In that Breath - Spiritual Lyrics as Gateway to the Divine from Kabul’s Kharabat 

در آن نفس

In that Breath 

Two captivating renditions of a composition by the revered استاد محمد هاشم چشتی Ustad Mohammad Hashim Chishti (1944-94) featuring lyrics by the master poet of the ages, س��دی Saadi, vividly showcase the distinct and intriguing musical traditions of کابل Kabul and هرات Herat. 

These performances, by two celebrated vocalists, استاد مهوش Ustad Mahwash and استاد جلیل احمد دل‌آهنگ Ustad Jalil Del Ahang, present a rare and precious chance to delve into the unified artistic expression born from the rich cultural heritage of Kabul’s خرابات Kharabat musician quarter.

The Poem by Saadi  سعدی

In that breath when I pass, may I be yearning for you 

بدان امید دهم جان که خاک کوی تو باشم

I give up my life with the hope of becoming the dust of your alley

حدیث روضه نگویم گل بهشت نبویم

I will not speak of the gardens of paradise nor smell the flowers of heaven

جمال حور نجویم دوان بسوی تو باشم

I will not desire the beauty of the houris but steer towards you

Translated from the Farsi by فرهاد آزاد Farhad Azad with edits by پروین پژواک Parween Pazhwak

استاد مهوش Ustad Mahwash's Version Liner Notes

This song In that Breath was composed by Ustad Mohammad Hashim Chishti (1944-94). 

This recording by Ustad Mahwash was released in 2007 by the Accords-Croises label based in فرانسه France. She was the first woman to have been conferred the honorary title of "Ustad" in 1977 in Kabul by the Ministry of Culture. 

Spiritual Lyrics as Gateway to the Divine from Kabul’s Kharabat 

By Farhad Azad 

The lyrics embody صوفی Sufi ideals, expressing fervent longing for the beloved, rejecting worldly pleasures in favor of divine love, seeking annihilation of the self in union with the Divine, and using the beloved as a symbol for the ultimate reality. 

In Kharabat, where the songs held deep spiritual significance, استادان masters or ustads would often require their students to perform an ablution وضو (wuzu), before singing. This ritual purification emphasized the sacred nature of the poetry and music, ensuring the singers approached their performance with reverence and spiritual readiness.

Reflecting on her musical journey in the CD’s liner notes, Ustad Mahwash says “I am a follower of the sufi path and our Master Mohammad Chishti who encouraged devotion through the practice of 'mystical audition' or سماع Sama. I sing everything that relates to love.” 

Ustad Del Ahang's Version Liner Notes

This استاد جلیل احمد دل‌آهنگ Ustad Jalil Ahmad Del Ahang’s (1961-2018) rendition of در آن نفس (In that Breath) is a moving example of the Kharabati school of music, honed under the tutelage of استاد سرآهنگ Ustad Sarahang (1924-83) and later استاد موسی قاسمی Ustad Musa Qasemi (1936-95). 

From Kabul to Herat: The Journey of Kharabat’s Spiritual Music

By Farhad Azad 

The music of کابل Kabul’s خرابات Kharabat district, a cultural gem, embarked on a poignant journey to هرات Herat as early as the 1930s. This migration was not merely a physical movement of aspiring artists to Kabul to study under the masters, but a profound cultural exchange that shaped the musical landscape of Herat, carrying with it the emotions and aspirations of a community.

This استاد جلیل احمد دل‌آهنگ Ustad Jalil Ahmad Del Ahang’s (1961-2018) rendition of در آن نفس (In that Breath) is a profoundly moving example of the Kharabati school of music, a testament to the emotional depth and beauty that can be achieved through music. His soulful interpretation, filled with longing and devotion, resonates with the spiritual essence of the Chishti Sufi order, inviting the listener on a journey of self-discovery and transcendence. 

Exiled in ایران Iran in 1998, Ustad Jalil Ahmad Del Ahang captured the haunting performance, accompanied by استاد رحیم خوشنواز Ustad Rahim Khushnawaz (1943-2010) on robab, عظیم حسن‌پور Azim Hassanpour on tabla, and غلام سخی رسولی Ghulam Sakhi Rasouli on dutar. 

The reverend musician and composer استاد محمد هاشم چشتی Ustad Mohammad Hashim Chishti (1944-94) traced his lineage to the چشتی Chishti Sufi order a spiritual tradition established in the 900s AD by ابو اسحاق شامی Abu Ishaq Shami in the town of چشت Chisht, located in present-day Herat province افغانستان Afghanistan. The Chishti Sufi order, with its emphasis on music as a spiritual practice, played a pivotal role in developing and preserving the Kharabati school of music, infusing it with spiritual depth and significance. 

