AASRO HUMARE BHAAG – Barkhat Khan ║ BackPack Studio™ (Season 1) ║ Indian Folk Music – Rajasthan
This song is based on the Raaga Bilawal and is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and the occasion of his marriage.Shiva’s consort Parvathi is waiting to be wedded to Shiva and her friends are judgmental of Shiva’s ash smeared body and ascetic look. Later, when they know that it’s actually Mahadev who has come to marry Parvathi, they repeatedly tell Parvathi that she is blessed to have him as his groom. This song is supposed to have been sung by Ustad Tansen. This song is set to Jap Taal, with a 10 beat cycle.
Ujri bhabooth ang mastang soye gang
(His body is smeared with ash, the river Ganga rests on his forehead)
Raate rate naino aankho Neelkanth dhaaye
(One who has red eyes and has a blue throat (as per mythology, Lord Shiva has a blue throat))
Aarso hamare bhaag bhole Shambho aaye
(We are truly blessed that Lord Shiva has come to our abode)
Sang ho saheli saath ghawarja ko pooche baat
(Parvathi’s friends are with her, and they are asking her about Lord Shiva)
Ehli tera bada bhaag Shambho var paaye
(On knowing that Lord Shiva has come to marry her, they tell her, oh friend, you are truly blessed and lucky to have Lord Shiva as your husband)
Aarso hamare bhaag bhole Shambho aaye
(We are truly blessed that Lord Shiva has come to our abode)
Bichavan mruga ki khaal odhva bagumbar khaal
(One who sits on deer skin, and wears clothes made of tiger skin)
Gale suvat ruk maal nag bhi laptaaye
(One who has Rudraksh necklace in his neck, and a serpent with it)
Aarso hamare bhaag bhole Shambho aaye
We are truly blessed that Lord Shiva has come to our abode.
Aankhen Ustad Tansen gun Shiv ji lagaiye aaj to hamaro bhaag bhole Shambhu aaye
(In the concluding stanza, Tansen considers himself to be blessed for having composed and sung a song for Lord Shiva)
