Lyrics:

Words have gotten stale in my brain
The thoughts remain the same
I don’t need convincing anymore
And none of your concerns

I feel all right
But I’m empty inside

If you claim to be my friend
Why won’t you try to get into my head?
Please try to tweak things up a little bit
Kick start my heart back on the road

I seem alright
But I’m empty inside

Because inside is a withered tree
Waiting for the spring
And sometimes I feel an odd change
But the ebb tide takes it all away 

Beneath the surface of the ocean
There are treasures undiscovered
Keep digging and searching
For that pearl you left behind
In your search for purpose
In a time of wonder

I’ve been trying to find
Some meaning in this life
But I can’t see through it all
These objects that I see 
Are they for real?
Or is it all just in my mind
Am I just in my mind?

Lyrics:
Meray dimagh Kay lambay safar pay aao 
Naye dhun par apnay gaanay gungunao 

Meray shehr mein itnay ghar na girao 
Sab ko haram ka muft khana na khilao 

Kis ki tujhe talash thi? 
Khoobsoorat woh hai jis mein aas thi 
Jis nay kuch aur pasand kiya usko 
tu nay pinjaray mein bund kiya 

Tumko kya samajh nahin? 
Murdo ko dekh ke tu hans nahin 


Apna jhoot tum na bikwao 
Apna maqsad na jhutlao 
Jis ka naam bech rahay ho 
Wo dekh raha hai 
Ussay Sab pata hai

Kis ki tujhe talash thi?
Tumko kya samajh nahin?

36 (Chhatees)

Shehri --شہری

This song is a special one for Nadir as a response to a dream where he saw his grandfather worrying about him. We tried to put in a bunch of strange electronic elements into the music towards the end to reflect the direction we're heading in with the new album. Special thanks to Nasir Siddiqui for pushing us in that direction.

Lyrics:
Tu ek pahaar pe khara
Mujhe anay se tu rok raha hai
Teri ruh main hai chhupa
Jo maine anay wala kal main dekha

Yaar oh meray yaar
Mera pyaar
Tu fikr na kar
Rehta hai tu mere andar
Hum donon hain mast qalandar
Thanda karlo apna ghussa
Mujh par kar thora bharosa
Rehta hai tu mere andar 
Hum donon hain mast qalandar

Jab tu mujh ko dikhta hai
Mujhe wohi baat yaad ayi
Meray hathon main jo hai
Inn saaron lo nazar na aye

Yaar oh meray yaar
Mera pyaar
Tu fiqr na kar
Rehta hai Tu mere andar
Hum donon hain mast qalandar
Mera waqt ajayega
Tu bhi dekhta reh jayega
Rehta hai tu mere andar 
Hum donon hain mast qalandar

Tu Fikr Na Kar [Feat. Nasir Siddiqui] -- تو فکر نا کر

This song is about the problems that are affecting Syria in recent times. War destroys a lot in one moment that can only be rebuild after years and there are people who take advantage of that or refuse to acknowledge that they can help fix the problem.

Lyrics:
Kahani hai hazaaron saal purai
Jo humne likhi
Hum kaisay bhool jatay hain
Sarkar ka hukum ya nachna
Jao naujawan
Unko zinda naa chhoro

Apni maa’on behnon ko chhoro
Apni izzat liye lar lo
Apne aap ko yaad rakhna
Dushman se nahin hai darna
Tum bhi tau kuch soch lo zara
Jang larne main rakha hai kya
Sayasatdanon se sawal poocho
Pyaar mohobbat ke khilaaf kyun ho tum

Kahani kab bannay ki doston
Kuch tau kaho
Hum saray so rahay hain
Paisa Khuda bana diya
Jao naujawan 
Apni awaz uthao

Masoom bachay marr rahay wahan
Iss main insaniyat kahan
Salam hai tujh par ameeron
Nikle ho khudgharz kameenon
Tum bhi tau kuch soch lo zara
Jang larne main rakha hai kiya
Sayasatdanon se sawal poocho
Pyaar mohobbat ke khilaaf kyun ho tum

Sayasatdan -- سیاستداں

Hum Tum Yeh Who - ہم تم یہ وہ (Lussun TV Sessions)

Lyrics:
Keh Agaya Hai Phir Say Badshah,
Sab Log Sun Rahay Hain,
Ga tay ja,
Keh agaya hai phirsay Badshah.

Aao mil kar kaaynaat kay raaz bataoo, 
Raaz bataaoo,
Jungalon mein kya seekha hai 
Aa samjhaoo, aa samjhaaoo
Keh kaun hain hum aur kya maqsad hai 
Aa bataoo, aa bataoo, aa bataoo,

Maula mera maula mera
Hum ko baksh do 
Hum samajhdaar nahin
Humko baksh do 
Hum gunaahgar nahin

So kar uth chukay hain nawjawan,
Raag ban gayee meri zaban,
Sajda kar liya maghrib kay orr,
Par maan gaye panchhi ka zor!

yeh log nafraton say lutf andoz kyun na howay?

Saath saalo say hai yeh nizam,
hum bhool gaye apna kalaam,
Apnay kutton ko sambhal do,
Aur kitna hongay hum badnaam??

yeh log nafraton say lutf andoz kyun na howay?

Maula maaf  kar mujhay maaf kar mein Sikandar hoon mujhay maaf kar

Dekh tamasha chalta ban kay aaya zamana harkat ka. 

Bemisal -- بیمسال

Phool-pato mein pyaar dhoond rahay ho kya?
Itni bhi aqal nahi hai?
Ma ki baat suno forun so jao yaha
Itni daant tum kha chukay ho
So gaye ho-khwaab dekh rahay ho kya?
Itni bhi aqal nahi hai?
Ma ki baat suno forun so jao yaha.

Jinn bhooto say na dar unsay poocho tum sawal
itnay bhi buray nahi hain,
Ma ki baat suno forun so jao yaha
Itni daant tum kha chukay ho
So gaye ho?-Khwaab dekh rahay ho kya?
Itni bhi aqal nahi hai
ma ki baat suno forun so jao yaha

Mujh ko lori na suna-taaray gin raha hoon
Jab say idhar hoon khara behtar ho gaya hoon



Bhai Jan -- بھائ جان

1st single from the album Words from Boxes by Ali Suhail.

Lyrics:
We stood atop our hill 
Looking down as the valley fills 
Never knowing what it was like 

Never knew what we had 
Making failures out of little plans 
Far away from worldly plights 

Boy, Do I, Miss that time. 

Marking all the streets and trees 
Never knowing boundaries... 
Yellows in a room full of blue 

Never could associate 
With their agendas and their hate 
One and the same, me and you. 

Boy, Do I, Miss that time. 

And I, could not believe 
That you could see 
Everything beyond the eye 
Could not believe 
No one could be 
So simple as you and I 
When we were the heroes, like in my mind 
When no doubts could survive. 
Boy, Do I, miss that time.
