Sufi qawwali wedding invitation song: Mehfil

♫ कौन आएगा? आप आएंगे!…

Mehfil is a Sufi-style qawwali wedding invitation song: harmonium, hand claps and a lead singer answered by the chorus, set under lanterns and carved Mughal arches. At the break, a voice tells each guest the mehfil is incomplete without them — by name.

About Mehfil

Who it suits

The question the chorus keeps asking — kaun aayega? aap aayenge! — is what the whole song is about, which makes it one of the warmest ways to say 'we want you there'.

The film moves through night courtyards, musicians on carpets and a lit haveli at the end, with each function getting its own scene.

Best for: Families who love Sufi music and ghazal evenings, and couples planning a qawwali night or a mehfil-style sangeet.

Their name, then 'aapke bina ye mehfil adhoori hai' — the gathering is incomplete without you — before the song moves on to the families.
