Murshidabadi S(oumy)ang Sant Kabir’s poem

If the four songs from Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Moko Kahan would be the last.

It was the longest song on its soundtrack – it was four minutes and 32 seconds long,

The Shantanu Moitra composition was sung by Soumya Murshidabadi.

It was written by Sant Kabir, a 15^th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, who was born in Varanasi, and died in Maghar.

Incidentally, all the three cities mentioned in this poet – viz., Pilibhit, Varanasi and Maghar – are in present-day Uttar Pradesh, a state in north India.
