Ya Ali (Live At Baroda)

from Live At Baroda by Mekaal Hasan Band

/

about

This classical bandish composed by Ustad Salamat Ali Khan is a fervent appeal to Hazrat Ali, seeking his intervention in easing the suffering of his devotee.
This invocation is a traditional masterpiece popularised by Ustad Salamat Ali Khan and has been sung in various genres by musicians over the years. It has immense appeal and is usually the finale in the Mekaal Hasan Band’s repertoire. Largely improvised, the band has performed Ya Ali with resounding passion over and over again.

lyrics

Oh Ali, help me overcome my suffering
Please ease my difficulties
I have been turned down and rejected just because I am poor
Please do not turn me away from your door for the same reason
If you do not bless me, whom will I turn to?
If you do not listen to me
