About Riyaaz Qawwali
The art of qawwali, as with most of the great
Asian musical and literary traditions, is
transmitted orally ... The vehicle of music is
used to bring one closer to the experience of the
inner truth. The qawwal will dwell on certain
words to give them a wider context creating great
depth in the apparently simple language ... He
will often repeat a phrase or sentence indicating
both the obvious and hidden content by
emphasizing or ruminating upon particular words
and syllables, taking the audience into the
discovery of hitherto obscure meanings. Thus,
mundane objects are embued with deeper meaning
a spinning wheel becomes the wheel of life.

The ghazal genre does not concentrate on the
questions of who or why, nor does it create
limitations to the portrayal of the Beloved. What
ghazals emphasize are the themes of love itself
and the tribulations of the lover . The lover
must endure in their unconditional admiration for
the Beloved and quest for Union. Ghazals narrate
the journey of the lover-protagonist and the
suffering, cruelty, and sacrifices in their
attempts to reach the beloved.
