listening to this at 5am v sexy voice 😔👍🏻

I am extremely excited to share this album inspired from 4 poems -- 2 by Faiz Ahmed Faiz and one each by Sheikh Ayaz and Mustafa Zaidi. 

This labor of love took a long time in the making. This is my tribute to the great poets from Pakistan but also an attempt to generate a fresh interest in these works by sharing them in a new way. 

Please listen, share and support! 

This effort would not have been possible without the support of some very talented and wonderful people,

Heaven

If I could hold the colour in my hand
I would be home, home again
and if I could break the bulb in your brain
then you would be a pure soul again
and if it isn’t worth it, then so be it.

Hold your head up high and walk on
no one knows the world you’ve touched
park the car behind the lot 
and love will come and greet you son
don’t look back or hearts of stone 
come crashing down come crashing down
arch your back son, float on by
high comes the flood and marks the end

Hold your head up high and walk on
no one knows that you’ve been touched

was truly depression during this period so i rly felt. the lyrics. but I'm ok now 🤪

lyrix:
Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi
He don't wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please, but she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance
We slow dance in the living room
But all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone, stroking a cheek

They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone

The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
Till all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it's exciting, running through the night
But every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone
Better on my own

They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone

They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

An original by Humble Awan, this goes out to the batch of 2020, who deserved better and more. It's always difficult to say goodbye when you love something with all of your heart, but somehow it is worse when the chance to say goodbye is taken away from you. This video is a collection of your memories, from all of you, to all of you. The amount of love in this video is only a small representation of the bonds we all have forged for the rest of our lives.

------- Warning: spoilers ahead!!! -------

On this episode of Ijtamaee Feminist Jaiza, Noor Ejaz and Shmyla Khan interrogate the question of class in the show; exploring the power dynamics within the churails themselves, the politics of Sara and Jugnu’s ‘leadership’, depiction of middle/working class men and the epic monologue by Hina Khawaja Bayat (we stan). We also wonder whether the politics practiced by the churails can be used to draw analogies with the Pakistani feminist movement.

Episode 2: Churails, Class aur Intersectionality

she’s so kind
she’s so divine
she’s got everything
she’s my everything
she’s so sweet

she’s so fine
but she’s not mine
oh how I’d give it up
all just for her soft touch
she’s so fine
