Atif Aslam Dholna, Coke Studio Season 5 Episode 4
This song “Dholna” was supposed to be on one of Atif Aslam’s albums but he wanted to do it for Coke Studio. The song talks about Aslam’s journey. He writes about the idea of searching for someone and turning to God in pain of separation from his beloved. The spiritual search for God and yearning for closeness makes the person stronger and see the Sufi idea of ‘true’ love in a different way to the point that they don’t need the worldly love they set out looking for. In the song Atif writes that the beloved returns but the person doesn’t need them anymore because he has found God and needs nothing else.
Aslam decided to include a section from ‘Shaana Uchiyan’ the renowned qawali performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He felt the qawali would help bring out the idea of searching for God and add a higher spiritual dimension to his music. A track created upon cyclic rhythm layers, which evolve through shifting accents while the underlying rhythm remains unchanged.
