Music for the soul

गायक: ऊस्ताद अमानत अली खान , Lyricist: INSHALLHA KHAN INSHA

\"ईन्शा\" जी उठो, अब कूच करो,
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या
ईन्शा जी उठो, अब कूच करो

वहशी को सुकूँ से क्या मतलब-(२)
जोगी का नगर में ठिकाना क्या

ईन्शा जी उठो, अब कूच करो,
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या
ईन्शा जी उठो, अब कूच करो

इस दिल के दरीदा-दामन को देखो तो सही, सोचो तो सही-(२)
जिस झोली में सौ छेद हुए,(२)
उस झोली को फैलाना क्या

ईन्शा जी उठो, अब कूच करो,
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या,
ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो,

शब बिती चाँद भी डूब गया-(२)
ज़ंजीर पड़ी दरवाज़े में
क्यों देर गये घर आये हो-(२)
सजानी से करोगे बहाना क्या

ईन्शा जी उठो, अब कूच करो,
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या,
ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो

जब शहर के लोग न रस्ता देखें, क्यों बन में न जा, बिस्राम करे-(२)
दीवानों की-सी न बात करे-(२)
तो और करे दीवाना क्या

ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या,
ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो

वहशी को सुकूँ से क्या मतलब-(२),
जोगी का नगर में ठिकाना क्या

ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो
इस शहर में जी का लगाना क्या,
ईन्शा जी उठो,अब कूच करो

( These Verses Are Not Included In Audio File)

उस हुस्न के सचे मोती को हम देख सकें पर छू न सकें
जिसे देख सकें पर छू न सकें वो दौलत क्या वो ख़ज़ाना क्या
उस को भी जला दुखते हुए मन इक शोला लाल भभुखा बन
यूँ आँसू बन बह जाना क्या यूँ माटी में मिल जाना क्या

Ab kaha hoon kahan nahi hoon main
Ab kaha hoon kahan nahi hoon main
Jiss jagah hoon wahan nahi hoon main
Kaun awaaz de raha hai mujhe
Koi keh de yahan nahi hoon main
Main hawa hoon kahan watan mera
Ab kahaan hoon..kahaan nahi hoon main
Ab kahaan hoon..kahaan nahi hoon main
Jis jagah hoon wahaan nahi hoon main
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Kaun awaz de raha hai mujhe
Koi keh de yahaan nahi hoon main
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Mai ke har chand ek khaana nashin
Anjuman anjuman suhan mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Barg-e-gul par charag sa kya hai
Choo gaya tha use dahan mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Main ke toota hua sitara hoon
Kya bigaregi anjuman mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Har ghadi ek naya takaza hai
Dard sar ban gaya badan mera
Dasht mera na ye chaman mera
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera
Main hawa hoon kahaan watan mera.

Would like to share a B'ful song by legendary band Dire Straits that perfectly depicts pain n' suffering of War. Mark Knofler's soulful deep vocals infused with his signature guitar playing makes it true classic.

..

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Really soothing and melodious.

Sir,

As a historian yourself, it may be of some interest to you to know that this song was written by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the 19th-century Nawab of Awadh as a lament when he was exiled from his beloved Lucknow by the British Raj before the failed Rebellion of 1857, where he uses the metaphor of bidaai (bride's farewell) of a bride from her father's (babul) home, and his own banishment from his beloved Lucknow, to far away Calcutta, while he spent the rest of his years--Wiki

Cheers!

Arooj Aftab, another talented Singer from Pakistan with Sufi touch. Her enchanting lazy voice soothes your soul. I discovered this ballad while searching for Sufi Rock stuff few days back. This particular song is a bit melancholic and soul stirring but highly addictive. The video is a clip taken from tele film 'Hazy Grey Sky' that actually did justice to the song. :)
