दिल तसूरान

Dil Tsooran is the lead single and emotional anchor of the Songs of Paradise (2025) soundtrack — a Kashmiri classical composition meaning 'Heart's Yearning', sung by Masrat Un Nissa under the musical direction of santoor maestro Abhay Rustum Sopori. The song recurs in five versions across the 14-track album (full, Unplugged, Eternal, Reprise, Fusion), reflecting its centrality to the film. It was associated with the original compositions of Raj Begum, whose life the film chronicles — a woman who sang with complete devotion in a time when women were forbidden from public artistic expression.

Abhay Rustum Sopori's recomposition places the santoor — his signature instrument and the Sopori family's defining sound — at the emotional centre. Traditional Kashmiri percussion and the santoor's crystalline sustain create a meditative atmosphere. Masrat Un Nissa navigates the Kashmiri melodic modal system with deep familiarity.

Dil Tsooran belongs to the Kashmiri classical tradition — a body of song that Raj Begum embodied at Radio Kashmir. Abhay Rustum Sopori's recomposition preserves the modal character of the original while allowing contemporary recording sensibility.

Part of the Songs of Paradise (2025) 14-track Kashmiri album, recomposed by Abhay Rustum Sopori and released 5 September 2025 under Universal Music India. The songs honour Raj Begum's musical legacy within Danish Renzu's biographical film, premiering on Amazon Prime Video 29 August 2025.

The Songs of Paradise album preserves Kashmiri classical and folk compositions — a tradition endangered by decades of conflict — within the mainstream visibility of a major streaming release on Amazon Prime Video.
