Bavra Mann Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna

Rendition of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poem originally sung by the great Nayyara Noor. For the Awami Workers Party's first federal congress in Islamabad on the 27-28 of September, 2014. 

Intesaab - Faiz

An adaptation of Ilayaraja's "En Iniya Pon" from the film Moodu Pani with fellow Raja enthusiast @mediumcoffee . This project is called "Le Rogeur" and the idea was not to do a literal cover but improvise liberally while still retaining the semblance of the original song. Here we take Raja's original harmony/chord structure & use more jazzy variants. The other improv happens in the interludes, where we start out sounding like the original interlude but wander off into different territories. We hope to do a few more of these under the "Le Rogeur" moniker over the next few weeks. And oh, another thing. For this project, in recognition of the technical challenges of Ilayaraja's golden years (the 80s), we will only use real instruments live-recorded without any software programming.

हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम की तू क्या है
तुम्हीं कहो के ये अंदाज़ ऐ गुफ्तगू क्या है?
At everything I say, you interject with "what are you?"
You tell me what is this kind of cosy conversation?

रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं कायल
जब आँख से ही न टपका तोः फिर लहू क्या है?
That blood that merely flows in the veins is not worthy of anything
It's only when eyes cry tears of blood that it's worthy of praise

जला है जिस्म जहाँ दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख जुस्तजू क्या है?
The fire of love consumes both the heart and the body
what are you doing poking around in the embers trying to rekindle an old flame 

ये रश्क है की वो होता है हमसुखन हमसे
वगरना खौफ ऐ बदामोजी ऐ अदू क्या है?
My envy is that he converses with you,
not the fear that he might mislead you against me


न शोले में ये करिश्मा न बर्क में ये अदा 
कोई बताओ की वो शोख ऐ तुन्दखू क्या है?
Neither the flame has this miracle, nor the lightning this grace,
Will anyone tell me, what is this ill-tempered mischievous/coquettish one.

ps: Urdu purists, please excuse my South Indian accent and likely mispronunciations.
