Haq Tun Pak Tun - Recited by Daulatkhanu Akbar Samji







THE SENSE OF THIS GINAN
'Al-Aliyy' is one of the ninety-nine Names of Allah which means, 'The Exalted Lord'. In this short Ginan, Pir Shams praises Almighty Allah, The Exalted Lord, with a deep feeling of awe and reverence. As he sings the praise of Allah, he submits himself before his Exalted Lord, Who is above all praise, and says most humbly, 'I am Your servant, O Exalted Lord!'
