Singer: Zoe Viccaji
Featuring: Sumru Ağıryürüyen
Language: Urdu & Turkish

In connecting musical roots, Zoe Viccaji brings her version of a melody that has traveled across the globe in many forms to now be presented as ‘Ishq Kinara’. She had heard the song in its Turkish equivalent – ‘Üsküdar'a Gider İken’ - and upon delving into the origin of the song, was inspired by not only the melody but the universality of its tune in the way that it has been reinvented in many different cultures across the globe. Given the driving inspiration behind Zoe’s connection with the melody was in her Turkish experience of the song, the composition was bridged with the vocals of Sumru Ağıryürüyen bringing the traditional Turkish song to the fold lending a link to its root. Sumru states that while ‘Üsküdar’a Gider İken’ stems from the old, Anatolian neighborhood of Üsküdar in Istanbul, the Turkish version’s roots connect even further to several other countries - Bosnia, Scotland and beyond. This fact was further confirmed by members of L’Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio in Rome, Italy, who had heard versions of the same melody. The Turkish version of the song primarily dealt with the theme of the despair caused by Loss in the name of Love, however Zoe, in connecting with the song personally, lyrically made her version about the idea of independence and self-realization in the name of Loss. ‘Ishq Kinara’ talks of the last moment of vulnerability as a relationship is severed, and looks on to being complete within one’s Self after the Loss. With an upbeat mixed canvas of instrumentation from Italy, Turkey, Morocco and Pakistan, the song becomes Pakistan’s version of the mysterious melody.

Qurat ul Ain Baloch - Woh Humsafar Tha

Ek kahani hai sunani , Dastaan apni hai batanii... Ek larki pyari si , Ban gyi thi zindagani... Aj wo meray sang nahiin , Bus yadain hain uskii.. Aur kehta hoon aj bhi mein wohii , Jo batana hai usko... Duniya Meri Pyari Duniya... Intezaar aaj bhi karta hoon tumhara... Aj kisko mein dosh doon , Kisko gunahgaar kahoon... Wo larki pariyoon jaisi , Ban gai thi malka merii... Ab meray suur sangeet mein , Bus ik hii paighaam hai... Ye dil mera to hai haan cheez kiya , ye jaan bhi naam teray... Duniya Meri Pyari Duniya... Intezaar aaj bhi karta hoon tumhara.. To phir laut aou na , Aou na... Ab aa bhi jaou naa , Aou naa... Duniya mujh ko hai tum ko ye batlana , sath mein bhi hai batana tum jaisi koi nahin , Hai iss jahan mein , Tum ho , Bus tum hi tum ho , Tum jaisi to koi bhi nahin hai , Dhunda mein nay lamhoon mein saaloon mein , Zameen pe bhi Sehra mein bhi , Dhunda meine satoon aasmanoon mein bhi , Na milii . To tu bhi phir yaad kar un Lamhoon Wadoon Rishton Natoon Kasmoon Saroon aur wapas ajaou naaa .. Meri Duniya .. Duniya Meri Pyari Duniya... Baksh do na tum mujhay... Ab laut aou naa .. MERI DUNIYA!
