Main Sharabi Sharabi — Sufi Qawwali MP3 Download
Main Sharabi Sharabi — "I am drunk, utterly drunk" — is a declaration of the advanced sufi state: the complete absorption in divine love that the tradition describes as the highest form of the intoxication metaphor. This is not the gentle kaif of the early stages but the full masti, the complete drunkenness that leaves no room for ordinary awareness. The performer who declares this state is claiming either genuine spiritual attainment or the devotional aspiration toward it — both of which have their place in the tradition.
The Bold Claim of Sufi Poetry
Various qawwalis in this collection engage with this bold declaration across different performers and different performance contexts. They are one of the classic qawwals of our history, and as the unforgettable music icons who gave new meanings to the traditional form of qawwali, they represent performers who understood the weight of the claim they were making. iRulz has paid homage to this tradition by uploading numerous collections of video qawwali alongside audio qawwali in the same library.
Night Song Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Michael Brook represents this theme in a cross-cultural production context. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Lok Virsa Qawal Party both approach the same thematic territory from different positions within the Pakistani music ecosystem.

FAQ
Is declaring oneself drunk in a sufi qawwali appropriate for public performance? Within the sufi tradition's self-understanding, yes — the metaphor is devotional rather than literal, and the declaration is understood as spiritual aspiration or testimony rather than actual intoxication.
Does this theme appear more in Punjabi or Urdu qawwali? Both — the intoxication metaphor is fundamental to sufi literature across Urdu, Punjabi and Persian. Different versions of the same essential declaration appear across all three languages.
Is this track suitable for family listening? The theological context of the metaphor is devotional. Listeners familiar with the sufi tradition will receive it as religious poetry; those who take the language literally might misunderstand it.
