Song synopsis : 

As the sea rages, a boat battles the waves of its fury. But the boatman doesn’t lose heart. He sings a song of hope instead. For to him, as the shore grows farther, the horizon seems closer. As the storm grows fiercer, the wind's music sounds louder. And as the night grows darker, the fireflies glow brighter. Majhdhar. It speaks of finding optimism and courage, even in the toughest of times and the stormiest of seas.

Song lyrics in Hindi :
सागर की लहरों में 
गोते खाती नाव है 
दूर है किनारा इसका 
दूर इसका गाँव है
कहता है मांझी इसका 
जो हुआ सो ठीक है 
दूर हो किनारा चाहे 
आसमां नज़दीक है 

खारे से इस पानी में भी 
घुलती कुछ मिठास है 
टूटे-गिरते तारे के भी 
मन में कोई आस है 
फिके-फिके बादलों को 
आतिशी अब साज़ है 
खाली से इस समा में 
भरता तूफ़ां सांस है 

अँधेरी रातें भी 
जुगनुओं की रास है 
ढलते हुए सूरज में भी  
भरता रंग पलाश है 
मांझी को ना अब कभी 
छोर की तलाश है 
दूर हो किनारा चाहे 
आसमां तो पास है 

Song Lyrics in English :

Sagar ki lehero mein
gote khaati naav hai
duur hai kinaara iska
duur iska gaav hai
kehta hai maajhi iska,
jo hua so theek hai
duur ho kinaara chaahe
aasma nazdik hai.

Khaare se is paani mein bhi
ghulti kuch mithaas hai
Tute-girte taare ke bhi
mann mein koi aas hai
Pheeke pheeke baadalonko
aatishi ab saaz hai
Khaali se is samaa mein
Bharta toophan saans hai.

Andheri raate bhi
jugnuonki rasa hai
dhalte hue sooraj mein bhi
bharta rang palash hai
maajhi ko na ab kabhi
chhor ki talaash hai
duur ho kinaara chahe
aasma toh paas hai

They are the paper tigers, the keyboard warriors and the armchair activists. They have many plans and many dreams. But when it comes to taking action they have just as many excuses too. And perhaps, 'they’ are you and me?

Kesari. A colour that stands for bravery and valour. But today, in a world full of cowards, is anyone really worthy of donning it? The song asks us to look inward and once again find the courage, the heroes, within ourselves.

Majhdhar. A boatman's song that speaks of finding optimism and courage, even in the toughest of times and the stormiest of seas.

Majhdhar

Jaagar comes from the Sanskrit word jaag or to wake. 

We, through our music, hope to awaken the spirit, the power that resides within each and every one of us.

Everything we have to say is something that you have heard, thought, observed or experienced but yet have somehow left behind in the dormant recesses of your mind. 

They are things you have felt but forgotten. Pondered but not practiced. Believed in but blocked out as you ran on, as if in a deep sleep, in the unforgiving rat race. 

So we are here to tell you to wake up from your slumber. And to remind you to listen. Not to us, but to yourself. And to the world around you.
