Lyrics in Sindhi

جا خدا کان نه ٿي جا نه امڪان ۾
ڪالهه کان ڳالهه آهي سا انسان ۾

هو ته مونکي چِتا تي وٺي ٿي ويا
مينهن برسي پيو ڪالهه شمشان ۾

بادلو بادلو ڪجهه ته برسي وڃو
رات ترسي وڃو هِن بيابان ۾

عشق تنهنجو اياز آهي انسان سان
هو چون ٿا ته تون ناهين ايمان ۾

جا خدا کان نه ٿي جا نه امڪان ۾
ڪالهه کان ڳالهه آهي سان انسان ۾

Translation in English

What was beyond the world of possibility & god couldn't accomplish 
That has been a human attribute 

They were set to put me on fire 
But other day The Rain broke out in the crematorium 
to foil their wish

O Ye clouds O Ye clouds, do some downpour
stay over night in the bleak desert of my soul

Ayaz you have found God in Human/Humanity so you adore them
Clergy claims you Faithless

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

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 
Language: Sindhi
Lyrics: Ishaq Samejo
Recorded: Lahooti Studios (Jamshoro Sindh)
Guitars: Omran Shafique 
Mix Master: Jono Manson (New Mexico, Santa Fe US)
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.

The Sketches - Nind Nashe Vich

Nigah-e-darwaishaan - Abida Parveen


خبرِ تحیرِ عشق سن، نہ جنوں رہا، نہ پری رہی
نہ تو تُو رہا، نہ تو میں رہا، جو رہی سو بے خبری رہی

شہِ بے خودی نے عطا کیا، مجھے اب لباسِ برہنگی
نہ خرد کی بخیہ گری رہی، نہ جنوں کی پردہ دری رہی

چلی سمتِ غیب سے اک ہوا کہ چمن ظہور کا جل گیا
مگر ایک شاخِ نہالِ غم جسے دل کہیں سو ہری رہی

نظرِ تغافلِ یار کا گلہ کس زباں سے کروں بیاں
کہ شرابِ حسرت و آرزو، خمِ دل میں تھی سو بھری رہی

وہ عجب گھڑی تھی کہ جس گھڑی لیا درس نسخۂ عشق کا
کہ کتاب عقل کی طاق پر جو دھری تھی سو وہ دھری رہی

ترے جوشِ حیرتِ حسن کا اثر اس قدر ہے یہاں ہوا
کہ نہ آئینے میں جِلا رہی، نہ پری میں جلوہ گری رہی

کیا خاک آتشِ عشق نے دلِ بے نوائے سراج کو
نہ خطر رہا، نہ حذر رہا، جو رہی سو بے خطری رہی


Abida - Mujhe bekhude ye tuney

Its recorded all live one go last night and we name it (A peaceful Musical journey of Four Minutes Twenty  four Seconds)

We dedicate this song to all those victim not only in Pakistan but every where in the world who are fighting for humanity, human rights, education and revolution which must take place whatever circumstance.
We condemn violence either political, feudal, religious or any kind of against innocents, minorities, education, women, poor, child and we salute all those who are fighting for humanity, fighting for their rights. We condemn the system and state which can't provide even one time bread, shelter, protection to their common people. We salute all those who sacrificed their lives for bringing positive change in their society and all those who are still in continuos struggle being jailed, harassed, kidnapped by forces who claimed themselves as guaranteers of peaceful society but badly failed and keep on harming their own people. Shame on the system where poverty keep increasing, law and order exist no where in our society and a particular class is busy sucking poor's blood.