The Chishti practice, renowned for its profound emphasis on سماع Sama, a devotional practice of evoking the divine presence through music and poetry, is not just a performance, but a transformative spiritual journey. This unique aspect of the Chishti practice adds a layer of depth and richness to the music, elevating it beyond mere entertainment to a profound spiritual experience that resonates with the soul.

The unique lineage of this صوفی Sufi musical tradition is a testament to the enduring power of cultural exchange and the fluidity of art and culture. Born in the heart of Herat, the Chishti Sufi order’s musical essence found its way to Kabul through the descendants of Ustad Hashim Chishti. 

His descendants, invited from هند مرکزی central India by امیر شیرعلی خان Amir Sher Ali Khan, the ruler of کابلستان Kabulistan in the 1870s, played a crucial role in carrying forward the musical tradition, demonstrating the enduring power of cultural exchange and the fluidity of art and culture, and the importance of preserving such cultural practices.

The poet لیلا صراحت روشنی Layla Sarhat Rushani (1958-2004) aptly observed that artistic works with “simplicity in the expression” are akin to  “a stream of pure, clear water, and clear waters often make their depths appear shallower than they actually are.” 

While seemingly lovely and simple on the surface, these two renditions of Ustad Hashim’s composition carry a profound depth—a millennia-long journey of verse and melody passed down through generations, traversing vast distances before returning to their ancestral home. The music, a testament to the interconnectedness of human expression, transcends geographical boundaries and historical epochs, resonating with listeners across time and space.

[trendingnews19]

Pakistan will go into the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at Centurion without a specialist spinner, with seam-bowling allrounder Aamer Jamal accompanied by Naseem Shah, Mohammad Abbas and Khurram Shahzad in the bowling attack. Abdullah Shafique, meanwhile, has paid the price for his all-format loss of form that culminated in three successive ducks during the ODI series, with Kamran Ghulam keeping his place. Babar Azam, who was dropped for the last two Tests against England at home, returns to the XI and is slated to bat at No. 3. That pushes captain Shan Masood up the order to open the batting alongside Saim Ayub.The bowling attack sees the return of Abbas more than three years after he last played a Test match, while Shahzad returns after a recurring rib injury that first ruled him out for several months after the first Test in Perth last December, and then again after the second Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi in September. Naseem was released from the squad partway through the home series against England, meaning allrounder Jamal is the only bowler who also played Pakistan's most recent Test match."Since the Australia series, we've backed Aamer Jamal, even in spin conditions," Pakistan captain Masood had said earlier in the day at the press conference. "He occupied the No. 8 slot and made it his own. There are different aspects to his bowling; he's not one-dimensional. He's handy when it reverses and useful at being the enforcer, and he's equally skillful with the new ball. He's also impressed everyone with the bat, especially that innings in Sydney and a couple of innings in Multan. The best sides in the world have players at Nos. 7 and 8 who are allrounders, and who allow you to play specialist bowlers."Meanwhile, Pakistan's patience finally ran out with Shafique, who has struggled for form across formats for more than a year. Aside from his most recent horror ODI series, he has had a torrid 2024 in the longest format, too, averaging just over 15 in 12 innings. More than half of his 174 runs during this period came in one innings in Multan on a surface so placid, England registered the fourth-highest total in Test history in the second innings. In his other 11 innings, he reached double figures just twice.Pakistan had delayed announcing their final XI, with South African captain Temba Bavuma making his side public a full 24 hours earlier. With rain around, and forecast for parts of the Test match, the visitors had mulled over whether to opt for the security of a spinner as opposed to going in all-pace, but on a Centurion wicket that players from both sides acknowledged, looks exceptionally seam-friendly, that option was considered surplus to requirements. They do have the option of Salman Agha, who bowls offspin, and Saud Shakeel's part-time left-arm spin."Batting and seam bowling will be key elements to both lineups," Masood said. "Both teams go in with the same ideas. South Africa have four seamers, and Corbin Bosch at No. 9, who's an allrounder. You've got to trust the seamers to do well, given how the pitch is looking."Pakistan XI: 1 Shan Masood (capt), 2 Saim Ayub, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Kamran Ghulam, 5 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 6 Saud Shakeel (vice-capt), 7 Salman Agha, 8 Aamer Jamal, 9 Naseem Shah, 10 Khurram Shahzad, 11 Mohammad Abbas

Why Syrian government’s collapse brings challenges for Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Tel Aviv would retain control of the Golan Heights forever, triggering protests by the present Syrian government and anger from Arab countries.

