening, spiritual kind of love, although seldom portrayed accurately on screen is ever present in song lyrics. The concept of "twin flames" has been popular in the West for the last couple of years and is by and large, very misunderstood. From a purely spiritual perspective, The Lover and The Beloved are in each other all along (similar to the Jungian concept of anima & animus but slightly different) and yearn to unite with each other. In order for union to be possible however, one must first destroy their "ego" which they call "self".
2. Raabta from Agent Vinod
youtube
"Tera milna hai us rab ka ishaara maanu, Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye"
trans: Meeting you was a signal from God, that he had made me for someone like you
There is a lot of emphasis on the soul's innate knowing and its longing for love which is its longing for God and how seeking union with the Beloved is the inner knowing to realise one's God nature and unite with God in Sufism. This song captures that feeling of things being "destined" and how God has always guided your union.
3. Katra Katra from Alone
youtube
"Khud se khaali ho jaoon, aaja tujhse bhar jaoon. Tinka, tinka jal jaoon. Aise jala do"
trans: "let me empty myself, let me fill myself with you. i want to burn up, twig by twig and you burn me."
This is a very erotic song and speaks of love in a very carnal way. However, this idea of dissolving yourself in your lover is a very Sufi one. What is love, if not absolute submersion in the object of your desire?
4. Satrangi Re from Dil Se
youtube
This movie itself is very deeply spiritual and I suggest watching it. However this song beautifully captures the 7 stages of love and two people going through it, in a very poetic and profound way. Go watch it!!
Some poignant lyrics include:
Dil ka saaya humsaaya
trans: The shadow of my heart is your shadow
(In my post about twin flames, I had touched upon this but I'll make another post about how the Jungian concept of shadow work and integrating your shadow is to understand your twin and merge them within your consciousness)
Koi noor hai tu (Are you a light?)
Kyun door hai tu (Why are you so far away)
Jab paas hai tu (When you're near me)
Ehsaas hai tu (Then you're a feeling itself)
Koi khwaab hai ya parchai hai (Are you a dream or a shadow?)
These lines alone capture the bittersweet, all consuming, indescribable and maddening feelings that a twin triggers in us.
I also highly suggest reading the lyric translation of this song as a whole because it captures the twin flame experience so exquisitely.
5. Tujh mein rab dikhta hai from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
youtube
"Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara main kya karoon
Sajde sar jhukta hai
Yaara main kya karoon"
trans: I see God in you my beloved, what do I do? My head bows down in worship to you my beloved, what do I do?
in my post I had mentioned the 7 stages of love, one of which is worship for the beloved. this song beautifully captures that feeling, of being absolutely devoted and enraptured by the beloved, that nothing less than worship could equate to how you feel for them. its beyond love, beyond admiration, its a holy kind of emotion, its devotion.

90's SRK Fashion Poll
Ah, the 90's! The big suits, the prints, the...um...questionable fashion choices! When I'm watching a 90's SRK movie I spend half my time thinking "What the hell is he wearing??"
These are a few of the most iconic, in my opinion. The Oversize Motorcycle Jacket obviously appears in a few films. And talking about iconic looks from the 90's, I couldn't leave out Darr...😏
Have a different fashion choice? Leave it in the tags!
Happy voting!
