Wadali brothers Qawwali version of Chuk charkha gali de wich paawan

Ve mahiya tere vekhan nu, 
chuk charkha gali de vich daanwa'an,

Ve loka paane main kat di, 
tang teriya yaad de panwa. 

Charkhe di oo kar de ole, 
yaad teri da tumba bole. 

ve nimma nimma geet ched ke, 
tang kath di hullare kha'waan 

vasan ni deinde saurey pekey, 
mainu tere pain pulekhe, 

ve hoon mainu das mahiya, 
tere baaju kidhar nu jaawan.

Ve mahiya tere vekhan nu - Wadali Brothers

Howls Moving Castle Theme (Originally from "Howl's Moving Castle") by Anime Kei

Nahi nigaah mein manjil, toh justju hi sahi.
Nahi visaal mayassar to aarzoo hi sahi,

( If not a destination in my eyes, let there be the desire of thee
If we are not destined to meet, let there be the wish to see)....

Na tan mein khoon faraaham na ashq aankhon mein
Namaaz-e-shauq to waajib hai, be-wuzoo hi sahi

(So what if there is no blood in the body, nor a teardrop in the eyes,
The prayer of yearning will still be obligatory, impure as it may be ) ......

Kisi tarah to saje bazm maikade walon
Naahi jo baada-o-saagar to ha-o-hoo hi sahi

(The show must go on, and the tavern must rejoice,
If not with wine and clinking glass, with raccous noises and celebrations let it be )....

Gar intezaar kathin hai to jab talak ae-dil
Kisi ke vaada-e-farda ki guftagu hi sahi

(If it is so difficult, then as we wait,
Lets discuss the promises of another day, the promises still to keep. ).....

Dayaar-e-gair mein maharam agar nahi koi
To faiz zikr-e-vatan apne rubaruu hi sahi

(In this land of strangers, if you have is no friend,
Faiz, then, discuss with yourself, of things back home, and how everything would be. )......

Into Your Light - Shaheryar Mirza feat. Natasha Humera Ejaz & Talal Qureshi ('12)

Khabar-E-Taha'yur-E-Ishq Sun,Na Junoon Raha,Na Pari Raha

It was sung as protest by JNU students against the oppression. 
This revolutionary poem "Dastoor" of Habib Jalib was sung by JNU students who protested against the oppression. More power to the the young bright souls.

Inqilaab Zindabad ✊

Deep jis ka mehllaat hi mein jaley,
(Whose lamp shines only in mansions,)

Chand logon ki khushiyon ko le kar chaley,
(Which sets out only with a few folk’s elation,)

Wo jo saaye mein har maslehat ke paley,
(Under the shadow of self-interest which finds protection,)

Aisey dastoor ko,
Sub-he-be-noor ko
Main nahein maanta,
Main nahein jaanta.
(That tradition…That dark morning…
I shall not revere!
I shall not greet!)


Main bhi khaaif nahein takhta-e-daar se,
Main bhi Mansoor hoon, keh do aghyaar se,
(I too am not afraid of the powers that be!
I too am victorious go and tell the oppressors!)

Kyun daraatey ho zindaan ki deevar se,
(With the prison wall why do you try to scare me?)

Zulm ki baat ko,
Jehl ki raat ko,
Main nahein maanta,
Main nahein jaanta.
(The tongue of oppression…
The night of ignorance…
I shall not defer to!
I shall not acknowledge!)

“Phool shaakhon pe khilne lagey” tum kaho,
“Jaam rindon ko milne lagey” tum kaho,
(“Branches are abloom with flowers” you say!
“The thirsty have got to drink” you say!)

“Chaak seenon kay silne lagey” tum kaho,
(“Wounds of the heart are being sewn” you say!)


Iss khule jhooth ko,
Zehn ki loot ko,
Main nahein maanta,
Main nahein jaanta.
(This open lie…
A plunder of reason…
I shall not consent to!
I shall not recognise!)

Tum nay loota hai sadyon hamaara sukoon,
(For centuries you have pillaged peace that was our)

Ab na hum per chalega tumhara fasoon,
(Your spell over us shall have no more power)

Charaagar dardmandon ke bantey ho kyun?
(Why do you pretend to be a healer of those lamenting in grief?)

Tum nahein charaagar,
Koi maane magar,
Main nahein maanta,
Main nahein jaanta
(You are no healer!
Even though some may agree…
I shall dis-agree!
I shall not concede!).
