Avaralang - Ali Suhail (Everlong - Foo Fighters Cover)

Shorbanoor insisted he wanted to play on an electric guitar. So we borrowed Zain Ahsan's Fender Blues Junior amplifier and used like 3 extension wires to plug the amp in an outdoor setting. That's where Mr. Shorbanoor sang this song before asking us to remove any kind of profanity he may or may not have used. 

The Smog City Sessions is a collaboration between Lahore based RTF Studio and the alternative indie magazine MOSIKI. 
In the smoggy air of Lahore, we're trying to bring the best Pakistani musicians up to the mic to sing a song or two with no audience to witness them except for a couple of cameras, a few curious onlookers, and occasionally Misbah's dogs Crusoe and Mincy.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Aankhon mein thi masti
Na tha kabhi ye socha
Par dil millay dasti
Pata bhi nahi chala
Thi sab se tu alag si 
Ab dekho kya hai hogaya
Ek hadh tak jo samajh thi
Wo hai chali gayi kahan?
Nazrein milltay hi hoagaya tha ehsaas ke
Khushian lay ke khari hai tu apnay haathon mein
Sochnay ki fursat hi na thi meray dimaagh mein
Aur meray dil mein chali aandhi, baat ab saaf hai
Tou aaja lay ke chaloon tujhay khwaab mein
Jo bhi kami hai wo poori kar lein gay hum baad mein
Bas darna nahi hai tu ne haan pyaar se
Baaki chor de sab tu meray pe, aaja chalein
Baatein gol nahi karni ab tu aaja meri baahon mein
Tu hi hai wohi jiss ka kar raha tha intezaar mein
Nakhray nahi hai karnay, pooray kar day meray sapnay
Kab se hun mein yun adhoora aaja meray se ye waaday kar lay

[Chorus]
Haan ye dunya alag, hum alag hain
Baaki sab hain aam par hum tou farak hain
Zindagi hai mushkil par sabar hai
Agar magar chorro bolo agar koi qadar hai
Tou aaja aaja chalein door hum yahan se
Manzil hain anjaani par kisi tarah se
Mill hi gaye hain hum ab bhool jayein gay saaray ghum hum
Na sochein gay ziaada hum haan karo mujh se waada ke
Gum jayein gay hum

[Verse 2]
Dekho mein ne kardi
Chupi hui ye dil ki baat
Kya ki hai mein ne ghalti?
Ye tou waqt hi bataye ga
Par hai rehti tu hassti
Kaisay haan ye tou bata?
Kya khushi hai ye asli?
Ya hai koi ajab sa nasha?
Kismat hi lay ke aayi hum ko iss jahaan mein
Kar lay hum pe aitebaar bolo jo hai zubaan pe
Khushian bhi hain yahan bolo darnay ki kya baat hai?
Tension nahi hai laini kyun ke hum dono ab saath hain
Tou aaja gum jaatay hain hum khwaab mein
Jo mushkil hogi banaani hum ne asaan hai
Bas darna nahi hai tu ne haan pyaar se
Baaki chor de sab tu meray pe, aaja chalein
Baatein gol nahi karni ab tu aaja meri baahon mein
Tu hi hai wohi jiss ka kar raha tha intezaar mein
Nakhray nahi hai karnay, pooray kar day meray sapnay
Kab se hun mein yun adhoora aaja meray se ye waaday kar lay

[Chorus]
Haan ye dunya alag, hum alag hain
Baaki sab hain aam par hum tou farak hain
Zindagi hai mushkil par sabar hai
Agar magar chorro bolo agar koi qadar hai
Tou aaja aaja chalein door hum yahan se
Manzil hain anjaani par kisi tarah se
Mill hi gaye hain hum ab bhool jayein gay saaray ghum hum
Na sochein gay ziaada hum haan karo mujh se waada ke
Gum jayein gay hum

