Run From What's Comfortable, Forget Safety

Roz Roz + Baran

Track 5 from Pakistani progressive rock band The D/A Method's debut album The Great Disillusion. 

(Dar/Alvie/Iqbal/Ajaz)

Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Paani kay hazaron boondh
Aur aatish ki noor
Mein mil kar ghoom

Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Tera ishq zamanay mein mushhoor
Tera imaan mazboot
Mere sapnon mein…

Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom

Mullah kee nazar
Noor-e-firasat se khalee hai
Darvaish to…
Rooh-e-nafasat par jhoomta hai

Is kaum mein magar
Muddat se who darvaish nayaab hai
Dhoondun to milay
Mere dil mein…

Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom
Mere tann mein ghoom

A solo

Translation:
Whirl darvaish whirl
In thousands of drops of water
And the light of fire
Merge and whirl

Whirl darvaish whirl
Your love – legendary through the ages
Your faith – strong
In my dreams…

Whirl
In my mind
Whirl

The Mullah’s sight
Has lost the light of penetrative vision
But the darvaish…
Dances to a refined frequency

In this nation
For ages the darvaish has been scarce
If I search I’ll find him
In my heart…

Whirl
In my mind
Whirl
In my body, whirl

Darvaish

Lyrics

Last night I lost my head
A quarter after ten
I wish I could tell someone
Exactly how that felt

But in this desert land
Nothing will be know
For in this desert sand
Nothing can be sown

That's how I lost my head
A quarter after ten
I wish I could show you all
These demons and regrets

But in this desert sand
Nothing should be sown
For in this desert land
Nothing can be known

Last night I lost my head

I wish I could show you all
These demons and regrets
But in this desert sand
Nothing should be sown
For in this desert land
Nothing can be known
