Welcome everyone to the Sangeet of our Harka and Akbar as you are all enjoying the festivities.

The songs in this Sangeet are dear to my heart and I felt reflect the emotions of our Harka and Akbar ...
(1) From a calling from the heart of "Kesariya Baalam" , Harka calls out to her heart , her love, her savior to come back to her land ...
(2) She does not know this yet, but the answer to this calling is her own heart and with Akbar:
Jisko dhoondhe baahar baahar Woh baitha hai bheetar chhupke
(The one whom you are trying to find outside is hidden inside your heart)
Tere andar ek samandar kyun dhoondhe tubke tubke
(There is an Ocean inside you; why are you searching for water outside here and there)
Akal ke parde peeche kar de
(Brush aside the curtains of your mind)
Ghoonghat ke pat khol de
(Remove the veil of thoughts that cover your heart)
Orey piya, piya
(Beloved , Beloved)
Tohe piya milenge, milenge, milenge
(You will meet your beloved)
(3) And so we know that when Harka and Akbar realize what is in their hearts (or when writer-e-khaas will let them), they will be in full celebration, so I end with a qawalli wishing Mubaraka (Congratulations!) that "Milgaya" (or rather, they "found" their love)
Hope you enjoyed the start of the Sangeet and join me for the rest of the celebrations and with your own favorite songs!
