Akhiyaan Hari Darshan Ki Pyaasi.. Surdas Bhajan

Akhiyaan Hari Darshan Ki Pyaasi

Mitr Pyare Nu Hal Murida Da Kehna  Mohd Rafi

Ud Jayega Hans Akela

'Pyaasi' is from Swarathma's debut album released on EMI Virgin India in Jan 2009. This version features the inimitable Shubha Mudgal, special guest on vocals. The song tells the story of a river, whose waters have been disputed for years. The song was featured in a music video by Global Water Challenge to highlight water woes that the world faces.

A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
Your thirst I quenched, now what of me?
Tied in twists, no longer running free
Tears are all that’s left of me
I was happy being water, why the insanity?
From whence do I come, whither do I go?
Of your language and your barriers, what do I know?
What being was it that poisoned your minds…
Erased human thoughts, left puppets behind?
Return O rain-cloud, from whence you came
Alas the mighty ocean shall never know my name
You still think I am holy? Dead souls I can save?
Begone with your ashes, give me the peace I crave
A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
I was happy being water, why your insanity?
