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

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.

Language: Sindhi



نظم
(سردار شاھ)

ڪجھ شعر لکڻ گھرجن
ڪجھ پيار ڪرڻ گهرجي

ڪو پھر حياتي جي
کيسي مان ڪجي چوري
درياه جي ڪناري تي
ڪا دير وڃي ٿوري
لھرن جون ٻڌي لاتيون
لھرن سان ڪجن باتيون
ڪا ڳالھ اڃي من جي
درياه سان سلڻ گھرجي
ڪجھ پيار ڪرڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ شعر لکڻ گھرجن 

ڪو پھر حياتي جو
جهنگلن ۾ وڃي گهمجي
۽ دل جي ٽاري تان
ڪي پل پکين جھڙا
بي چين ھوا وانگر
چنچل اکين جھڙا
پل پل ٿا اڏن جيڪر
پل پل ئي اڏڻ گھرجي
ڪجھ پيار ڪرڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ شعر لکڻ گھرجن 

ڪو پھر حياتي جو
صحرا سان وڃي ملجي
واري جي وڇاڻي تي
ڪا رات وڃي رھجي
ڀٽ ڀٽ جي سيني ۾
ڪو راز وڃي رکجي
ڪجھ ميگھ مندون ڏيئي
ڪا پياس وٺڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ پيار ڪرڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ شعر لکڻ گھرجن 

ڪو پھر حياتي جو
خود ڏانهن به ورڻ گھرجي
پي ڪير رليو مون ۾
مان ڪنھن سان مليو آهيان
ھو ڪير رنو مون ۾
مان ڪنھن سان کليو آھيان
ڪجھ خود کي ڏسڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ خود کان پڇڻ گھرجي
ڪجھ پيار ڪرڻ گهرجي
ڪجھ شعر لکڻ گھرجن

Kujh Pyar Karan Ghurjay - The Sketches .mp3

Mara Urta Bhawariya is a Kutchi folk song that represents indigenous peoples' love for birds and bees. It's a festive song sung in many regions of Tharparkar where people perform Kutchi Rasuda as they celebrate biodiversity.

(Turn on CC)
Translation:

I won’t harm you,
Oh, my flying bumblebee,
I won’t harm you

Let’s write some poetry,
Let’s love a little,
Let’s steal a moment from life’s own pocket

Let’s go to the riverbank,
Let’s invoke the river waves,
Let’s speak to the river of our own longing hearts

Let’s love a little,
Let’s write some poetry

I won’t harm you,
Oh, my flying bumblebee,
I won’t harm you
Oh my flying birdie, 
I won’t harm you

Oh, bumblebee, sitting on my nose pin,
I won’t harm you,
I won’t shoo you away,
My flying bumblebee, I won’t harm you

Flying bumblebee, sitting on my bangle
Oh flying bumblebee, sitting on my bangle

I won’t harm you,
I won’t shoo you away,

My flying…
My flying…
My flying bumblebee, I won’t harm you
My flying birdie, I won’t harm you

Urdu version of Sapna Sapna was challenging but also exciting endeavor! Adapting a song from Sindhi to Urdu while preserving its spirit has been quite the creative process. I'm sure the audience will appreciate the effort and enjoy the new rendition in today's episode of Ishq Murshid.

Translation:

You fell asleep too early at the twilight, wrapping up face like the dead!
You never disciplined your eyes learn wakefulness (despite being immersed in Punhoon’s in love)?  It all is blunder on your part, why blaming men of Kech instead?


Why the Spring (season) doesn’t arise yet again?
Oh you inane (silly)! Now keep on weeping (lamenting).
Seeing (merciless) love of the Jatta! OR
Seeing the dwellings of the Jatta!


They departed (for journey) as I fell asleep,
(I learnt only after) the Sun rose over me!
Oh you inane (silly)! Now keep on weeping (lamenting).
Seeing (merciless) love of the Jatta! OR
Seeing the dwellings of the Jatta!


In the huge city of Bhanbhor,
Again, there was an outcry (tumult, or hue and cry).
Oh you inane (silly)! Now keep on weeping (lamenting).
Seeing (merciless) love of the Jatta! OR
Seeing the dwellings of the Jatta!

Dastaan-e-Moomal Rano - The Sketches - Coke Studio, Season 11

We recently listened the poetry Aziz Khoso, our friend Zulfiqar Fakir introduced his poetry to us and we composed very randomly one of his poetry “Adh Qalandar Chokri” it’s a very first version and we are posting it as test version to see how you folks comments on that. 

It’s a beautiful Sindhi poetry. 

Before this song we haven’t composed any such kind of poetry and we love experimental, this one is pure acoustic and processed in studio but performed live.

Translation in English 

You have your own borders,
Governed by your own laws.

Within you lived a country of mine, 
But you remained unaware of it.

All these butterflies took birth from you.
Oh mysterious feminine, tell me which one is your country?

The desert land looks illusory,
and trees look just like children,

The belly of this river is wide,
And you, just like a young neem tree.

You haven't yet sung any pond in your sweet laari (dialect)
Wonder when will my barren soil become fertile within you?

Over many dunes covered in thick sand leading to Kaasbo (a region in Tharparker),
I have silently looked for your footprints everywhere.

Near Veera Wah that faces Saardhro,
From the land of Rooplo Kohli to Anchalasar and Choorio, I looked for you in all Kohli villages.

Oh girl as sacred as Gori Temple, tell me which one is your abode?

Adh Qalandar Chokri - The Sketches - Test Version (Acoustic)

Musafir Mann - The Sketches 
Live Acoustic (Studio Mix) 

Poet: Sardar Shah 
Language: Sindhi
Art Work & English Translation: Areesha Khuwaja

Transcribed in English 

Where are you, fellow traveler?
My travelling heart calls out to you.


You, me and this dense, dark night are all companions,
And look how the skies rumble for us.

Oh fellow traveler,

If you come as thirst, I will be the monsoon.
This haze will turn into my wedding skirt and I, the bride.

I am a small drop from your ocean of life and when you arrive, I will expand into the whole universe,
And if you don't arrive this time,
then I will become a burden for my own being. 

The breath of my life burns like sandalwood
and calls out to you through its fragrance.
Oh fellow traveler, our hearts are this very country, and this is where we will meet.

Our youth is just like the husk on trees and we will meet before it separates itself from its fruit.

Meeting in person is another story,
We will converge when we meet each other's eyes.

Oh fellow traveler,
I will be within you as you are,
We will unite when you feel me inside of you.

My desire/yearning is thunderous and I strum this body like a tambooro, calling out to you.

“Lyrics in Roman Sindhi”

Musafir Tu Kithe Aaheen
