Rabba Ho, Coke Studio Pakistan, Season 6, Episode 1

Ayesha Omar connects with the basics this Season with ‘Laage Re Nain’. Based on the early evening raag Bhopali, the song’s composition has manifested in the form of an easy listening experience with a chilled out vibe and a catchy tune – making it a song that’s quick to bob your head to. A raag that she had learnt at the age of 9, Ayesha feels that this experience now transports her to her childhood, as this was one of the earliest raags she had learnt. Composed in the ancient sub-continental language of Poorbi, the verses speak of classic love, mirroring the restlessness that comes with being in love across distance. While the yearning does tug at the heart, the experience in this song is not one of sadness, it is a celebration of being in love and fully experiencing all the feelings associated with the state in true bliss. While the lyrics are reminiscent of folklore, the verses thematically express the perpetual state of search we find ourselves in while all along the way; the true voice of Love is within. While the overall composition stems from Eastern Classical origins, the feel of the song finds itself well placed with the mountain music of Nepal – a connect that begs to dive in further to discover the harmony with the Zen of Buddhist musical influences. The groovy sunshine feel of the song, performed by the band in Serbia, meets influences from Nepal such as the Flute coupled with the calming quality of bells.

Laage Re Nain - Ayesha Omar

Singer: Sanam Marvi
Language: Punjabi

Sanam Marvi returns to Coke Studio this Season with the soulfully poignant ‘Yaar Vekho’. Based on the raag Bhopali, the song is a reflection of a moment in time that contains a message that remains as relevant and powerful today as it was in the years it was conceived. The song is an amalgamation of observations by the Sufi poets Sultan Bahu and Sachchal Sarmast – from different times yet with views and themes that have spanned almost 600 years worth of human thought. Thematically, the song focuses on the eternal idea of being within the world but not of it – to aspire for a higher understanding of the concept of Mercy within the various faces and trials of the world. The verses mention that while in the world of custom and ritual, in the search of true freedom and enlightenment, one must look inside and find Mercy. The song’s tone is solemn yet with a tinge of hope that is demonstrated through the instrumentation and arrangement of the String Orchestra and the melancholic beauty of the Piano. With the acoustic guitar feel, the song becomes a listening experience that is almost nostalgic.

The song’s overall flow emphasizes on the simplicity of forlorn thought that accompanies the process of inner realization and hopes for a semblance of peace. Ultimately, the song urges for Resolution to be found within.

Wadali brothers Qawwali version of Chuk charkha gali de wich paawan

Ve mahiya tere vekhan nu, 
chuk charkha gali de vich daanwa'an,

Ve loka paane main kat di, 
tang teriya yaad de panwa. 

Charkhe di oo kar de ole, 
yaad teri da tumba bole. 

ve nimma nimma geet ched ke, 
tang kath di hullare kha'waan 

vasan ni deinde saurey pekey, 
mainu tere pain pulekhe, 

ve hoon mainu das mahiya, 
tere baaju kidhar nu jaawan.

Ve mahiya tere vekhan nu - Wadali Brothers

You may not take notice of me
But do come to me

I am a sacrifice unto you
Do come to me

I’ve looked around in fields and forest
There is none like you
Do come to me

Your love has made me dance like mad
Your love has made me dance like mad

A peacock calls in the grove of passion
It’s Qibla, It’s Kaaba where lives my love
You asked not once after you stabbed
Your love has made me dance like mad

Your love has made me dance like mad
Your love has made me dance like mad
Your love has made me dance like mad
