It is a different experience to listen to the song Ishq Anokhri. Ustad Shafqat Ali Khan has given his voice to the song which is in the form of Multani kaafi. It's a sufi poetry of eternal love and union with the Divine. The poet of the song is Hazrat Khawaja Ghulam Fareed. Being a sufi song, many singers have given their voice to the song. This song by Shafqat Ali Khan was sung in a performance for the BBC urdu. Shafqat Ali Khan has a different approach to the sufi songs and that makes this song a wonderful composition. Though the lyrics are incomprehensible due to being in Punjabi (perhaps, i am not sure), yet the singing and style is a great experience.
