Ranjish hi sahi- Iqbal Bano

A Richard Thompson/Dave Swarbrick song written for Sandy Denny to sing.  Three musical genuses and the combined dark side of Fairport Convention, you might say. We yearn for that mad Steelye-Spanish place where rock and traditional folk meet and this folk ballad sounds both very now and like it could have been written in the middle ages.

Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they fell a-talking
Your future, your future I will tell to you
Your future you often have asked me
Your true love will die by your own right hand
And crazy man Michael will cursèd be.

Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
And beat the four winds with his fists-o
He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
For his mad mind had trapped him with a curse-o.
You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate
You speak for the devil that haunts me
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land
Your sorcerer's words are to taunt me.

He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
And struck down the raven through the heart-o
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
And the cold earth did wonder and start-o
O where is the raven that I struck down dead
That here did lie on the ground-o
I see that my true love with a wound so red
And her lover's heart it did pound-o.

Crazy Man Michael he wanders off course 
And talks to the night and the day-o
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is plain
And he longs to be far away-o.
O Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
And asks the wild woods their pardon
For his true love is flown into every flower grown
And he must be keeper of the garden.

Crazy Man Michael

Mann Lago Yaar - Abida sings Kabir by Gulzar

āshiyāne kī baat karte ho 
dil jalāne kī baat karte ho 
saarī duniyā ke ranj-o-ġham de kar 
muskurāne kī baat karte ho 
ham ko apnī ḳhabar nahīñ yaaro 
tum zamāne kī baat karte ho 
zikr merā sunā to charh ke kahā 
kis divāne kī baat karte ho 
hādsa thā guzar gayā hogā 
kis ke jaane kī baat karte ho