 من شعر السهروردي

أَبداً تَحنُّ إِلَيكُمُ الأَرواحُ	 وَوِصالُكُم رَيحانُها وَالراحُ
وَقُلوبُ أَهلِ وِدادكم تَشتاقُكُم	 وَإِلى لَذيذ لقائكم تَرتاحُ
وَا رَحمةً للعاشِقينَ تَكلّفوا	 ستر المَحبّةِ وَالهَوى فَضّاحُ
بِالسرِّ إِن باحوا تُباحُ دِماؤُهم	 وَكَذا دِماءُ العاشِقينَ تُباحُ
وَإِذا هُم كَتَموا تَحَدّث عَنهُم	 عِندَ الوشاةِ المَدمعُ السَفّاحُ
أَحبابنا ماذا الَّذي أَفسدتمُ	 بِجفائكم غَير الفَسادِ صَلاحُ
خَفضَ الجَناح لَكُم وَلَيسَ عَلَيكُم	 لِلصَبّ في خَفضِ الجَناح جُناحُ
وَبَدَت شَواهِدُ للسّقامِ عَلَيهمُ	 فيها لِمُشكل أمّهم إِيضاحُ
فَإِلى لِقاكم نَفسهُ مُرتاحةٌ	 وَإِلى رِضاكُم طَرفه طَمّاحُ
عودوا بِنورِ الوَصلِ مِن غَسَق الدُّجى	 فَالهَجرُ لَيلٌ وَالوصالُ صَباحُ
صافاهُمُ فَصَفوا لَهُ فَقُلوبهم	 في نُورِها المِشكاةُ وَالمِصباحُ
وَتَمَتّعوا فَالوَقتُ طابَ لِقُربِكُم	 راقَ الشّراب وَرَقّتِ الأَقداحُ
يا صاحِ لَيسَ عَلى المُحبِّ مَلامَةٌ	 إِن لاحَ في أُفق الوِصالِ صَباحُ
لا ذَنبَ لِلعُشّاقِ إِن غَلَبَ الهَوى	 كِتمانَهُم فَنما الغَرامُ فَباحوا
سَمَحوا بِأَنفُسِهم وَما بَخِلوا بِها	 لَمّا دَروا أَنّ السَّماح رَباحُ
وَدعاهُمُ داعي الحَقائقِ دَعوة	 فَغَدوا بِها مُستَأنسين وَراحوا
رَكِبوا عَلى سنَنِ الوَفا وَدُموعهُم	 بَحرٌ وَشِدّة شَوقهم مَلّاحُ
وَاللَّهِ ما طَلَبوا الوُقوفَ بِبابِهِ	 حَتّى دعوا فَأَتاهُم المفتاحُ
لا يَطربونَ بِغَيرِ ذِكر حَبيبِهم	 أَبَداً فَكُلُّ زَمانِهم أَفراحُ
حَضَروا وَقَد غابَت شَواهِدُ ذاتِهم	 فَتَهَتّكوا لَمّا رَأوه وَصاحوا
أَفناهُم عَنهُم وَقَد كشفَت لَهُم	 حجبُ البقا فَتَلاشتِ الأَرواحُ
فَتَشَبّهوا إِن لَم تَكُونوا مِثلَهُم	 إِنَّ التَّشَبّه بِالكِرامِ فَلاحُ
قُم يا نَديم إِلى المدامِ فَهاتها	 في كَأسِها قَد دارَتِ الأَقداحُ
مِن كَرمِ أَكرام بدنّ ديانَةٍ	 لا خَمرَة قَد داسَها الفَلّاحُ
هيَ خَمرةُ الحُبِّ القَديمِ وَمُنتَهى	 غَرض النَديم فَنعم ذاكَ الراحُ
وَكَذاكَ نوحٌ في السَّفينة أَسكَرَت	 وَلَهُ بِذَلِكَ رَنَّةً وَنِياحُ
وَصَبَت إِلى مَلَكوتِهِ الأَرواحُ	 وَإِلى لِقاءِ سِواه ما يَرتاحُ
وَكَأَنَّما أَجسامهُم وَقُلوبهُم	 في ضَوئِها المِشكاةُ وَالمِصباحُ
مَن باحَ بَينَهُم بِذِكرِ حَبيبِهِ	 دَمهُ حلالٌ لِلسّيوفِ مُباحُ

Not Me Alone - The Sketches - Live Session at roof top in Jamshoro Sindh
Poetry: Shaikh Ayaz 
Composed: Jono Manson & The Sketches
Guitars: Khuram Hassan
Percussions: Asif Hasnain 
Bass: Awais

تون چئين مَ ڪڇان
تون چئين مَ لڇان
پر توکان هڪڙي ڳالهه پُڇان
تون ڪنهن ڪنهن کي خاموش ڪندي
اعلان هزارين مان نه رڳو

شيخ اياز

They have died without their death, thousands of men, not me alone.
In this world, O my country, thousands have gone crazy, not me alone;

All night long eyes did not close and dew fell drop by drop,
If the morning cups its hand then,
In prison, there will be thousands, not me alone;

Why does the moon fill the world with poison,
In these last hours of the night,
thousands wonder, not me alone;

If you say so, I will neither tremble nor cry,
But now let me ask you: how many will you silence,
proclamations are thousands, not me alone;

Time will pass and our luck will turn,
This fire will rage all the more,
Thousands hopes, not me alone.

Shaikh Ayaz the man of Romance, Love, Nationalism and huge vision - Ayaz's poetry played a major role in the development of progressive thinking in the country, particularly in Sindh. He was the very imprint of Shah Latif's mystic poetry and will always be remembered as a great humanist and artist.