Israel anticipates that the logistical connection between Iran and Hezbollah will be severed, with Iran no longer able to supply the group with arms and ammunition through Syria. The move should weaken Hezbollah, which today poses a threat to Israel, experts say.

Tel Aviv is one of the main beneficiaries of toppling the government of Bashar al-Assad. The Syrian authorities had been an adversary of Israel for decades, with the Israel Defence Forces striking military targets in Syria believed to be Iranian, knowing that there would be no retaliation.

Syria’s former leadership was wary of launching an open war with Israel against the backdrop of a weakened army and internal instability. Syria’s potential leader, head of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) Abu Mohammad al-Julani, also said he had no intention of fighting Israel.

However, al-Julani was previously a member of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, and his father comes from the Golan Heights, which Isral intends to control. This casts a shadow on the intentions of the new Syrian government to co-operate with Israel, experts say.

Military analysts also emphasise that a public conflict has already erupted between the HTS and another powerful Syrian rebel group, the Syrian National Army, raising doubts about al-Julani’s rising as the country’s leader. In light of the potential conflict with any of the possible governments, Israel has launched pre-emptive strikes, weakening the Syrians’ air force and navy.

The Golan Heights will turn into another hot spot with systematic military clashes between Israeli and Syrian troops. Even if Syria splits into several states as a result of political unrest, Israel will still have to wage war on everyone, including Turkish proxies.

If an independent Kurdistan emerges on the current Syrian territory, the US will not aid the Kurds in order not to ruin relations with Turkey, whereas Israel will be their main public ally, experts believe.

A possible change of government in Jordan, with which Tel Aviv shares a long and unfortified border, could be another challenge for Israel. With the ongoing war against Hamas, Israel cannot afford new fronts on the border with Syria and Jordan.

Israeli army and intelligence actions have indeed weakened Hezbollah, preventing the group from aggressively opposing the overthrow of the Assad government. However, instead of Hezbollah, Israel now risks facing the new leaders of Syria and Jordanian forces. Israel’s strategic gains in the region came as a surprise to everyone, but they also come with potential losses for the IDF, which might be forced to fight on multiple fronts at once.

[ad_1] Babar scored his last fifty in 2022. (PC: X.com) In a surprising move, the newly formed selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to omit senior players Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah from the 16-member squad for the final two Tests of the ongoing three-match series against England. Babar has been under scrutiny for some time, having failed to score a half-century in Test cricket since December 2022. His struggles were highlighted after twin failures in the high-scoring first Test in Multan, where he managed just 30 and 5. Following advice from the selection committee, Babar was dropped. The other two notable omissions, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, also struggled on the flat Multan pitch, which contributed to their exclusion. All three players have had a disappointing year. Babar averages just 18.5 in 2024 and hasn’t scored a fifty in his last 18 Test innings, while Shaheen and Naseem have averaged 72 and 51 with the ball, respectively, this year. The PCB, however, stated in an official announcement that the players have been ‘rested.’ “Taking into consideration the current form and fitness of key players and looking ahead to Pakistan’s future assignments in the 2024-25 international cricket season, the selectors have decided to rest Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Abrar Ahmed, who is recovering from dengue fever, was unavailable for selection,” the PCB said in a media release. Mohammad Ali, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, and Zahid Mehmood have been included in the squad, alongside uncapped left-arm spinner Mehran Mumtaz and wicketkeeper-batter Haseebullah Khan. These adjustments have been made considering the conditions in Multan, where the same pitch from the first Test will be used for the second. Pakistan have not won a home Test since December 2022, with an 11-match winless streak, including three consecutive defeats in 2024, following a whitewash by Bangladesh. The second Test against England begins on October 15, and Pakistan will be hoping these squad changes lead to a turnaround in their fortunes. Pakistan squad for 2nd and 3rd Tests: Shan Masood (c), Saud Shakeel (vc), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah (wk), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha and Zahid Mehmood.

