Saja Hai Maikhana — Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sufi Qawwali MP3

Saja Hai Maikhana — "the tavern is decorated" — is a qawwali that describes the festive preparation of the sufi gathering space. The maikadah in sufi poetry is where the wine of divine love is served, and when it is decorated — saja, adorned, ornamented — the occasion is one of special spiritual significance. His world-famous Ali Da Malang outdid all other qawwals of his time and gave him international exposure, but Saja Hai Maikhana represents the tradition at its most celebratory and festive — the gathering that has been deliberately prepared for spiritual encounter.
