THE SKETCHES - Project - Darawar (The Dravidians)

Song: Mu Na Eeyen Ko Jaato Ho - I never knew that  

Translation in English

I never knew that…
In the name of religion
Our land would’ve to see such days!
The earth will have its religion too
The earth will be Hindu or Muslim too
Enemies of enlightenment and awakening
Enemies of music & melody
Enemies of the beauties of the world
Enemies of humanity
Don’t what they want!
Suppressing laughter’s
Opening respite of sects
Want to inflict new wound
Want to destroy fragrance
Pains and pains will be
Seen through religious dogmas
The dead will have religion too
The dead will be dug out & drag down
The dead will be black or white too
I never knew that
Shadows of trees
Will be Hindu Muslim too
Souring birds will be
Shia & Sunni too
I never knew that
Our land would’ve to
See such days too!
I never knew

Aajaye kissi din tu, Aisa bhi nahi lagta (Ghazal)
The Sketches (covers Pankaj Udhas)
Recorded at: Lahooti Studios Jamshoro (Live)
Arranged by: Nomi Ali
Vocals: Saif

When i was in School my father used to listen this ghazal of Pankaj Udhas and many others too, one reason i had strong connection with my memories is such poetry and music which still runs in my mind and certain visuals are still stored somewhere in mind having the music which my father introduced to me.

Lyrics Translated in English 

My Friend Meena

My friend Meena (a doll) and I 
Make for the dreams everyday;
We wish to make a world as good as heaven.
My friend Meena (a doll) and I 
Make for the dreams everyday;
We wish to make a world as good as heaven.

A world of yours and mine 
Where the people precede the religion; 
A world of yours and mine 
Where the people precede the religion

Where the trees, birds, cheetahs and deer 
Would live like friends here;
There is a religion only where there is love; 
Where people would hate the hatred;
Where the fortune would appear like a rainbow; 
And people would be bright like daylight;
We wish to make a world as good as heaven.


This is the river, Oh my sister! 
Which is free of all wickedness;
These seas, forests, deserts and mountains 
Play with me gleefully;
These butterflies fly along the roads;
My feelings soar high in the sky;
We wish to make a world as good as heaven.
 
My friend Meena (a doll) and I 
Make for the dreams everyday;
We wish to make a world as good as heaven.
A world of yours and mine 
Where the people precede the religion; 
A world of yours and mine 
Where the people precede the religion

Band: The Sketches
Song: Meena

Lyrics: Ishaq Samejo

Arranged & Produced by: The Sketches

Meena is inspiration from many musicians and artists who have been escalating their word out for education, and have been motivating people for education. Recording Meena also enlarged the kid residing in me.  The concern for education could not have been addressed any better than in language of child who is curious to learn and explore. Let’s spread the word of education with the aroma of Music in the air.
