"Manikya Malaraya Poovi" is a Mappila song originally composed by Thalassery Rafeeque in 1978 and performed by Eranjoli Moosa. The song which was later recomposed by Shaan Rahman for the 2018 Malayalam film Oru Adaar Love is sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan.[1] It became the fastest video from South India to receive 50 million views on YouTube.[2][3]
Manikya Malaraya Poovi is considered one of the finest songs in the Mappila Song, a folklore Muslim music genre in Kerala. Originally composed by Thalassery K. Refeeque in 1978, it was written by P. A. Jabbar and performed by Eranjoli Moosa.[4] The song is also considered one of the best performances by Moosa and he has performed it in several stages. The song compares the beauty of Khadijah, the wife of Muhammad, to a pearl flower, during her first interaction with him. In 2018, the song was recreated by Shaan Rahman for the film Oru Adaar Love directed by Omar Lulu and was sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan.[5][6]
