Aas Paas - Atif Aslam & Hadiqa Kiyani

Momina - Mustehsan - Har - Zulm

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.

Hum Kyun Chalein
Us Rah Par
Jis Rah Par
Sab hee chalein

Hum Kyun Chalein
Us Rah Par
Jis Rah Par
Sab hee chalein
Kyun Na Chunein
Woh raasta
Jis par nahin
Koi gaya

Dil udaas nazrein udaas
Dilbar nahin agar aas paas
Din raat aah bharna
Aur beqaraar rehna
Yeh khail hai beqaar hai
Kuch bhi nahin angaar hai
Is aag main jalein kyun
Pal pal jiyein marein kyun

Hum Kyun Chalein
Us Rah Par
Jis Rah Par
Sab hee chalein
Kyun na chunein
Woh raasta
Jis Par nahin
Koi gaya

Bus dekhne ki baat hai
Aik ishq kya, hain hazaar ishq
Laakhon sanam chhupe hein
Aur rah dekhte hein
Chalo ishq ka kaha maan kar
Apna sanam pehchaan kar
Kisi ese rang rang jaayein
Sab se juda nazar aayein...
Sab se juda nazar aayein...
Sab se juda nazar aayein...

Hum Kyun Chalein
Us Rah Par
Jis Rah Par
Sab hee chalein
Kyun na chunein
Woh raasta
Jis Par nahin
Koi gaya


Hum kyun chalain Us Rah Par

Ali Sethi - OST Yeh Mera Deewanapan

Coke Studio :
On their first collaborative single, ‘Sammi Meri Waar’ – the duo, Umair Jaswal and Quratulain Balouch (QB) stick close to their dual strengths. A folk Punjabi song that’s traditionally sung at weddings – the track has been masterfully entwined by the house band featuring a strong groove underlined by Sajid Ali’s flute and Tanveer Tafu’s moody Mandolin rhythm. Jaswal’s gloriously expressive voice fusing smoothly with QB’s signature deep vocals gives way to the hook of the song’s rising chorus making it a track that’s both catchy and irresistible.
