Kuttay

Jaun Elia's personal life and writings are both commonly associated with themes of pensive sadness, defeatism and purposelessness. This experiment, however, attempts to do none of that.

Song title has been borrowed from Jaun's January 1962 editorial of 'Insha'.
Poet: Jaun Elia (Complete ghazal: https://goo.gl/eRSP3v)
Song art: Marium Ali
Mixed and mastered by Mustafa Khan

"Zindagī se ḍarte ho?" is part of Noon Meem Rashid's "La=Insan," published in 1969.


Poetic translation:
—Afraid of life, are you?
You too are life, as are we!
Afraid of life, are you

Earlier too have passed
Times of incapacity, "benevolent" providence
Yet you believe, desire is futile
This night of suppression, is the way of the Lord!

What you're unaware of
Is that if lips do not move
Hands speak up, like the morning call to prayer

Scared of that which hasn't arrived yet, are you
Scared of acknowledging its imminence, are you
