Kristjaan prompts to haiku after listening to "Especially the music genre known as Sufiana Kalam. Sufiana Kalam is the classical music of Kashmir, which uses its own ragas (known as maqam), and is accompanied by a hundred-stringed instrument called the santoor, along with the Kashmiri saz, the setar, the wasool and the dokra. The dance based on the sofiyiana kalam is the hafiz nagma."

Hi Gillena,
My response after watching the video.


plaintive calls for help
in the musical refrains-
who will answer
God of heaven and earth
or you, sitting on the mat?

Nice tanka Adelaide. One one note there is the audience with questions to the artiste about her work. On a deeper note where all is caught in the emotions the song evokes. Listeners feelings can soar to seeking God.

Happy you dropped by

Much💞love
