Pagalpan

It is a poem

Kya tumhe hai ye khabar
Aasan hua mera safar
Raushani hui yahaan
Tum aaye jo hum hai befikar

Aaj jo poocha hai
Lo tum suno mera ye fasaana 

Tum hi ho mera ghar
Jabse mili tumse nazar

Sapne ye sirhaane mere
Silwato se mil rahe
Ek sirah hai meri taraf
Ek se safar ban rahe

Rok lo humko yahin
Itni si hai baat
Itna sa taraana

Tum hi ho mera ghar
Jabse mili tumse nazar

Tu Mera Nahe (Acoustic Version) OST Mera Naam Yousuf Hai. APlus TV. Produced by Saad Sultan @ SideReel Studios

Tu Mera Nahi (acoustic)

A song I wrote yesterday.

I am the one who always stand against the science
I am the one who always see the run and trails

I'm scared of you
I'm scared of you to kill me,
I'm scared of you
I'm scared of you to take my breath....

I am the one who always try to find a way
I am the one who always fail to play the game..

I want to be like you
I don't want to be like you so heartless...
I so want to be like you...
I don't want to be like you so unloved,

Yes i am the one who always try to understand...
I am the one who never try to explain what I see...

Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety.

ANXIETY

Ghazal is a poetic form with rhyming couplets and a refrain, each line sharing the same meter. All couplets are thematically and emotionally autonomous. Ghazal in music is often mistakenly considered as a music genre and associated with a typical tabla/harmonium music arrangement but any poetry can be sung in any tune without a limitation of music arrangement. 
Here, Ali Aftab Saeed is performing a 'do ghazla', written by Master Altaf. Do ghazla is an amalgamation of two ghazals on the same meter. 
Punjabis have a way to minuscule their troubles by poking fun and ridiculing themselves, this adds up to their cultural uniqueness. 


This song is an ode to a wife who left her house after an argument with her husband. The simple yet graceful nine stanzas offer a glimpse of a home where the man has been left alone. The kitchen is overflowing with utensils, her slippers are still lying outside, as if she has stepped out for a moment. In typical Punajbi style, social commentary is interspersed with tongue in cheek descriptions of the man's grief for his departed partner. He cannot meet anyone because the city is dark due to load shedding. He compares her tears to Rawalpindi's infamous Naala Lai. He observes that Ravi doesn't have a drop of water in it, yet Gulshan Ravi is drowning. In the end, he expresses simple faith that things will turn out all right, asking her to come back because it's a beautiful evening.

'Machli Pani'  is a story inspired by a situation in the movie 'The Great Gatsby'.

No genre influenced Pakistani music like Pop-Rock. It was a wave that swept everything away since the new millennium. 'Machli Pani' is what Pakistani Pop-Rock has evolved into.

A short song about how they tried with toxics.

Can you feel the night ? The nightCan you see a light ? A light ?
Can you hear the night ? The night ?Can you see a light ? One light ?

They asked few questions To make themselves right,
They wanted so muchThey still want to try,

Can you save the time?This time ?
Can you turn this black to white?To white?
Can you hear the words ?
Don't leave it on the road...

They asked few questions To make things right,
They wanted so muchThey still want a life....

Thanks To Sakshi for this sketch!

They

When you try to understand your part
When you think about why life gets hard
When you travel like an aimless man
Moving round and round in page with pen

And here i'm questioning myself again
and I just realised where I am

I think I should call my friends tonight
To pour some drinks to breathe some smoke inside
I have stories in my head I wanna write about
But I'm not sure if I can end them right...

I think I wanna sleep for a while
When you run you need a pause sometimes...
