Miscellaneous
This is one of most beautiful shruks - verses- written by Sheikh Noorudin Noorani (1377-1440). He was a preacher and a poet. His contributions and work towards Kashmir has accorded him a saintly status. He is known as Alamdar - the flag bearer of Kashmiris. I have had this recording in my phone since 2016 during a session at the Mirwaiz Manzil in Srinagar. I don’t know who recited this beautiful kalaam but it’s been in my head ever since. I tried really hard to fix my broken phone which has this recording. Thankfully, I was able to recover it.
