I agree, in spite of Rashid’s diction, Bhoola Tujhe is quite an enjoyable and melodious song.

Khwaja is one of the best sufi qawwali’s composed by ARR. Others such spiritual gems by ARR are: “Piya Haji Ali” from Fiza (as you’ve already mentioned), “Noor-Un-Ala-Noor” from Meenaxi, “Zikr” from Bose-the Forgotten Hero, and “Al Maddath Maula” from Mangal Pandey, and “Maula Maula” from Delhi-6. All of these songs are my absolute favorites. Noor and Al Maddath are a bit more “aggressive” as compared to Piya Haji Ali, Khwaja and Maula. Maula is less sufi and more like traditional/mainstream qawwali, while Zikr has a league of its own.

I love Khwaja Mere Khwaja though I fail to understand all of the lyrics. To me, the song sounds so much like ‘Piya Haji Ali’ from Fiza. ARR’s khawwalis (am I right with the genre?) are a pleasure to listen to. This one genre I believe is one level higher in terms of the spirit (or call it spirituality) in music than all the others. When ARR does it, it sounds mesmerizing.

I’ll look out for Rishad Ali’s pronunciation though. Bhoola Tujhe is still a beautiful song if we could may be discount Rashid Ali’s mis-pronunciation as his style?

For me, Bhoola Tujhe would have been a gem if it wasn’t butchered by Rashid Ali’s lousy pronunciations. I wish there was a short instrumental version of this song… may be using Oboe… (like Khwaja Mere Khwaja’s instrumental version)
