For her third performance in Coke Studio, Sufi singer Sanam Marvi renders a Sachal Sarmast work, 'Manzil-e-Sufi'. Marvi in her stint at Coke Studio 2010 thus far has garnered critical acclaim - she lives up to the expectations once again by doing justice to her mature selection. The beautiful lyrics and Marvi's raw vocals are paired with an electronic-folk feel and the backing vocalists providing the much-needed harmonies. Brilliantly unique, this improvisational track stands out not only for rhythm and melody but the incorporation of various modern influences.

Lyrics:
---------
Mullah maar na mein kojhri koon
O pious one, do not hit (or: ostracize) me
Meinkoon apna yaar manawan dey
Let me appease my Friend
Kanjri bann key saadi izzat na ghadti
By becoming a dancing girl, I won't become a lesser mortal
Sanku nach key yaar manawan dey
Let me pacify Him by dancing
Joggan theesaan yaar dey pichchon
I became a mystic for my Beloved
Saankoon gal vich maalra pawan dey
Let me put a rosary (or: the hold thread) in my neck
Ghulam Farida, ondhi oo jaanay
Farid, He will know of himself
Saankoon apni taur nibhawan dey
But I will keep up with these rites
Mein taa koi khayal
I am just a thought
(Repeat)
Hun mil saa naal... khayal dey
Let my thought become a reality
Mein taa koi khayal
I am just a thought
(Repeat)
Mein deedar, deedar mein vich
By looking at Him
(Repeat)
Pehrum wais wisaal
Him and I became one
(Repeat)
Hun mil saa naal khayal dey
Let my thought become a reality
Mein taa koi khayal
I am just a thought
(Repeat)
Sachal sach karain da zaahir
The Lord will make all apparent
(Repeat)
Allah kaan kataal (Repeat)
I pray to my Lord
Hun mil saa naal khayal dey
Let my thought become a reality
Mein taa koi khayal
I am just a thought
(Repeat)