[Verse 3]
Tou aaja qadam rakhein apnay khwaab mein
Dunya ko hilla dein apni iss baat se
Ke ek doosray ke liye jeenay ki waja se 
Millta hai laazawaal sa samaa, chalein?
Nazron pe nazrein gira chalein
Inn ke jaaduon ko dara chalein
Hum dono rahein gay haan saath kharray
Har tarah ke aazaab se haan larhein
Har kisi ko hum ye bata chalein
Ke hum se na haar ki baat karein
Waqt ko yun apna bana chalein
Muft ki yain se aazaad kharay
Tum se hi tou seekha hai mein ne
Kis tarah se jeenay hai mein ne
Har mushkil ko peena hai
Haan har mushkil ko peena hai meinay
Tou agar magar choro kya meri khata hai?
Aisay sochnay mein ke ab mein aur tum aazaad hain
Hathkarhi hi nahi thi kabhi bhi iss khwaab pe
Zindagi se bachnay ka ye khwaab hi ilaaj hai
Harr koi humein kahay heer raanjha
Chorta kyun nahi hai zamaana?
Issi liye tou mein tujhay kahoon aaja
Likhay ek nayya afsaana

[Hook]
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein hum
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein hum
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein hum
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein hum
Aaja, aaja, gum hojayein

Narration Text/translation from ‘Tomar Khola Hawa’ 

Majhir laagi achhi jaagi 
Shokol raatri bela 
Dheu gulo je amay niye 
Kore kebol khela

I’m awake all night, waiting for the sailor 
But the waves, they only play with me

Lyrics: 

Purano shei diner kotha 
Bhulbi ki re haay o she 
Choker dekha praaner kotha 
Shei ki bhola jaay

Soye nahi, jaage nahi, khoye nahi, bhaage nahi
Dil ke ye pinjre ki mere paas chabi nahi, chabi nahi

Kein hongi batein kayi, kaati hongi ratein kayi, ratein kayi
Phir bhi ye pinjre ki mere paas chabi nahi, chabi nahi

Jo hai tera, rahe tera
Jo hai mera, woh sab hai tera

Aay aar ek ti baar aay re shokha
Praaner majhe aay
Mora shuker dukher kotha kobo 
Praan joraabe jaay

Soye nahi, jaage nahi, khoye nahi, bhaage nahi
Dil ke ye pinjre ki, mere paas chabhi nahi, chabi nahi

Kiye honge waade kayi, torday hein irade sabhi, waday sabhi
Phir bhi ye pinjre ki, mere paas chabi nahi, chabi nai

Jo hai tera, rahe tera
Jo hai mera, woh sab hai tera

(Urdu/Bengali overlap)

Haay maajh er holo chaara-chaari
Gele ke kothaay
Aamar dekha jodi holo tobe praaner maajhe aay

Soye nahi, jaage nahi, khoye nahi, bhaage nahi
Dil ke ye pinjre ki, mere paas chabhi nahi, chabi nahi

Purano shei diner kotha 
Bhulbi ki re haay o she 
Choker dekha praaner kotha 
Shei ki bhola jaay

Kiye honge waade kayi, torday hein irade sabhi, waday sabhi
Phir bhi ye pinjre ki, mere paas chabi nahi, chabi nai



Translation

How could you forget our past
could anyone forget those trysts, that intimacy

Im not awake, nor asleep, not found but not yet lost 
And the key to my locked heart, I don’t hold 

We’ve spent many a night, locked in talk
but still, that key, I do not have 

So what is yours, may it remain yours
And what is mine...is yours

Friend, be by my side
Let us talk pleasure, grief and relief

We got separated, we were lost
But since we are now reunited,
Friend, be by my side

Im not awake, nor asleep, not found but not yet lost 
And the key to my locked heart, I don’t hold 

We made promises, we forgot the past,
Yet I still can’t unlock the cage of my heart

Somewhere we are separated,
O’ Where were we lost
If we ever reunite, friend, be by my side