Pakistan 329 all out (Rizwan 80, Babar 73, Maphaka 4-72) beat South Africa 247 all out (Klaasen 97, Shaheen 4-47, Naseem 3-37) by 82 runsPakistan turned in their best all-round ODI performance across all three series over the past six weeks, dismantling South Africa by 81 runs and sealing a third straight ODI series win.Shaheen Afridi sizzled with the ball after half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam helped Pakistan amass 329 in the second ODI in Cape Town. South Africa never quite got partnerships going despite a heroic 74-ball 97 from Heinrich Klaasen. Afridi, however, got his mojo back, menacing at the top and lethal with the reverse swinging ball at the death, finishing with four wickets as South Africa were bowled out for 248.South Africa began the chase in much the same way as they started off in the first innings in Paarl - with conviction and purpose. From the moment the returning Temba Bavuma flicked Afridi off his pads for four off the first ball, South Africa were up and running, routinely piercing the thickset infield to find the boundaries they needed to keep the asking rate in check. When Naseem Shah drew a leading edge from the South Africa captain to draw first blood, Toni de Zorzi and Rassie van der Dussen carried on at the same brisk tempo, and South Africa had much the better of the opening powerplay.However, the hosts were beset by the clumps of wickets Pakistan have found a knack of taking to stymie opposition momentum. De Zorzi, van der Dussen and Aiden Markram all fell within 39 runs of each other, immediately placing all the pressure on Klaasen to pull off another Houdini act. Alongside David Miller, he appeared to have set South Africa back on course with a partnership that combined security with aggression, the run-a-ball 72 they added bringing the hosts right back into the contest.But Afridi picked his moment to deliver perhaps his most impressive spell since picking up the injury two years ago that has somewhat stalled his career. With the lights taking full effect and the contest balanced on a tightrope, he found it in himself to bowl closer to the 140kph mark, angling his wrist position to take advantage of the reverse swing that suddenly appeared to be on offer. He fizzed one past Miller, cutting him in half - or so we all thought; Afridi was sure it had kissed the inside edge, and when they went upstairs, the technology bore him out.But it was the dismissal of Marco Jansen that had the greatest technical purity to it. Coming around the wicket, it angled into middle stump before appearing to deviate away, with Jansen's bat nowhere near it as it crashed into the base of middle and off. He was finding late swing at such pace even the umpire struggled to pick it up, and it required another review to establish Andile Phehlukwayo had been struck on the toe before the ball hit his bat, and that he was indeed plumb in front.Shaheen Afridi produced a three-wicket spell•AFP/Getty ImagesAll this while, Klaasen had been fighting a lone, and, as became increasingly obvious, losing battle. He was particularly ruthless taking down last game's hero, Salman Agha, stepping onto the back foot for his trademark hook over cow corner, and using his range efficiently to carve the ball into the off side. If anything, he was guilty of not shielding the strike better as he approached his own hundred, and, in the end, ran out of partners when he whacked Naseem to deep midwicket in a doomed attempt at reaching a hundred he richly deserved.Babar scored his first half-century in 22 innings, combining with his old friend Rizwan in a 115-run third wicket partnership as Pakistan set South Africa an imposing 330 to chase. That number never looked as steep when those two were batting, though, and only ballooned thanks to a blistering late flurry from Ghulam, who bludgeoned 63 off 32 balls. They were helped by South Africa falling away sharply with their lines as well as in the fielding.Bavuma had opted to field first on a picture-perfect day at Newlands, and South Africa made a similarly dreamy start when Marco Jansen knocked over Abdullah Shafique for a second successive duck. But South Africa only truly perked up when Saim Ayub was removed at the tailend of the powerplay, slashing at a wide one off debutant Kwena Maphaka, and finding van der Dussen well placed at deep third.Pakistan's level of urgency tailed away immediately, with Babar and Rizwan opting for the more classical pacing that comes so naturally to them. Both were trying to work their way back into the runs, and with South Africa happy to strangle the scoring than go after the wickets, it appeared for a while that the game entered a passage of play where each side was getting what they wanted.There were still moments of belligerence, such as when Rizwan smeared Markram over cow corner for six, and Babar milked the spinners for the occasional boundary. But the asking rate steadily hovered between 4.75 and 5.1, and it was evident Pakistan were backloading the innings.Babar had gone past 50 and seemed to be edging towards that elusive hundred, but then he slapped Phehlukwayo straight to Markram at short midwicket, who just about held on after it thudded into his chest. Maphaka got rid of Rizwan with a splendid diving return catch, and South Africa suddenly had the momentum.But Ghulam put paid to any such notions. Alongside Salman, who punished some errant bowling, Ghulam demonstrated his value as a lower-order power hitter, making splendid use of his bottom hand as he smashed five sixes in a whirlwind of a knock. The half-century came up in just 25 deliveries, with both pace and spin taken to task. Irfan Niazi, Shaheen and Haris Rauf were good value for the odd six from the other end, but until he holed out to Maphaka in the final over, and the late charge which saw Pakistan score 128 in the final 12 overs was largely down to Ghulam.That it was possible, though, was because Pakistan had done something which has eluded South Africa all series. They had paced their way through an ODI innings while keeping wickets in hand. Klaasen may well have been just as adept at playing the Ghulam role at the death, but, as he went down on his knees after Pakistan sealed victory, he simply had no one to play it with.Danyal Rasool is ESPNcricinfo's Pakistan correspondent. @Danny61000
